Larger pic of the 1938rr coming up at HA auction:

The studio decided to get a bit creative with their first reissue of Dracula, and issued the film with green tinting on some of the prints. To mirror the green tinted prints, the studio issued a one sheet that used the same dark greens and black, giving the headshot of Lugosi a very menacing pose. The image of Lugosi is as classic as it gets- and is incredibly similar to the original style A one sheet.

This same copy (Provenance; The Latrobe Collection, The Nicolas Cage Collection) was last sold, in November of 2008, at HA's Sig auction. It realized $33,460.00, inc. the BP.

Flip time.

And it looks like they air-brushed it with a whole new shade of green!

Bela's grown more green with envy since 2008.
