Live Poll: Most Expensive Horror Movie Posters Ever Sold on Auction

I do not think that any of these posters is "really worth its price". The Dracula poster you listed is worth 716 221$ CAD. For that price, I could buy a two-storey house, a 41' boat or an island.

If the question was which poster do I prefer, I would prefer the Bride of Frankenstein poster.

@GabrielFox , I think you may have the wrong Dracula poster version depicted in option #4 for the 1938 re-issue.

FYI, scarcity alone doesn't make something valuable, it has to be in-demand or desirable too.

Their scarcity is what makes them valuable, and vintage horror movie posters have consistently sold for the largest amounts at auction.

Plus, the beginning of your introduction is very confusing. You start talking about modern reproductions being readily available, then speak the rarity of vintage originals, like the two are the same thing or are comparable. Vintage movie poster reproductions are just as available and cost the same as modern movie poster reproductions.

FYC, an alternate phrasing.

Today, reproductions of movie posters are readily available for consumers to purchase. However, posters from the first few decades of cinema were produced in limited quantities for promotional use only and disposed of after the theatrical engagement ended. As a result of posters not being kept or collected, very few of these early movie posters still exist today. Among all vintage movie posters, those in the horror genre have consistently sold for the largest amounts at auction due to both their scarcity and desirability. As of 2023, according to New Bond Street Pawnbrokers, these are the ​top 10 most expensive horror movie posters ever sold at auction. Answer recaps are sourced from ​NBST.

From among these most expensive vintage horror posters that sold at auction, which one do you think is really worth its winning bid?

The relevant Frankenstein (1931) poster seems to be this one:
