Lee Universal monster horror thriller ("Mysterious! Weird! Horrifying!"; "The greatest fear figures in screen history... all in Universal's NEW cavalcade of horror!"; the third Universal "Frankenstein" movie) starring Basil Rathbone (in the title role as the original Dr. Frankenstein's son), Boris Karloff ( in the title role as the Frankenstein monster), Bela Lugosi (as Ygor), Lionel Atwill, Josephine Hutchinson, and Donnie Dunagan (as Peter von Frankenstein) AND The Bride of Frankenstein, the classic 1935 James Whale Universal monster horror thriller ("The Monster Demands a Mate!"; "The monster thriller"; "Who will be The Bride of Frankenstein. Who will dare?"; the second of the Universal Frankenstein movies, and the only example I am aware of where a sequel is clearly superior to the original movie!; this is James Whale's masterpiece, and almost everyone agrees it is among the finest movies ever made, regardless of genre) starring Boris Karloff (as the Frankenstein monster), Colin Clive (as Dr. Henry Frankenstein), Valerie Hobson (as the bride of Dr. Frankenstein), Elsa Lanchester (in the title role as the bride of the Frankenstein monster, and also as Mary Shelley!), Una O'Connor, Ernest Thesiger (as Dr. Pretorius), E.E.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned four half-sheet posters with this design, but two of them (including this poster) were reconsigned to us for the auctions, so we have only auctioned two actual examples of this half-sheet! We are also auctioning an ultra rare half-sheet for this movie with a completely different design and background (and we have NEVER auctioned that poster before!). Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has a second horizontal fold at a slight diagonal to the regular one, and it is furthest away from the regular one in the center. There are creases along those two horizontal folds and in the area between them, and they are most noticeable in the monster's upper lip and cheeks. The theater that used this poster was not showing Bride of Frankenstein, and there was a snipe glued over that area. It was removed, but left tape stains at the left and right ends of the title and down the right of the tagline above it, and also in the center of the skull above the "K" of "KARLOFF". There are stains scattered in the blank borders, more so in the left of the bottom blank border. Obviously, the poster's defects described above can be corrected through restoration, but look at our super-sized image and bear the cost of restoration before bidding on this poster.
