This item:  A PRIME COLLECTABLE An original issue vintage US pressbook for this Hammer / Bela Lugosi movie being the only collaboration between the iconic star and iconic studio. The very large - sized pressbook comprises 8 pages. Contents include exploitation, cast, crew, synopsis, illustrated ads., star biographies and photos as well as articles on the movie.  Not all pages shown in photos here. This is probably the rarest Hammer pressbook offered which houses superb stone litho images to the front and back cover. Clearly in the contents and advertising, Bela Lugosi reigns supreme as he was only a very few years away from his iconic Dracula role(indeed, the Dracula stare is evident in the Lugosi images). A true rarity and top collectable.   At the time of listing no internet site, nor UK dealer had this on offer.  Very Rare
