Description

Karloff as the sinister cult leader from The Black Cat

Vintage glossy 6.5 x 9.25 photo of Karloff as Hjalmar Poelzig from the 1934 horror film The Black Cat, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "For R. Malmandrier, Sincerely, Boris Karloff.” In fine condition, with trimmed edges. Released in UK cinemas under the title House of Doom, the picture was the first of eight movies to pair Béla Lugosi and Karloff, with the latter playing a Satanist who is famously skinned alive at the movie's conclusion.
