If you're behind on your gift giving like I always am, here's a nifty little site called Fantamos38000 that sells a wide variety of posters, including a large selection of Italian and Spanish horror-sleaze posters, as well as Hammer studio posters. Find it HERE.
oh man - I love it!
The original Frankenstein is surprisingly short, and there's no character named Igor - Dr. Frankenstein's assistant is named Fritz, I believe.
I'm a big fan. In the scene depicting the "monster" kidnapping Victor's bride-to-be he walks toward her with a leering, suggestive "rrrrrrrrrrrr."
Solid gold.
We should do a whole piece on the high art form of the poster. From the Rock 'N" Roll poster, to the vintage horror poster, to the Soviet-era and German fascist propaganda posters...there's some really tremendous material to be found there.
Great post.
Bride of Frankenstein is even better. James Whale rocks. Speaking of posters, I just purchased a bunch of Soviet propaganda posters as well, they're amazing looking, so I think your idea sounds great.
I've got a book of those Soviet posters, which I regularly refer to in my design classes. Let's get together on this one - it's rich territory.
