Rare Dracula Poster Sells Big

Recently a bunch of incredibly rare movie posters from the early 1930′s were discovered in Pennsylvania that brought in a ton of dough at an auction. The most sought after poster however, was this Dracula one-sheet from 1931. This is only one of four that are known to be in existence and sold for $143,400! This wonderful painted piece has the one and only Bela Lugosi as Dracula with the unforgettable tag line:

“The story of the strangest passion the world has ever known!”

I would do horrible things to have something like that hanging on my wall. Check it out!

I enjoy life, living comes so naturally to me; its a precious gift like boobs… or rockets. I honestly believe that if you were ever attacked by a gorilla that you should just sit back and relax while you enjoy the once in a life time feeling of having each of your limbs ripped off.

        I’m a huge posterphile and something like that makes me wish I had an infinite money supply (and wall space).

    …let’s see…ten….twenty-five….forty-five….one…..two….Two dollars….almost got it!!

    Seriously, it’s a beautiful poster. As for the price I think you have to be immortal to be able to earn enough money for it.
