Sign In to see what this sold for

494. The Wolf Man half-sheet poster. (Universal, 1941) Lon Chaney, Jr. finally emerged from the shadow of his famous father in this classic Universal monster movie, one of the slickest and best of the era. The combination of a tight script by Curt Siodmak, a fine cast and the genius of Jack Pierce's make-up make this a classic to watch over and over. This half-sheet had signs of heavy handling wear and fold wear. Outstanding unfaded colors, the poster has had numerous tears and creases on the surface that have been repaired; some color touch. Tape was removed from the backside which has left staining and tape lift marks. Expert restoration with a thin layer of Japanese tissue on back. Overall, in fine condition. $15,000 - $20,000
