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 NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: No condition recorded. the poster was dry-mounted to a board ; the poster had lots of horizontal creases all the way through the poster (some only an inch apart, some a few inches); there was a 3" vertical tear in the right of the top edge of the poster extending down through the top tagline; there was a 1" tear in the right of the bottom border extending into the bottom tagline; there is a tear with surface paper loss in the left side of the bottom credits; there were many tears, creases, and smudges around the edges of the poster and some vertical creases and tears on some of the horizontal foldlines. If I owned this poster, I would surely immediately have a talented restorer remove it from the backing, and then repair its many defects. It would likely require a good amount of restoration, but the crease lines could be greatly diminished prior to re-mounting, and the poster could be made to look quite nice!
