House of Dracula

N.p. N.p., Circa 1945. Two vintage borderless publicity photographs from the 1945 film, one showing actor Glenn Strange in costume as Frankenstein's monster, the other showing Strange with Onslow Stevens. Second photograph with annotations in manuscript ink on the verso.

The last entry in Universal's famed "monsters" canon, a direct sequel to 1944's "House of Frankenstein," which appropriately hosted Universal's "big three" monsters, all in Dracula's house, including the Prince of Darkness himself (Carradine), the Wolf Man (Chaney Jr.), and Frankenstein (Glenn Strange), along with the requisite mad scientist (Onslow Stevens) and hunchbacked assistant (Jane Adams).

From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.

Approximately 7 x 9 inches, trimmed irregularly. Very Good plus, one with adhesive residue on the verso.
