Strayer horror murder mystery thriller ("Do human vampires really exist?"; set in an unnamed European country, about a mad scientist who needs living human tissue to conduct his wacky experiments, and he makes it look like vampires are killing the people who he has killed by leaving puncture marks on their necks and draining their blood) starring Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, Melvyn Douglas, Maude Eburne, George E. Stone, and Dwight Frye 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 original poster material from this very early vampire movie has always been extremely rare! However (likely because it is from it is from Majestic Pictures, and NOT from Universal), the posters sell for only a small fraction of the prices of Universal horror posters from the same time period! In all the 19 years we have sold hundreds of thousands of posters, we have only sold three inserts on this movie (which were in much lesser condition), and we had sold an original one-sheet on this title until 2010, when we auctioned this very same poster (it sold for $1,503!), which has now been re-consigned to us (and it is still the only one-sheet from this movie we have ever auctioned)! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a light circular foreign stamp in the bottom right corner. It had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, pinholes in the corners, and minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above (and left alone the faint foreign stamp), but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
