623. Dracula Re-Release one-sheet poster. (Universal, 1931) Producer Carl Laemmle, Jr. changed the history of horror cinema when he hired director Tod Browning to make the first official adaptation to Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula. This was the beginning of Universal Studios' tradition of Gothic horror that reigned triumphant through the 1930s and early 1940s. This was the movie that launched Bela Lugosi's horror movie career and undoubtedly the most influential film version. This one-sheet has a striking image of Lugosi clutching Helen Chandler by the neck. This poster is from the 1947 re-release. Condition: B+; with color touch at folds and minor restoration in lower left ¼ of poster. Colors are vibrant and not faded! On linen. $20000 - $30000
