Superb 8 x 10.75 magazine photo removed from a copy of Famous Monsters of Filmland, showing a close-up of Boris Karloff as the monster from the 1939 horror film Son of Frankenstein, signed in blue ballpoint. In fine condition, with moderate signature contrast, and a small hole and tack hole at the top, both of which could easily be matted out. The third entry in Universal Studios' Frankenstein series, Son of Frankenstein was the last to feature Boris Karloff as the Monster. The movie was a critical and commercial success and was aided by the added star power of Basil Rathbone as Baron Wolf von Frankenstein and Bela Lugosi as Ygor. Signed photos of Karloff as his most famous character are exceedingly rare and hugely sought-after by horror fandom.
