"Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein", 1948
Original Vintage Lobby Card movie poster (11x14")
Starring Abbott and Costello, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney and Glenn Strange

After 30 years of collecting this is only the second time we have acquired the most prized lobby card from this horror-comedy classic. (and the first one sold within a few days for $2500 about 5 years ago)   The ultimate scene, Bela Lugosi uses his powers on Lou Costello. Great close-up, great colors. This card has it all! Excellent condition, has been professionally paper-backed.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal International, 1948). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This is the long sought for card # 6 from the lobby set featuring Dracula (Bela Lugosi) hypnotizing Wilbur (Lou Costello) in a key scene from a film that Reader's Digest still lists as one of the 100 Funniest Movies of All Time. This was the only time Lugosi would reprise the Dracula character in a sustained film role (1933's gag cameo in Hollywood on Parade doesn't count!). And it was the first of the funny comedy duo's meetings with Universal classic horror characters. The card has been professionally backed on masa paper and touched up beautifully and the card appears as if just printed. There were pinholes in three corners, a small tear in the top border, a mild bottom left corner bend, and a chip in the top right corner.
