A Set of 10 2021 "Faux" Lobby Cards (measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]; see below) (Learn More) the 1945 double-bill ("Double Horror to Double-Scare You!") of House of Frankenstein, the 1944 Erle C. Kenton Universal monster horror thriller ("Frankenstein's Monster! Wolf Man! Dracula! Hunchback! Mad Doctor!"; the sixth Universal Frankenstein movie, and this was the first "all-star" movie, with all of its best monsters brought together in a single movie!) starring Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr. (as Lawrence Talbot, the Wolfman), John Carradine (as Dracula), J. Carroll Naish (as Daniel, the hunchback), Anne Gwynne, Peter Coe, Elena Verdugo and Lionel Atwill (Atwill must have had a terrible agent that he ended up behind Peter Coe, and Elena Verdugo in the billing!). At least Atwill did better than poor Glenn Strange, who played the Frankenstein monster, and didn't even receive billing! Also, is it just me, or is it the height of insensitivity that a "huncback" was treated as a monster on a par with Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Wolf Man? AND The Mummy's Curse, the 1944 Leslie Goodwins Universal Egyptian-curse murder monster horror thriller sequel starring Lon Chaney Jr. (reprising his role as Kharis, the Mummy), Peter Coe, Jackie Lou Harding (as Kay Harding), Virginia Christine, Dennis Moore, Kurt Katch, and Napoleon Simpson. Note that an advance collector pointed out that this double-bill was released in late December of 1944. However, all known posters have a 1945 copyright so we will refer to it as 1945. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 30 "faux" lobby card sets we were consigned, which we are auctioning in 30 separate auctions! WHAT ARE THESE? We were consigned 68 similar faux lobby sets (but entirely different images and titles), which were created in 2021 by a long time collector who (like so many of us) chose to stay home that year a lot due to Covid, and he made those 68 faux sets to help pass the time! He was inspired by the "Fantasy #9" lobby cards created several decades ago, each of which is from a classic horror/sci-fi movie, showing a great scene that wasn't in the original set! He created those 68 sets, using top images from each film! He did not make them through a computer program, but instead pasted together actual prints to create mock-ups. On most of these he made 8 card sets, but on some of them he created sets with odd quantities (as low as 4, and as high as 26 cards!). He then printed just THREE of each set, and he promised not to reprint them (and he has not). He numbered the first card in each set, and what we offered was the "1 of 3" of each set, which meant there are only two other sets of each, and there will never be more of those. Our consignor told us that he would keep one of the three sets of each, but MAY give us the remaining third set at a later time to auction. But the winner of those 68 auctions have just one of three of these numbered sets that were created! TWICE IN 2023, THE SAME CONSIGNOR CREATED FIRST 47 AND THEN 41 ADDITIONAL SETS! Those were just like the first 68 sets, except all different titles and images. We auctioned those then, and now we are auctioning an additional 30 sets this consignor just created, and again we are auctioning the number 1 of 3 of each set (in 30 separate auctions) AND (as with the last three groups of these he created) OUR CONSIGNOR AGAIN PROMISES TO NEVER REPRINT THESE! So once again this is a great chance to get any of these really cool faux lobby sets! Condition: fine. The faux lobby cards are in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
