Description

The Body Snatcher (RKO, 1945). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi join forces once again for this RKO horror classic, loosely based on a story by Robert Louis Stevenson. Val Lewton, producer of such cult classics as Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie, helped adapt the screenplay with Robert Wise directing. Dr. Wolfe MacFarlane (Henry Daniell) is a surgeon experimenting on corpses, dug up by his henchman John Gray (Karloff). With its ghoulish artwork of Karloff, this terrific one sheet will make a prized possession for any horror buff. Touchup was applied to pinholes in the corners, a small chip in the top border, fold wear, and small bits of paper loss in the background. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
