Description

How to Make a Monster (American International, 1958). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). An amusingly metatextual film, this is the story of Pete (Robert H. Harris), a long-time make-up artist for American International, who is unceremoniously sacked from his position. His mind now unhinged, he decides to exact revenge on the studio that wronged him, by hypnotizing a pair of actors into believing that they are the monsters they portrayed in films, and urging them to commit a string of gruesome murders on the lot. Gary Clarke plays the "Teenage Werewolf," while Gary Conway is the "Teenage Frankenstein," reprising the role he played in 1957's I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, his film debut. This eye-catching half sheet has an extra crease in the bottom border, a scuff in the left side, light fold wear, and light smudging in the left border, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. Folded, Very Fine.
