An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Mark of the Vampire, the 1935 Tod Browning horror thriller ("You will not dare believe... what your eyes see!"; "These two strange symbols meant 'marked for death'!"; "Important! Do not divulge the secret of 'Mark of the Vampire' to your friends... let them by mystified... and thrilled!"; based on the story 'The Hypnotist' by Tod Browning; about a father and daughter vampire team in an unnamed European country, and naturally, wherever they go, people are found dead) starring Lionel Barrymore, Elizabeth Allan, Bela Lugos (as Count Mora)i, Lionel Atwill, Jean Hersholt, Carroll Borland (as Luna, a female vampire; Borland was a huge Lugosi fan who wrote a script intended for him and appeared in this movie with him, which was only one of six movies she appeared in!), Holmes Herbert, and James Bradbury Jr. Note that director Tod Browning had incredible success with Dracula in 1931, but Freaks in 1933 was a major failure (at the time), and he was trying to regain his former glory with this movie, which was very loosely based on another major success, London After Midnight, which starred Lon Chaney Sr.! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: What a wonderful candid this is! It shows Tod Browning and many members of the film crew with the camera, and they are filming Bela Lugosi and Carroll Borland (referred to as the "Svengali woman"), and Tod Browning is seated in front of the camera, and seated next to him is legendary cinematographer James Wong Howe. Better yet, the picture is filmed through "the huge spiderweb" that was used in the picture! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Condition: very good. The still was attached to an album page, and there is light residue over most of the back of the still. It is likely dried glue, and while there are stains from it, you can clearly read all of the writing on the back. It really has no effect on the front, and this incredible still will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
