Appears in Vintage Hollywood Posters 9 CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. A 1950 Realart Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 80") (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. Condition: very good. The photo image of Karloff is a glued on photo (typical of paper banners and 30x40s at this time). The photo is in nice condition with a scuff mark in the lower left corner and a couple of minor border defects. The rest of the poster was printed with a silkscreen process, and there are some creases and scuffs around the edges of the poster, with a greater number of creases and scuffs around the image of the monster at bottom right and in the background beneath his image. There is a small C-shaped tear in the extreme right edge of the image near the bottom. Overall, the poster has survived better than most silkscreen paper banners from this period, as they are extremely prone to creasing and scuffing, simply from being rolled and unrolled.
