Barton monster horror spoof comedy ("It's a grand New idea for Fun!"; the eighth Universal Frankenstein movie, and this time they added their #1 comedy team to both liven up the series, and to inject comedy; many people fondly remember this as their favorite of the 1940s Frankenstein movies!; "Jeepers!

Bud and Lou are in a stew when they tangle with the Titans of Terror!"; "The monsters of menace vs the masters of Mirth!") starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Lon Chaney Jr. ("The Wolf Man played by Lon Chaney"), Bela Lugosi (returning as Dracula after being long absent from the role; "Dracula played by Bela Lugosi"), Glenn Strange (in the title role, playing the Frankenstein monster; "The Monster played by Glenn Strange"), Lenore Aubert, Jane Randolph, Frank Ferguson, Charles Bradstreet, and Vincent Price (in a cute cameo, as the voice of The Invisible Man at the end of the movie!) 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 is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned three examples of this 1956 re-release insert in all our years of auctioning and the last time was 14 years ago, and that one was in "fair" condition, and one before that was 17 years ago! Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has darkened slightly in the borders and background areas. It has tack holes around the edges. Some child (no doubt in 1956!) put faint chalk marks on Frankenstein's face at upper left (see our image). There is also a small crease in his mouth. There is surface paper loss in the center of the top blank border where a piece of tape was roughly removed. Obviously a talented restorer can deal with the faint chalk described above, but bear this in mind before bidding on this rare and desirable poster! Learn More about condition grades
