Bela Lugosi Meets Mother Jones

Bela_cover Professor Kinema just alerted me to another face of Bela Lugosi, this time on the cover of Mother Jones magazine.

Politics aside, I'll simply note the only Dracula who could embody the essence of "the superrrich sucking America dry" is the one and only Bela Lugosi. Someone at Mother Jones is definitely a monsterkid.

Aristocratic and upper crust  evil never looked so rich in tie and tails.

 

 

The Invisible Man Returns (1940) Pressbook

Universal Studios certainly knew how to do pressbooks (campaign manuals) for their horror movies.  They were large, filled with many pages of publicity information, and presented with style. The showmanship pages have some clever ideas to promote the movie. I’ve left out a few of the poster and ad mat pages. (This color copy of the original pressbook is courtesy of Professor Kinema.)
