Despite the inaccuracy in the portrayal of the Wolf Man, I've always liked the poster to "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man"! More after the jump!
This Yugoslavian poster for the movie seems to think the Wolf Man is the real star!
"Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed" poster!
The German poster is more appealing to me than the US/UK one, but I haven't decided exactly why!
On the other hand, I think the Italian poster appeals to me just because it's so different!
The Spanish "Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed" poster comes off as more weird than wonderful to me...
Speaking of weird... I don't believe I'd ever heard of this one before!
Can you possibly guess what monster movie this Italian poster is for? If you can, you're either a Kaiju expert, or read the Go-Go Godzilla blog: It's for Gamera Vs. Barugon!
The Spanish poster for "Gamera Vs. Barugon" is must easier to recognize, eh?
Italian poster for "Gamera Vs. Viras"!
Another Italian "Gamera Vs. Viras" poster!
Ah, now that I think about it, I think these are actually "photobustas," the equivalent to a lobby card!
Here's some Gappa photobustas:
Always unusual to find Italian giant monster movies that only feature the monsters in the movies they're promoting, eh?
Here's the Spanish "Gappa" poster!
And here's a still!
Next week, we'll start things off with "Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster"!

The greatest part of that painting for Frankenstein meets the Wolf Man is the frozen moment before they are going to clobber each other.
ReplyDeleteI mean...Frankenstein's Monster is about to give the Wolf Man a knuckle sandwich...which doesn't happen in the movie sadly.
I've always been a fan of the Wolf Man, first poster I ever hung up...from Sugar Crisps I believe, and I still think the Wolf Man could take the Frankenstein Monster in a fight. :)
