Karloff's Autograph
« on: June 04, 2011, 04:41:52 PM »
A great signed original still of Karloff as the Monster from '31's FRANKENSTEIN. What is interesting is that this photo was printed in reverse, as the scar is on the other side of his forehead. Probably printed this way for aesthetic or compositional reasons (either by the studio or photographer himself). From what I read, there are not many signed images of Karloff, as the Monster. This is a beauty of a photograph!

You lucky bastidge, Jeff.
THAT is the face that launched a thousand screams.
Autographed to boot...
Reminded me that I hadn't posted this pic of the 2008 RR that I picked up late last year from French Movie Posters. 
It's their pic (Thanks, Alex!)...

Ted--

WISH this was mine..   :'(   I found the image on another board. In any case, it IS a great vintage still, not a later reprint, that Karloff signed.
