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 been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had water staining and some scattered areas of paper loss down the left side of the poster, in some parts very slight and in some parts extending up to 3" into the left of the poster. It had an effect on the left side of the Wolfman's head, part of Dracula's face, and a small amount of the left side of Frankenstein's head. It also entered into the "A" of "ABBOTT" in the credits. Other than the above, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was really expertly backed, and extreme care was taken to the restoration within the figures, and I doubt hardly anyone would realize the restoration that was done if they were not told. This poster will display great on anyone's wall, but please do not bid on it unless you can accept the restoration it has had and have studied our super-sized image.
