Auction History Result 1p084 ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE KILLER BORIS KARLOFF insert 1949 art of scared Bud & Lou! Date Sold 11/6/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff, the 1949 Charles Barton screwball horror comedy ("More Ghoulish glee... Than when they met Frankenstein!"; "Help") starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Boris Karloff, Lenore Aubert, and Gar Moore. Note that this movie was originally titled "Easy Does It", and it was intended to be a Bob Hope comedy! However, the movie "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" had just come out and was a huge hit, and Universal reworked the script for Abbott & Costello, and changed the title to "Abbott and Costello Meet the Killers"! In that script, the lead villain was a FEMALE character named "Madame Switzer"! Five days before shooting began, Boris Karloff was hired, and the character became a swami, and the title of the movie was changed yet again, to include Boris Karloff's name!

Important Added Info: Note 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 slight discoloration scattered in various areas due to exposure to moisture (it is more noticeable on back but it is noticeable in a few portions of on front). It has several creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) along portions of some edges (especially at upper and lower center, and at lower center a jagged tear extends into Karloff's credit). Most of the tears (and the center horizontal fold) are backed with a brown tape. It has a few scuff marks and creases scattered in various areas as well. Certainly the poster could be restored and backed and it would look great, but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
