Description: SUPER AMAZING MERCHANDISE presents; A rare 1950s re-release UK Quad for the fourth instalment in the Frankenstein film series, The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942). The bright blue background pairs well with the black-and-white imagery of Lon Chaney Jr's portrayal of Frankenstein's Monster. This was the first time the iconic horror character was not portrayed by Boris Karloff, who could not reprise the role due to scheduling conflicts. This style does not come to market very often. The Ghost of Frankenstein is a 1942 American horror film directed by Erle C. Kenton and starring Cedric Hardwicke, Lon Chaney Jr. and Bela Lugosi. It is the fourth film in the Frankenstein series by Universal Pictures, and the follow-up to Son of Frankenstein (1939). The film's plot follows the previous film's: Frankenstein's Monster (Lon Chaney Jr.) and his companion Ygor (Bela Lugosi) are chased out of town. They go to another small town to encourage the younger son of Henry Frankenstein (Cedric Hardwicke) to continue his father's experiments, so that Ygor can have revenge against his enemies and his brain transplanted into the Monster's skull. The film was the first in the series with Chaney portraying the monster and was cast one day after the film was announced by Universal. It began production in December 1941 and finished in January 1942. On its release it received praise as being as strong as the previous films from The Hollywood Reporter and The Motion Picture Herald while it received negative reviews from New York Daily News and The New York Times. 40" x 30" (102 x 76 cm) Condition: Fine+ Unrestored, folded I'M A COLLECTOR SO WILL TAKE CARE WHEN PACKING ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.(others in stock) FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING PLEASE ASK FOR QUOTE.
