Date Sold 3/11/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) The Return of the Vampire, the 1943 Lew Landers werewolf vampire monster horror thriller ("Beauty at the mercy of a Monster!"; "Man? Or Monster? Or Both?"; "Terrifying! Paralyzing! Horrifying!"; about an English family who thought they rid themselves of a vampire, but during World War II, German bombs free the monster; it reclaims the soul of its former wolfman servant and plots to take revenge on the family) starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as the Vampire), Frieda Inescort, Miles Mander, Matt Willis (as the werewolf), and Nina Foch. Note that Columbia would have loved to refer to Bela Lugosi's character as "Dracula", but Universal owned the rights to the character, so they could only refer to him as "the vampire", and he was named "Armand Tesla" (and Matt Willis plays Tesla's werewolf servant!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left of the still. Condition: very good. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
