It's a hot Summer evening and a good time to switch gears, at least for me, so here's a handful of really nice classic Universal monsters lobby cards. Nothing new or original, just a bunch of cool cards in one place together. First off, from 1932 is Boris Karloff in "The Mummy."
Just like the mummy would do, this card kills me!
From 1944, here's a nice card from "The Mummy"s Curse."
Also from 1944 is "The Mummy's Ghost." Both the "Curse" and the "Ghost" featured Lon Chaney Jr. as The Mummy.
This "Frankenstein" lobby card from 1931 is beyond classic!
"The Bride Of Frankenstein" from 1935 is every man's dream. Look at Elsa's hair on the left sidebar. What the Heck!?
This "Werewolf Of London" lobby card from 1935 is awesome. I love the colors and the eerie left sidebar is killer!
Supposedly underway in Florida is a new Universal theme park called "Epic Universe" that is going to feature a Bavarian village like in "Frankenstein," a boat ride with a "Creature From The Black Lagoon" theme, and a lot more. I'm sure "The Wolf Man" will be included too!
These two cards, "The Invisible Ray" from 1936, and......................
..............."The Raven" from 1935 have the same cool composition!
The last one is "Captive Wild Woman" from 1943. I don't know what's up with those two piles of animals, and why does Acquanetta's face looks like it's from the 60's or 70's, not the 40's?
I'll wrap this up with a couple of non-Universal classics like MGM's "Mad Love" starring Peter Lorre in 1935...............
..........................................And this very cool lobby card from the 1937 Disney classic
"Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs."
I'll be back on Saturday with something Special!

Hey, you know Bramwell Fletcher, from THE MUMMY (1932)? "He went for a little walk!"
Bramwell went right on to act in THE MONKEY'S PAW (1933), a simian-themed horror film from the producers of KING KONG, released the same year as KING KONG! It was lost for decades and finally popped up again a few years ago, albeit in a shortened, French-dubbed version.
An amazing rediscovery, that for some reason was little publicized!
Actually one of my favourite quotes from a film.
