Auction History Result 9j0772 HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN LC 1944 image of monster Glenn Strange w/ Boris Karloff, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/3/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this card, 17 years ago and 28 years ago! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. The card had a tiny pair of staple holes in each top corner. Someone framed it many years ago, and they attached it to the mat with tape on the back of all four borders, but the tape was not put there for a restoration purpose. The card was displayed for years, and the mat over the edges of the border caused the borders of the card to discolor unevenly, so that the edges of the card are not the same color throughout, and you can clearly see where the mat was. Other than this defect, the card is in really nice unrestored condition. Obviously, one could simply display the card again, and if it were matted in the same way, it would not show at all, or one might choose to have slight border restoration performed.
