30" x 40"
Very Good Rolled
Universal-International, 1958

This is a very rare format poster for Hammer Film's first version of the Dracula story. This format, along with the larger 40" x 60" poster, was distributed in far fewer quantities than the one sheets.

Christopher Lee cemented his reputation as a leading British horror star in Hammer Film's classic 1958 Technicolor version of Bram Stoker's classic novel directed by Terence Fisher. This example of the scarce 30" x 40" poster is rolled and displays sporadic horizontal folds, border and edge wear with pinholes, creases, small tears and smudges, and sporadic crimping and creases in the image area. The colors are fresh and vibrant and the film's horror aspect is conveyed by the use of red and green for background colors. Also present is the Sign Painter's Union stamp in lower border which most of these format posters display. This format is very scarce on this important and highly-acclaimed Hammer Horror film.

The first film in the series of gothic Hammer Horror films starring Christopher Lee as Count Dracula, "Horror of Dracula" has become iconic thanks to Lee's dark and brooding sexuality as the famous bloodsucker.
