Dracula Poster for $1.2 Million
Call me uninformed, but I had no idea that vampire memorabilia could be worth over a million dollars. On eBay today, one auctioneer is selling a large poster promoting 1931's Dracula (with Bela Lugosi) for a whopping $1,200,000. If you're a B-movie filmmaker, you could make three films with that kind of money.
Apparently, this one-sheet is one of only two known examples in the world. As you look at it, Lugosi at once looks like he's laughing, crazed. and angry. Quite a feat. And it is, after all, the ultra-cool "story of the strangest passion the world has ever known." Still, that's a lot of cash to pay? Would you buy it if you had the money? Or is it just too much of an extravagance?
If I had the cash, you could be that would be hanging in my home theatre.
But alas, I don't have that kind of cash, so it's not hanging in my home theatre. Wait, I don't even have a home theatre.
:(
I prefer this one to the one that's been printed on various posters...why can't they do this as a poster print?
i kind of wish i had it, too. joanna, it's probably so rare that no one's been able to get hold of it to make a poster.
