Auction History Result 7j1087 NIGHT OF TERROR WC 1933 creepy Hindu servant Bela Lugosi by knife & Sally Blane, ultra rare! Date Sold 2/2/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 13" x 16" [33 x 41 cm]) (Learn More) Night of Terror, the 1933 Benjamin Stoloff spooky house murder mystery thriller ("Horror in a house of mystery"; the old story of a group of relatives called to a spooky old house where the will of a rich man is read, and they must spend the night there, and one by one they are killed off!; it has a really wacky ending where the killer is revealed at the end, and he turns to the audience and he threatens Them with death if they reveal the ending to people who have not yet seen the movie!) starring Bela Lugosi (billed as "Bela 'Dracula' Lugosi"), Sally Blane, Wallace Ford, Tully Marshall, George Meeker, and Gertrude Michaels. Note that based on the advertising and billing of this movie, you would surely think that Bela Lugosi was not only the star of the movie, but was certainly the crazed killer. But actually, he played a pretty minor role as the creepy Hindu servant! Obviously, Columbia simply hired him for his star power, and shamelessly deceived moviegoers with incredibly false advertising. Also, note that this title was reused in 1942 when the 1937 movie "Love From a Stranger" was re-released under this title, but the two movies have nothing in common. 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 ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a glass slide and a few stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this window card! Note that this window card has much light staining (see our image). Because the staining is significant, but can be hard to see from the front of the card, we also photographed the back of the card as well as the front, because sometimes the staining shows better on the back, and that will let bidders better know what restoration this card needs. We didn't do this on all the window cards we are currently auctioning, just ones where we thought seeing the back would be helpful, like this one. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 13" x 16" [33 x 41 cm]. Condition: poor to fair. The card was found in the back of a frame where it had been used as a backing board for a picture (many framers in the 1920s and 1930s would use window cards for this purpose, and they would trim them to the size of the frame, not caring that they were cutting into the image!). In this case, the trimming, which was to 13" x 16" [33 x 41 cm], affects the right and top of the card, and you can see what is missing by looking at our image. Since most of the title, image, and credits remain, I would think many people could display this card as is, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
