Professor Kinema pulled out a Xerox copy, buried deeply in his archives, of this pressbook for The Ghost of Frankenstein. The movie stills in the copy didn't scan well, but overall you will find this a treat, especially when you consider how difficult it is to find this pressbook, and the cost when you do. (Note: I'm not sure if this copy contains all of the pages in the original pressbook.)
What piqued my interest the most, however, is the wartime publiclity angle on page 7. Will the Nazi Frankenstein Monster Follow the Famous Legend and Destroy Its Makers, timely monster contest.
Cash in on the times with a patriotic contest calling for letters stating how and when entrants think the Frankenstein Monster created by the Axis and now endangering the world will turn on its Nazi makers just as the screen monster in "The Ghost of Frankenstein" turns and destroys its creator.
