HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN
FAKE US ONE SHEET, universal horror, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, John Carradine, J. Carrol Naish
Here we see a close up shot of the fine print at bottom center in the margin. We can see that the print is "bled-out" so as to be unreadable, and that the unrestored paper around the print (just visible between all of the airbrush paint) has been printed by an ink jet printer.
Here we see the "i" in the word "Directed" as it appears in the lower/center/left portion of the poster. Within the letters themselves we should see naked, fibrous paper, but instead we see yellow, red, and blue dots created by an ink-jet printer.
Here a shot taken from the "O" in the word "HOUSE" as it appears in the main title. Here we should see naked, fibrous papers, instead we see the yellow and red patterns created by an ink jet printer.
Here we see the white of the Wolfman's eye as it appears in the lower left quadrant of the poster. Again we can clearly see the patterns of red and yellow dots created by an ink jet printer.
