Auction History Result 2p018 HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN linen 1sheet R50 Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., images of best monsters! Date Sold 11/4/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1950 Realart Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had areas of paper loss at each crossfold and it was folded in half an extra time. There were extra creases above and below the top foldline, and there were some tiny areas of paper loss along that foldline and in the top quarter of the center vertical foldline. There was a lesser amount of wear on the other foldlines. There were pinholes, creases, smudges, tears, and some tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. From any reasonable viewing distance, the poster displays nicely, but from close up, you can see signs of the above defects and restoration. I think most collectors would be happy to have this great poster displayed on their wall, and certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration, either with or without re-backing the poster.
