A Group of 12 REPRODUCTION Photos (measure 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari (released in the U.S. in 1921 and in England in 1924 as "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari"), the 1920 Robert Wiene German expressionism silent horror thriller ("A thrilling fantastic photo-play"; about a man who sleepwalks in a disturbing world and there is a mysterious Dr. Caligari who seems to be his arch enemy!) starring Werner Krauss (in the title role as Doctor Caligari), Conrad Veidt (as Cesare, the somnambulist), Friedrich Feher, Lil Dagover, and Hans Heinrich von Twardowski. Note that this movie is considered by many to be the first major horror movie ever. Much of the movie takes place within the dreams of the sleepwalker, and the sets are distorted to reflect his distorted mind (they were made of paper and the shadows were painted on to the paper!)

Important Added Info: Note that this group of REPRODUCTION photos from classic horror movies is one of 20 similar groups we are currently auctioning, in 20 separate auctions. They were collected by one of the first great horror collectors, John Parnum, who started collecting in the 1960s, and continued until his passing in the 2000s. THESE repro photos were mostly purchased by him in the early 1970s, early in his collecting days, when he was willing to get repros of rare photos where he thought he would likely never find originals. On the best titles, he tried to get a repro of EVERY still that was made! While these are NOT original photos, they WERE mostly created around 50 years ago, and surely it would take a lot of time and effort to track down repros of all of these images, but the winning bidder of this auction will get them all at once! Finally, note that we are not infallible, and there is a slight chance that a few of these may be unmarked reissues, and we suppose a few could be original. Certainly, many are of high quality, and some are likely re-strikes from original negatives. Please look at our images to see what REPRODUCTION photos are in this group! Condition: very good.
