Auction History Result 2k027 HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN 1/2sh R50 Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., best image with all monsters! Date Sold 11/5/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1950 Realart Re-Release Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) House of Frankenstein, the 1944 Erle C. Kenton Universal monster horror thriller ("All together...!"; "Frankenstein's Monster! The Wolf Man! Dracula! The Hunchback! The Mad Doctor!"; "Based on a Story by Curt Siodmak"; 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, Lionel Atwill (Atwill must have had a terrible agent that he ended up behind Peter Coe, and Elena Verdugo in the billing!), Michael Mark, Frank Reicher, Charles Wagenheim, William Edmunds, Belle Mitchell, Sig Ruman, and Glenn Strange (as "Frankenstein's monster"). 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 "hunchback" was treated as a monster on a par with Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Wolf Man? Also, why in the world did Glenn Strange not get billing on the posters? 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 was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster was lightly folded in each direction, and the folds are not very noticeable. Its left blank border was folded back at one time, and it has many smudges, stains, and tears around the edges, with small paper loss in the right end of the bottom blank border and tiny paper loss in the left end of the top blank border. There are a few creases, scuffs, and smudges scattered in the image that are not around the edges. Someone put brown paper tape on the back of several parts of the borders, but no restoration was performed. In spite of the many defects noted above, the poster can definitely be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or it would be an ideal candidate for restoration, because its defects are the type that respond well to it.
