The window cards were made in advance of filming, at a time when W.C. Fields was still going to be Drac.

I thought that bulbous nose looked familiar.  wynk

Just found my sheet of 1997, 32¢ USPS stamps that featured the UNI horror greats. While not posters, any of these renditions would have made an incredible OS, imho.  thumbup

I would have paid those $3000 with a smile in my face (that is, if I had them  ;D)
That's a fantastic poster, and I believe our pretend australian friend will agree.

Great find Jeff!

This just crossed my Tumblr dashboard.
I haven't seen this image in years.
Not sure what year of release, but it's still very cool, eh?

Heritage lists it as an r48 Realart.  Sells for a pretty penny too...
