Auction History Result 8d002 WEREWOLF OF LONDON 1/2sh R51 Henry Hull, Valerie Hobson & Warner Oland in 1st Universal! Date Sold 11/1/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1951 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Werewolf of London, the 1935 Stuart Walker England monster horror thriller ("Beware! Terror strikes in the night"; "Murder in the moonlight! Terror stalks! An unseen hand strikes!"; "Beware the wicked hour and the stalking being!"; "Beware the stalking being, half human, half beast!") starring Henry Hull (in the title role as the werewolf), Warner Oland (best remembered as Charlie Chan in the 20th Century Fox series), Valerie Hobson, Lester Matthews, Clark Williams, Spring Byington, Lawrence Grant, and J.M. Kerrigan. Note that this is the "forgotten" Universal horror movie of the 1930s, because Universal abandoned this portrayal of the werewolf, and created an entirely different wolf-man in 1941 with Lon Chaney Jr. in very different makeup from that which Henry Hull wore in this movie. But this was Universal's very first werewolf movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that our consignor is a longtime horror collector who purchased this poster many years ago and had it professionally paperbacked some number of years ago, and then recently, when he noticed that the original restoration was not aging so well, he had it re-paperbacked by Studio C. We are 100% certain this is an original 1951 poster! What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded once in each direction and there were creases and tiny tears on parts of both foldlines. There were creases, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, extending into the edges of the image in several areas, including into the hair and forehead of Henry Hull at top right. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects (and the restorer chose to put some new paper over parts of the original blank borders).
