Auction History Result 1u148 ASSIGNMENT TERROR linen Argentinean poster '69 art of re-animated Dracula and Frankenstein! Date Sold 8/26/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 29 1/4" x 43 1/2") (Learn More) Los Monstruos del Terror (released in English-speaking countries as "Assignment Terror", "Dracula vs. Frankenstein" and "Operation Terror"), the 1970 Tulio Demicheli & Hugo Fregonese Spanish/German/Italian monster horror science fiction (sci-fi) thriller starring Michael Rennie, Karin Dor, Patty Shepard, Helga Geissler, Craig Hill, Angel Del Pozo (as Dracula), Manuel De Blas, Paul Naschy (as the Wolfman), Gene Reyes (as the Mummy), and Ferdinando Murolo (as Frankenstein). Note that in the early 1970s, there were three films that used the English title of "Dracula vs. Frankenstein". The most well-known of these is the 1971 Al Adamson film starring Lon Chaney Jr. (which was not released under other English-language titles on it's first release). However, there was also this 1970 film (released as both Assignment Terror and Dracula Vs. Frankenstein), and a 1972 film (Dracula contra Frankenstein) directed by Jesus Franco. All three movies have been confused with each other, which is especially easy to do, because some of the posters for these movies lack cast or crew credits! 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 movie has one of the wackiest plots I have ever read (I have never seen the movie, which may or may not be lucky!). The movie is about aliens from a dying world who bring two dead scientists back to life and then use their knowledge to re-animate classic Earth monsters including Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula, and the Werewolf! The Argentinean poster designer for this movie had no shame, and basically called the movie "Dracula vs Frankenstein", with a tiny "Operation Terror" below it, and included an image of Christopher Lee and Karloff and Lugosi, even though these monsters were played by entirely different actors! It IS an incredibly misleading poster, but it has a cool image! Condition: very good. The poster had a 14" tear in the bottom left (beginning in Dracula's right eyebrow and extending to the "H" of "MICHAEL" in the credits, and also a 10" tear that began in the center of Dracula's nose, and ran across to the bottom border below the word "CRAIG". Other than the above two tears, the poster had minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. You can see signs of the restoration of the above defects from close up, but from any reasonable viewing distance, they are not very distracting or noticeable. Learn More about condition grades
