Auction History Result #259 HORROR OF DRACULA special poster '58 Date Sold 3/12/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Special Poster (measures 10 3/4" x 16 1/2") (Learn More) Dracula (released in the U.S. as "Horror of Dracula" and "Dracula 1958"), the classic 1958 Terence Fisher English Hammer vampire horror thriller ("The chill of the tomb won't leave your blood for hours... After you come face-to-face with Dracula !"; "Who will be his bride tonight?"; "The terrifying lover who died... Yet lived!"; "The chill of the tomb won't leave your blood for hours... after you come face-to-face with Dracula !"; "Don't dare see it... alone!"; "All New! In Brilliant Technicolor!"; "Screenplay by Jimmy Sangster"; "From the novel by Bram Stoker") starring Peter Cushing (as Doctor Van Helsing), Michael Gough, Melissa Stribling, Carol Marsh, Christopher Lee (in the title role "as Dracula"), John Van Eyssen, Valerie Gaunt, and Janina Faye. Note that this was the very first of the Hammer Dracula movies! Given how popular they are today, it seems surprising that it took two years to make a sequel (The Brides of Dracula in 1960), and even more surprising that Christopher Lee did not reprise his role (David Peel took over in this one). To be fair, Christopher Lee had played Sherlock Holmes in the interim, and that was probably more interesting to him. Hammer and he didn't return to Dracula until 1966 with Dracula: Prince of Darkness, and there were five more Dracula Hammer movies between 1968 and 1972!

It is clearly vintage (I would bet anything it is from the original release of the film), and yet it does not resemble any other poster in its size. It would seem that it could be a pressbook cover, but it is completely blank on the reverse and it doesn't seem to have any identifying pressbook elements. If anyone knows what this poster is, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There are creases throughout the poster. There is bottom 1" of the vertical foldline has separation with a 2 1/2" tape stain. There are two tape stains in the top center edge of the poster with a 1 1/2" and a 1/4" tear. There is a pinhole in each corner. Learn More about condition grades
