Auction History Result p063 MARK OF THE VAMPIRE 8x10 still '35 great montage image! Date Sold 3/21/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 8" Movie Still (Learn More) The Mark of the Vampire, the 1935 Tod Browning horror thriller ("You will not dare believe... what your eyes see!"; "These two strange symbols meant 'marked for death'!"; "Important! Do not divulge the secret of 'Mark of the Vampire' to your friends... let them by mystified... and thrilled!"; based on the story 'The Hypnotist' by Tod Browning; about a father and daughter vampire team in an unnamed European country, and naturally, wherever they go, people are found dead) starring Lionel Barrymore, Elizabeth Allan, Bela Lugos (as Count Mora)i, Lionel Atwill, Jean Hersholt, Carroll Borland (as Luna, a female vampire; Borland was a huge Lugosi fan who wrote a script intended for him and appeared in this movie with him, which was only one of six movies she appeared in!), Holmes Herbert, and James Bradbury Jr. Note that director Tod Browning had incredible success with Dracula in 1931, but Freaks in 1933 was a major failure (at the time), and he was trying to regain his former glory with this movie, which was very loosely based on another major success, London After Midnight, which starred Lon Chaney Sr.! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is an unusual 8" x 8" still (it clearly has not been trimmed and was created that size). Also note that the still has a stamp on the back that says, "From the Borst Collection", and a penciled price of "75-". I don't know when that price was put on, but I believe it was many years ago! Condition: very good to fine. There are a very few faint creases within the image and in the borders, but they are really not at all noticeable except when the still is turned to the light. From straight on, the still looks great and I would think every horror collector would love to display this great still! Learn More about condition grades
