What is this Frankenstein poster? Emovie is selling a book with this image:

Update:

Ok, found it. This is a German post-war poster:

I believe this is the 1956 German re-release with art by Bruno Rehak.
Peckinpah can probably confirm (or correct) this.

A Belgian for Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. It lacks the typical Imprime En Belgique; on the bottom border, center, it reads: Creation Publicitaire U.I. (U.I. = Universal International).

Such a great image from Bride of Frank. It's too bad that this was never redone by S2. That would have been outstanding!

More FRANKENSTEIN goodness- Spanish OS:

Son Of Frankenstein (Uni-1939); US OS

And interesting use of art embellished photographs on this Spanish herald for the first release of The Bride of Frankenstein:

Laemmle and Universal did some sci-fi, too....

The Mummy (Universal, 1932)

I located this image but there was not a description of its size. Would this be the title lobby card? Or a half sheet?

I believe the spanish is this one, and used the same art as some US trade ad

Thanks, Matias

I managed to track down a page from the original The Mummy pressbook of 1932. Here is a b/w image of the WC:

Interesting, too, Matias, that director James Whale's name is no where to be found on this Spanish OS. $:-\$

Hmmm pretty sure I've seen the window card in full colour before but I just can't remember where (it definitely was not in my poster piles

)

A very nice consolation vs. the US one sheet

It was in Gresham's book. There are a couple of them known to exist.
The other image shown is from a TC, though one of the style half sheets uses the same image I am not aware of any existing.

Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (Realart, 1949 RR); US LC:

To me, this is easily the best Realart LC ever made and easily one of the top 5 Universal scene cards period.
It's the only card from the entire Universal series that pictures two monsters on it (there are a few card with Karloff/Lugosi, but not both as monsters, and there is a card with Strange/Chaney, but Chaney is not in make-up).

And not that anyone asked, but my other top 5 Universal scene cards would include:
Black Cat - Boris and Bela facing off in the map room
Bride of Frankenstein - The monster and the bride together
Invisible Man - Reins confronting Stuart
Dracula - Lugosi about to put the bite to Chandler

The Old Dark House (Universal, 1932); US LC:

The Black Cat (Universal, 1934); US Halfsheet:

CSM · « **Reply #169 on:** February 06, 2013, 09:40:51 PM »

The Old Dark House lobby is especially great because Karloff is a mute in the film. Either a nice accident or someone was thinking...

The Title LC for the 1949 Realart RR of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man.

It used the same art and design as their halfsheet, seen above. The photo of the 2 monsters, locked in battle, in the lower left, is such an iconic image!

And a Spanish herald, for the 1943 release of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, using another photo of the dueling monsters:
