Auction History Result 7j0760 SCOTLAND YARD MYSTERY LC 1935 English evil genius turns people into Living Dead, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/22/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1935 Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Scotland Yard Mystery (released in the U.S. in 1935 as "The Living Dead"), the 1933 Thomas Bentley English horror fantasy crime mystery suspense thriller ("From a play by Wallace Geoffrey"; about a Scotland Yard investigator trying to stop an evil genius who has created a serum that makes people appear dead, so they can collect on their life insurance, and then when the serum wears off, they are fine again!) starring Gerald du Maurier (a very distinguished British stage actor who appeared in a handful of silent movies from 1917 to 1920, and in a handful of sound movies in the early to mid 1930s; he is the father of author Daphne du Maurier), George Curzon, Grete Natzler, Belle Chrystall, Leslie Perins, and Frederick Peisley. Note that when this movie was released in the U.S., it was given the far more commercial title of "The Living Dead", but that was certainly deceptive (although the original English title was also deceptive, because there was no mystery to the film, just a suspense thriller!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this scene card! Note that a previous owner of this card glued two pieces of paper to the back of the card, which identify the card on one and the collector's name on the other. Fortunately, those pieces of paper do not affect the front at all, and they could be removed using a product like Bestine. Note that this card has a stamp on the back that indicates it came from the legendary horror/sci-fi collection of Ron Borst (the stamp reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Ronald V. Borst")! 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: fair to good. There are staple holes, creases, tears, and stains around the edges, with a few scuffs and staple holes within the image. The card has two pieces of paper glued to the back (see above), but they do not affect the front. Please look at our super-sized images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this card. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
