Son of Frankenstein vintage press photos building the Sulfur Pit

Description: Lot of 5 vintage 8x10 low-resolution copy stills depicting the building and shooting of the sulfur pit that appears in the 1939 Universal horror classic Son of Frankenstein. The backs of 4 have explanatory text that was probably the cutline under the original photo. You can see that these copy photos were made by blowing up much smaller pictures which must have appeared in a book or magazine, so they have lost a lot of resolution. So, not great quality but of great interest to the SOF fan. One shows the stuntman in Monster makeup being helped out of the pit after they shot the monster's fall. The photo text says it's Karloff but we know better. These copies are probably from the 1960s-1970s, and are from the collection of noted collector and early fanzine publisher John Parnum. Sturdy secure shipping is $7.99. See my other listings for vintage sci-fi and horror posters and stills, Famous Monsters magazines, golden age comics, and other cool stuff. I will combine shipping where I can IF you request a combined invoice after putting items in your cart and committing to buy. If you pay for items individually I might be able to give you a shipping refund after the fact but it will be less since I get charged commission on your shipping fees. Thanks for looking! See below for still types and descriptions. Note that still sizes can vary a bit. 8x10 is the standard, but 7.75 x 9.75 or thereabouts is common. I always note if a still has been noticeably trimmed. Original: a studio-made still from the time of original release of the film, created for theater display or press release use. Some originals have the movie title and some credits, others have just copyright and permission for press use, still others have no text. Rerelease: an original studio-made still created for a later release of the film. Restrike: A copy made using an original negative. Restrikes were made both by studios, sometimes for rerelease or tv promo use, and also have been made by collectors and dealers who acquired original negatives.Copy Photo: a photo made by photographing an original photo to make a new negative which is then printed. Copy photos often have less sharp focus than originals and restrikes, and you can sometimes see the border of the original photo on the far edges. Any still with Kodak paper watermarks on the reverse is either a restrike or a copy photoDigital Copy: a recent copy still printed with an inkjet printer. I DO NOT SELL DIGITAL COPIES
