Note that this movie is mostly forgotten today, but most viewers say it is a really underrated B-horror movie gem, especially thanks to the performances of Karloff and Anne Revere (as the fake medium), and thanks to the really crazy seance sequence at the end with the dead bodies in the weird suits!

That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example of this card we have ever auctioned! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. There are creases and tiny tears in the upper left corner, extending into Karloff's credit, and someone put many pieces of clear tape on the back of that area. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
