2 1949 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Spooks Run Wild, the 1941 Phil Rosen juvenile delinquent horror comedy starring Bela Lugosi, The East Side Kids (including Leo Gorcey, Bobby Jordan, Huntz Hall, Sunshine Sammy Morrison [one of the original "Our Gang" kids]), Angelo Rossitto, Dave O'Brien, David Gorcey, and Dorothy Short (who was married to Dave O'Brien). Just about every horror fan is familiar with the brilliant move Universal Pictures made in 1948 when they tried to revive their tired Abbott & Costello movies by adding their classic Universal monsters (the first of these was Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and it was so successful that it spawned a number of sequels with Abbott & Costello meeting many other monsters!). But only advanced horror fans know that Monogram had already done something very similar to this much earlier, with this movie! In 1941, the Dead End Kids/East Side Kids/Little Tough Guys movies were getting stale, and Monogram had the great idea to bring Bela Lugosi in and make a "horror comedy". It was successful enough that they repeated the experiment the following year with "Ghosts on the Loose". So we wonder if Universal didn't get the idea for joining Abbott and Costello and their monsters from these movies!

Condition: good to very good. The card at the top of our image has some light stains in the lower right title area, and it also has some scuffing in the dark colored areas that are likely a printing defect, but it is otherwise in pretty nice condition. The other card has some blue ink scuffing in the blank borders that also appears to be a printing defect, but it is otherwise in nice condition.
