film starring Bela Lugosi and "Frankenstein's Revenge" features images from the
classic 1931 film starring Boris Karloff. Each film is missing six double-sided
cards for a total of 12 lost images. Since films are cranked in a flip book
style, these missing images are barely noticeable. Missing from set are #17/18,
31/32, 33/34, 39/40, 49/50, 125/126. These flip cards have moderate scattered

sticker w/text "Horrorscope" written between wings. Sticker has shifted 1/8"
off original mounting area, scattered edge wear and some nicks. Viewer is VG.
Ad is Exc. Only example we've ever offered. One of the most sought-after
monster items of the 1960s.
