This is an example of a series of movie cards put out in France. I have no idea how many different ones were made, I've just saved photos of those cards made for genre movies!
Boris Karloff, born William Henry Pratt on November 23, 1887 in Camberwell, London, England, UK. Played the Monster in Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Son of Frankenstein, and also appeared in House of Frankenstein and Frankenstein 1970!
The one on the left is obviously supposed to be just close enough to the Universal Monster to get the kids interested in it, but enough different to keep the lawyers away!
The Blog of Frankenstein is your daily destination for vintage Frankenstein-related goodies, including posters, lobby cards, stills, toys, and other coolness! And yes, I know that Frankenstein was the doctor, and not the monster... but the term has become such common use thanks to toys and the like over the years that I don't have a problem sometimes using "Frankenstein" to refer to the monster.
I have been a Navy journalist, word processor, graphic designer, medical assisting student, cook, and truck driver, and am currently an eBay seller as well as an employee at a big retail store. I have been and always will be into comics, sf, tv, cartoons, monsters, oldies rock, and lots of other stuff.
