Six Sheet (78" x 81") ;
Fine+ on Linen
Universal-International, 1948

The beloved comedy duo of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello encounters Universal's classic monsters in this spectacular large-format poster from the ever-popular horror comedy. The poster is printed on four sheets and has been professionally linen-backed, with touch-ups done to the folds to address general wear. There has been sporadic airbrushing in some parts of the title and background to correct tears and creases, as well as within the borders to fix edge tears of varying sizes. One tear on the bottom border has opened slightly, resulting in a light lift. This six sheet poster presents a magnificent display, featuring outstanding images of Universal's classic monsters as portrayed by Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr., and Glenn Strange. It is known that several reproductions were produced of this poster, this copy is guaranteed authentic and original.

The first movie to team the '40s double act Bud Abbott and Lou Costello with Universal's monsters - in this case, Dracula (Bela Lugosi), the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.), and Frankenstein's Monster (Glenn Strange). It proved a huge hit, and four more monster crossover films followed.
