An Original Undated (probably 1948) Double-Bill Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #5 (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More)

the late 1940s (likely 1948) Realart double-bill release ("The Phantom Monster Show!"; "Good pictures like good books never grow old") of Son of Frankenstein, the classic 1939 Rowland V. Lee Universal monster horror thriller ("Mysterious! Weird! Horrifying!"; "The greatest fear figures in screen history... all in Universal's NEW cavalcade of horror!"; the third Universal "Frankenstein" movie) starring Basil Rathbone (in the title role as the original Dr. Frankenstein's son), Boris Karloff ( in the title role as the Frankenstein monster), Bela Lugosi (as Ygor), Lionel Atwill, Josephine Hutchinson, and Donnie Dunagan (as Peter von Frankenstein) AND The Bride of Frankenstein, the classic 1935 James Whale Universal monster horror thriller ("The Monster Demands a Mate!"; "The monster thriller"; "Who will be The Bride of Frankenstein. Who will dare?"; the second of the Universal Frankenstein movies, and the only example I am aware of where a sequel is clearly superior to the original movie!; this is James Whale's masterpiece, and almost everyone agrees it is among the finest movies ever made, regardless of genre) starring Boris Karloff (as the Frankenstein monster), Colin Clive (as Dr. Henry Frankenstein), Valerie Hobson (as the bride of Dr. Frankenstein), Elsa Lanchester (in the title role as the bride of the Frankenstein monster, and also as Mary Shelley!), Una O'Connor, Ernest Thesiger (as Dr. Pretorius), E.E. Clive, O.P. Heggie, John Carradine, Dwight Frye (as Karl), and Gavin Gordon

Important Added Info: Note that Realart put the second and third Frankenstein movies into a single double bill, and created special double bill movie paper for that release. They went all out in designing really cool lobby cards! They dubbed the double bill "The Phantom Monster Show!", and put "Horror Hit No. 1" and "Horror Hit No. 2" on the two movies. They gave the lobby cards really cool border art of a series of skulls, and they cleverly put scenes from each movie on their own card, rather than using split images. This means that some of these cards have scenes that are very similar to that of the original release cards, and some are unique to this set. The title card has ten inset scenes from the two movies. These are really cool lobby cards!

Condition: No condition recorded. several pinholes in each corner and a few in the borders in-between the corners; there were two pinholes and a pair of staple holes in the face of the monster at lower left, but someone put a piece of white tape over the back of that part of the card, and you can barely see the holes (the same was done in the top left corner where a pair of staple holes was in the top skull image); there are smudges over the words "The Bride of" in the bottom title area. Looking at the front of the card, the image area looks to be in great condition. Turning over the card, I see there is a light horizontal crease across the center of the card, but it is truly only a partial crease, and it is virtually invisible from the front of the card. I would think almost any collector would be happy to display this great lobby card!
