Description

BELA LUGOSI
"BRIDE OF THE MONSTER",
DIRECTED BY ED WOOD,
WITH TOR JOHNSON
One of the MOST desired Lugosi/Wood posters EVER! This Ed Wood movie poster for his notoriously bad film has been restored to it's former glory.
That said, Ed Woods movies, believe it or not, have a strong cult following. The Bride of the Monster being his personal “masterpiece” with the immortal horror legend Bela Lugosi.  Most of you are probably aware that Ed Woods was depicted by Johnny Depp in the academy award winning 1994 movie “Ed Woods”.
Martin Landau
won the academy award for his portrayal of Bela Lugosi.
Seasoned collectors know original posters for this title are often faded to some extent..  This very scarce, vintage 1956 one sheet is in VERY GOOD OR BETTER Condition,
Professionally restored and linen backed, and looks great! Approx 29x43 with the linen backing. Currently framed, but will be sent unframed, rolled.
Bride of the Monster (Filmmakers Releasing, 1956).
One Sheet (27" X 41"). One of director Ed Wood's greatest productions, this was the next to last movie filmed by Bela Lugosi, who played mad scientist Dr. Eric Vornoff. The making of this movie is well-documented in Tim Burton's
Ed Wood
, including the theft of the rubber octopus from Republic Studios (it was originally created for the John Wayne vehicle,
Wake of the Red Witch
). Unfortunately, the motor that operated the tentacles was left behind, which is painfully obvious in the final film. Nevertheless, this is classic Ed Wood, and features two of his greatest stars, Lugosi and former Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson (who was the subject of Lugosi's oft-quoted line, "Don't mind Lobo. He's as harmless as a kitchen"). Paper from the majority of Ed Wood's movies is extremely scarce, and highly sought after by those who appreciate the best in "bad" cinema. This is a very attractive and very desirable poster that will be the pride of any collection of 1950s cult cinema
