"Remember what happened to the exploring party that discovered Tutankhamen's remains,
See why each one of them died a mysterious death put upon them by an ancient curse..."
COOL!

I want to stabilize them.. Check out all the acid browning around the edges... Just brighten them up and stabilize them. Plus these guys are super fragile. If you pick them up too rough they crack... These are from the time of the films release... from photoplays, etc...

The Rear Window image is quite unique and actually nicely put together. Plus Grace is nicely presented in this one.

In June 1934, in-house artist for Universal, Fred Kulz, created the first color art for the upcoming Bride of Frankenstein, basically with nothing to go on, except a title.

Kulz was the same artist who created this promotional art for Frankenstein, in early 1931, while Bela Lugosi was still attached to the project:

A 1935 ad that ran in Film Daily, for a proposed Karloff film, to be shot in England, entitled, DR. NICOLA. However, it was shelved and never made.

Not exactly Jeff, Dr Nicola was put-a-side, But Boris still went back to the U.K. as he was contracted to do a picture, but the British Horror film ban was starting, they didn't want to make a film they would lose money on. So the film changed to "The Man who changed his Mind" or "The Man who lived again" which was the other title of it.... it was more of a Sci-fi/thriller picture, and wouldn't be affected by the U.K. Horror film Ban.

Wow, that would have made a helluva 1-sheet!

Right Paul, Karloff did still go to the UK and instead was recast and made THE MAN WHO CHANGED HIS MIND directed by Robert Stevenson and released in 1936.
What is interesting is that DR NICOLA (the character) was described as similar to Dr Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes-- only a much badder individual, involved in the occult, interest in world domination and immortality. So, maybe the gruesome elements of the story were too much, if this ban was happening? It doesnt sound like Nicola was a horror story or film, in the typical sense, but maybe had elements deemed too harsh or horrific.
It's too bad, as the Nicola series of books were popular.

Agree with you on that, Matt. It's too bad it was printed in B/W in the Universal Magazine. Would be something to see in color, wouldn't it?

Another cool ad, also from Film Daily, for THE CLAIRVOYANT - note the tag line, referencing The Invisible Man ;)

A very cool, color trade ad from Universal's 1942 Exhibitor's book, in which Lon Chaney Jr is touted to play the roles of both the Frankenstein monster and the Larry Talbot/wolf man, in FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN (1943)

Great ad Jeff, Lon was going to, and wanted to play both rolls, but time issues in make-up, and other practicality's, mostly financial stopped it happening. It's a film I would love to see all the footage that was cut, re-instated... one does hope it will surface from some source, but I fear it's gone for ever... :'(
-
Stumbled upon this image on the web...
Looks to be a trade advert of some kind.

There were also the technical aspects such as the split screen photography, that was an issue and the use of suitable doubles also came into play. As it was, the final "battle" scenes between the monster and wolf man were all done by stunt doubles, with closeup inserts of Lugosi and Chaney snarling at each other edited in.
Paul, what cut footage are you referring to? Sequences/scenes from the Lugosi/Chaney version that were edited out of the first cut?
When you think about all of the edited scenes from these early films, or, the makeup tests that were shot of Lugosi as the monster for FRANKENSTEIN, or all of the deleted footage from the first cut of 1925's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (all of it most likely gone forever), it does make one feel a bit :'(. Agreed.

I wonder if copies of either of these 2, referenced 1931 trailers for FRANKENSTEIN still exist anywhere. This ad is from the Dec 2, 1931 trade newspaper, Film Daily:
