Zustand: Very Good. Black and white press photograph, promotional device resembling lobby card. 8'' x 10''. In Very Good condition. In Victorian London, Edward Styles is accused of being the notorious Haymarket Strangler, the brutal killer of five women. Twenty years after he is tried and executed for these crimes James Rankin (…Karloff), a novelist and social reformer, launches an investigation to prove that Styles is innocent. His search for clues leads him first to the sleazy Judas Hole music hall, where the Strangler picked his victims from the resident can-can dancers and loose women, and then to the prison cemetery of Newgate where Styles was buried - in order to exhume his body. When the killings start again, Rankin's theory seems to be vindicated. However his growing obsession with the case signals a most unwelcome revelation as to the true identity of the murderer. Member of the P.B.F.A. CINEMA [Front of House Press Photograph].

Vintage reference photograph from the 1958 film, showing an outraged actress Vera Day as someone pours champagne down her dress. Mimeo snipe on the verso. From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah. Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his super…stars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A man researching a long-dead serial killer becomes possessed by the spirit of the murderer. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with annotation in manuscript ink on the top margin of the recto, and faint horizontal crease on the upper portion of the photograph.
