An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Return of the Vampire, the 1943 Lew Landers werewolf vampire monster horror thriller ("Beauty at the mercy of a Monster!"; "Man? Or Monster? Or Both?"; "Terrifying! Paralyzing! Horrifying!"; about an English family who thought they rid themselves of a vampire, but during World War II, German bombs free the monster; it reclaims the soul of its former wolfman servant and plots to take revenge on the family) starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as the Vampire), Frieda Inescort, Miles Mander, Matt Willis (as the werewolf), and Nina Foch. Note that Columbia would have loved to refer to Bela Lugosi's character as "Dracula", but Universal owned the rights to the character, so they could only refer to him as "the vampire", and he was named "Armand Tesla" (and Matt Willis plays Tesla's werewolf servant!).

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster is EXTREMELY rare! We have auctioned a few first release posters and lobby cards from this movie, but we have NEVER auctioned a first release one-sheet before!

Condition: good to very good. The poster has some pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges, and tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds. There is a long diagonal crease (with creasing next to it) starting in Lugosi's mouth and running down into the title. The poster has never had any sort of tape or restoration. After a simple linenbacking by a talented professional, this poster will look wonderful, and there will only be the slightest need of paint restoration within the image!
