Original Universal Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Lambert Hillyer horror classic, DRACULA’S DAUGHTER (1936) starring Otto Kruger, Gloria Holden, Marguerite Churchill, and Edward Van Sloan. In this sequel to the original Dracula, Prof. Van Helsing (Sloan) is in danger of prosecution for the murder of Count Dracula, but a strange and hypnotic woman (Holden) steals the Count’s body and cremates it. Bloodless corpses start appearing in London again, and Hungarian countess Marya Zaleska sees the aid of psychiatrist Jeffrey Garth (Kruger) in freeing herself of a mysterious evil influence. This is a horror film with a strong sexual & lesbian subtext. Holden is wonderful with her exotic Slavic features and hypnotic eyes. She has a tragic aura about her as a vampire who wants to escape her cursed existence. The film was originally to be written and directed by James Whale, but alas his script was so “outrageous” to the producers that he was taken off the project. This wonderfully eerie scene card is paper-backed and in very fine condition. Presents beautifully.
