Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Realart - 1956
Very Fine / Near MT

American Insert 14" x 36"


The 'Creepers' are after Bud and Lou in this who's who of terrific Ghouls! By the time this picture was made, the careers of Abbott & Costello, one of the greatest comedy teams to ever work in motion pictures were beginning to slump. At the same time, the monster series at Universal was starting to slide as well. A brilliant move on the studio's part was to cast their beloved monsters with their popular comedians in this hilarious spoof! Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Glenn Strange and the voice of Vincent Price were the foils for the famous duo. This poster had light foldlines and small creases that were professionally repaired during the paper-backing process, rendering the flaws virtually undetectable. In fact, the poster presents as Near Mint and does not even look to have ever been folded at all. Many collectors consider the graphics on some of the Universal re-release posters to be superior to those of the originals and this poster supports that theory. A truly beautiful example of this scarce insert that is ready for framing.
