An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-release Vintage Local Theater Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" [24 x 34 cm]) (Learn More) Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, the 1943 Roy William Neill Universal monster horror thriller (the fifth Universal Frankenstein movie) starring Ilona Massey (as Baroness Elsa Frankenstein), Patric Knowles, Bela Lugosi (in the title role as the Frankenstein Monster), Lionel Atwill, Maria Ouspenskaya, Rex Evans, Dwight Frye, Lon Chaney Jr. (in the title role as the Wolf Man; "Lon Chaney in his most terrifying role"; "Lon Chaney as The Wolfman"), Dennis Hoey, Jeff Corey, Doris Lloyd, Adia Kuznetzoff, Martha Vickers (billed as "Martha MacVicar" in her first movie), Gil Perkins (who doubled for Bela Lugosi in some action scenes), and Eddie Parker (who doubled for Lon Chaney Jr. in some action scenes). Note that in this movie, Bela Lugosi took over the role of the Frankenstein monster which had been played by Lon Chaney Jr. in the previous movie, because Lon Chaney Jr. reprised his role of the Wolf Man, which he had created in the 1941 Universal classic!

Important Added Info: Note that we can't say for certain, but local theater window cards like these were made in the 1940s and 1950s, and we think that this is from a 1940s re-release showing of this movie. Note that posters like these were printed on a thin paper and were sold to theaters in the 1940s. These local theater window cards (which in this case measures 9 1/2" x 13 1/2") are similar to those that were made by the Victor Cornelius company in the 1940s. We imagine that the people who made these likely also were sold a partly metal frame with a metal easel backing that held these posters (we have seen such a frame from the Victor Cornelius company, but their 11" x 14" "window cards" like these were on a slightly thicker paper). Most of these 11x14 local theater window cards we have seen either advertise B-western movies or other B-movies (usually the movies advertised included both 1930s and 1940s titles, but we think they were all being shown in the 1940s). Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
