An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Walking Dead, the 1936 Michael Curtiz horror fantasy murderer revenge melodrama ("He died a man with a hunger to love and returned a monster with an instinct to kill!"; "Karloff is coming from beyond the grave!"; about a man who is framed for a murder he didn't commit and is then executed, which would normally be "the end of the story", but in this case, a scientist invents a way to bring him back from the dead, and naturally, he wants to find those who framed him and get revenge!) starring Boris Karloff, Ricardo Cortez, Edmund Gwenn, Marguerite Churchill, Warren Hull, Addison Richards, Barton MacLane, Robert Strange, Paul Harvey, and Henry O'Neill NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that Universal horror lobby cards from their top 1930s movies is extremely expensive. But the lobby cards from the three Warner Bros. early 1930s horror movies, The Mystery of the Wax Museum, Dr. X, and The Walking Dead, are FAR more rare than the Universal lobby cards! Why are these cards so rare? This is likely because there was a 1944 re-release, and likely the leftover 1936 movie paper was used up during that re-release. In all the years we have been auctioning, we have only previously auctioned one 1936 lobby card (the same exact card, which we auctioned twice), and now we are auctioning two different first release lobby cards! Condition: good. The card had been trimmed to just the image area and there were a few small stains scattered through the image, including in the girl's cheek and hat, and a 1 1/2" tear in the bottom center of the image. There was a foreign stamp on the back of the center of the card. A very talented restorer recreated all the missing borders and performed restoration to the image defects, without backing the card, which is an amazing process. The card looks and feels like an unrestored card, and surely very few people would realize that the areas outside the image had been recreated. But certainly bear this is mind before placing a bid on this lobby card! Learn More about condition grades
