Frankenstein - The lost poster

Description

Okay, how do I explain this one?
As many of you may know, I am a huge fan of Bela Lugosi, famous for portraying count Dracula, but did you know he was supposed to play the Frankenstein monster too? He was set to star in the film, and Universal Studios quickly came up with this poster, and it has fascinated me for a veeery long time.

It's such a strange picture. Why is the monster 30 feet tall? Why is he shooting lasers out of his eyes? And why is he carrying the doctor as if he he was Fay Wray! But it's very detailed, and nicely made. I only wish I knew who made it! As I kept staring at the poster, I wanted to see what it looked like without the title and the infobox, so I started to paint over them. Then i removed the lightening bolts and the lasers, and here is the result.

What do you think?

one of the most interesting looking posters ever. I really want to see that make-up test footage they did with Bela Lugosi.
