Auction History Result 7k0994 WEREWOLF OF LONDON 1/2sh R1951 Henry Hull, Valerie Hobson & Oland, 1st Universal, rare! Date Sold 10/24/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1951 Realart Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Werewolf of London, the 1935 Stuart Walker England monster horror thriller ("Beware! Terror strikes in the night"; "Murder in the moonlight! Terror stalks! An unseen hand strikes!"; "Beware the wicked hour and the stalking being!"; "Beware the stalking being, half human, half beast!") starring Henry Hull (in the title role as the werewolf), Warner Oland (best remembered as Charlie Chan in the 20th Century Fox series), Valerie Hobson, Lester Matthews, Clark Williams, Spring Byington, Lawrence Grant, and J.M. Kerrigan. Note that this is the "forgotten" Universal horror movie of the 1930s, because Universal abandoned this portrayal of the werewolf, and created an entirely different wolf-man in 1941 with Lon Chaney Jr. in very different makeup from that which Henry Hull wore in this movie. But this was Universal's very first werewolf movie! 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 we have only previously auctioned three examples of this 1951 re-release half-sheet (and only one in the last 12 years), and we have NEVER auctioned a first release half-sheet. Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has tiny brown dot stains scattered in various areas (mostly in the lower half and they are mostly only noticeable in blank or lighter-colored areas, such as the title - see our image). There are tears at bottom that slightly enter the image area, and there is a tear at right, and those tears are repaired with tape from the back. It is otherwise "mostly all there" and still really colorful and this is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that much or most of the tiny brown dot stains can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
