Date Sold 2/14/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 7 Undated (probably 1990s) Re-Release Theatrical Mexican Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 13" x 17" [33 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Dracula, the classic 1931 Tod Browning Universal vampire monster horror thriller ("The Greatest of all Horror Thrillers"; "The Vampire Thriller!"; "The story of the strangest passion the world has ever known!"; "Do vampires really exist?"; "From the famous novel & play by Bram Stoker") starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as Count Dracula), David Manners, Helen Chandler, Dwight Frye (if there had been a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award in 1931, Frye would have surely won it for his wild over-the-top portrayal as Renfield!), Edward Van Sloan (as Professor Abraham Van Helsing), Frances Dade, and Herbert Bunston NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these are NOT regular Mexican lobby cards. They are printed on a different paper stock and are generally in much better condition and much "newer" looking than regular Mexican lobby cards (and the inset images on each card is almost always a great scene!). The ones that have surfaced are also all from "better" movies (many classic movies), and there are only five cards or seven cards in each set. Therefore, we believe that they were almost surely created in the 1990s or after, and likely were sold directly to non-collectors (similar to Portal Publications commercial reprints in the U.S.). However, it is also possible that they were used when these classic movies were shown in theaters, but almost surely in the 1990s or after. DO NOT BID ON THESE THINKING THEY ARE FROM WHEN THE MOVIES CAME OUT! Also note that Dwight Frye was billed as "Dwich Frye" on these Mexican lobby cards, for unknown reasons! Also note that these Mexican lobby cards measure 13" x 17" [33 x 43 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
