Description

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (Universal, 1943). One Sheet (27" X 40.5").
Always a hot item for collectors, this one sheet from the Universal horror canon is hard to beat. Continuing with the immensely popular Universal horror films, audiences were thrilled by two iconic monsters; Lon Chaney Jr. returned as the Wolf Man, and Bela Lugosi took his turn as Frankenstein's Monster. Chaney is brought back from the dead by grave robbers. He then sets out to find the Monster, who he wants to dig up Frankenstein's original notes, in order to kill himself permanently. Maria Ouspenskaya also returns in her gypsy role as Maleva, with Patric Knowles and Ilona Massey co-starring as Dr. Mannering and Baroness Frankenstein. It's no wonder horror fans love this poster, with the two monsters battling it out in ghoulish greens and blues, perfectly juxtaposed with the ethereal Ms. Massey lounging in the lower left corner. The poster has been trimmed 1/2" at the top, and minimal touchup has been applied to chips and tears at the folds and in the borders, and pinholes in the borders. A small bit of red paint can be seen in the top left border, and the linen has been trimmed to edge of the poster. Fine+ on Linen.
