To all movie poster collectors,
It has come to my attention that there is a group of apparent horror poster
fakes being peddled on the market now.
They are usually all "autographed" by the stars. These are all rather obvious
fraudulent autographs.
The list of titles include the following:
Frankenstein Insert
Dracula Insert
Dracula Half Sheet
Wolf Man insert
Wolf Man half sheet
Phantom of the Opera 1925 Insert
Wizard of Oz half sheet
Wizard of Oz Title Card, Balloon Card and Palace Guards scene.
King Kong Lobby with Wray in tree, Kong and Log and Dead Card with
Brontosaurus, Empire State card
Bride of Frankenstein half sheet style B
Bride of Frankenstein Title lobby and Lobby with Clive, Lancaster, Karloff and
Thesiger.
Frankenstein Title Card and scene card (cliff)
House of Dracula Title Card and four scene cards
Raven Lobby Card with erroneous image from 1940s release card inserted.
London After Midnight Lobbies (3) one with Chaney as Vampire
Mummy's Tomb lobby card
The cards seem to all be rubber stamped with some sort of period bogus stamp
and are on the wrong paper though skillfully done.
So far this is all I am aware of but believe all of these are poor
reproductions with colors significantly misrepresented.
I believe this may be just a partial list.
