Strayer haunted house monster horror thriller ("Appalling in its horror - gruesome in its details - terrifying in its action - see 'The Monster Walks' - another 'Frankenstein'"; "You need plenty of nerve when you see this picture"; "Don't see this picture - unless you have steady nerves - unless your heart is strong."; about a man and woman who go to the woman's family mansion, and discover that her scientist father died suddenly and that her crazy uncle and his even crazier son intend to kill her as well, no doubt so they could inherit the family mansion and wealth; at the climax of the movie, the crazy cousin has the girl tied up and he instructs his giant ape to kill her, but the ape turns on the uncle and cousin, and kills them instead!) starring Mischa Auer, Rex Lease, Vera Reynolds, Sheldon Lewis, and Willie Best. Note that we have seen a 1932 one-sheet for this movie that a collector who owns it was kind enough to share with us (see our AH image of it here: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/8939889.html). So the 1932 posters ARE very similar to the 1938 Astor re-release posters, which we have sold. 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 three-sheet, and several other items that are in this Major Auction, were purchased from us over the last few years by a very longtime collector. He has very unfortunately had significant health issues, which has caused him to re-consign these items. What IS linenbacking?

The poster had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
