Rare ‘Dracula’ poster auctioned for record-breaking $525,000!

Vampires have been multi-million dollar businesses for sure, but this rare ‘Dracula’ film poster broke auction records by selling for $525,900—becoming the most expensive film poster ever sold. Previously owned by the family of longtime cinematographer and photographer George J. Mitchell Jr. since the 1950’s, the poster is still in mint condition. The auction was held by Dallas-based Heritage House and the poster is one of the only two of its kind to be left in the world. It displays the face of Bela Lugosi on the front, against a classic blue background that is typically representative of the film era that it belongs to.
