Auction History Result c071 BRIDE OF THE MONSTER half-sheet movie poster '56 Ed Wood, Lugosi Date Sold 12/6/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Bride of the Monster, the 1956 Ed Wood (billed as "Edward D. Wood, Jr.") monster horror thriller ("It'll make your skin crawl!"; "The Screen's Master of the weird in his newest and most daring shocker!") starring Bela Lugosi ("More horrifying than 'Dracula' - 'Frankenstein'"), Tor Johnson, Tony McCoy, Loretta King, and Harvey Dunn. Note that Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is better known than this movie, but many people think this movie is even better (worse?) than that "classic"! 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 this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: good. There is brown paper tape on the back of the left and right borders, portions of the back of the top and bottom borders, and a long strip of paper tape on the back of the right of the image, where it looks like there was once a razor cut running down the image (it runs through Lugosi's right shoulder, down through his hand, and down through the right side of the head of the octopus). There is masking tape on the front of the top and right borders, and a diagonal corner cut off of the top left blank corner. There are creases scattered throughout the poster, and stains in the bottom of the left border, extending into Tor Johnson's arm and shirt. THE POSTER IS IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE ABOVE MAKES IT SOUND! It DOES have really significant defects, but a lot of them are in the borders (front and back), and the razor cut down the right of the image is very clean, and there is no paper loss. If the poster is paperbacked, the mounting process will greatly diminish the creases in the image, and it is likely that the poster will look great after restoration, with very little paint anywhere in the image!
