One Sheet (27" x 41")
Very Fine on Linen
Universal, 1941

This poster depicting the classic tale of lycanthropy is exceptionally rare. Only two copies have been sold at auction in the past twenty years.And this is a first time offer from PropStore.

This rare poster has been professionally preserved on linen. There was a minor paper loss at the very upper right border and a small V-shaped loss at the outer left border along the center horizontal fold. Touch-ups have been applied to the folds and the bottom two center points, and pinholes were present in each corner. The poster is vibrant in color and displays beautifully.

Despite the absence of the legendary literary sources that other early Universal horror films enjoyed, screenwriter Curt Siodmak still crafted a compelling narrative, essentially establishing the modern werewolf lore. This includes the concept of werewolf transformation due to a bite, the notion of the silver bullet, and the influence of the moon. Makeup artist Jack Pierce once again brought to life one of the most iconic monsters in the Universal Horror collection. With its strong cast and the atmospheric cinematography by Joseph Valentine, The Wolf Man remains a seminal and influential work in the horror genre.
