Note that Universal had also made a movie with this name in 1934 with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, but this movie is not a remake of that movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this first release title card, and the last one was 19 years ago! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. The card had staple holes and faint stains around the edges, with a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. It appears that someone had the card pressed and flattened without backing the card, but that they did not do restoration to the above defects (the card can be displayed as it is, or certainly, additional restoration can be performed).
