Redki filmski plakati iz zlatih časov Hollywooda privabljajo zbiratelje z vsega sveta, saj nekateri primerki dosežejo astronomske zneske. Med najbolj iskanimi so plakati za grozljivke, kot sta Drakula (1958) in Frankensteinova nevesta (1935), katerih vrednost ocenjujejo na več deset tisoč evrov.

Toliko denarja za kos papirja? Čeprav se zdi laičnemu opazovalcu cena pretirana, poznavalci v teh ikoničnih delih vidijo neprecenljivo naložbo. Edinstveni primerki na dražbah redno presegajo mejo 34.000 evrov.

Posebno pozornost zbirateljev trenutno priteguje plakat za klasiko Drakula iz leta 1958, v kateri sta blestela Peter Cushing in Christopher Lee. Umetniško delo Billa Wigginsa prikazuje kultni prizor vampirja, ki se pripravlja na napad na Mino (Melissa Stribling). Ob pogledu na plakat vas bo morda spreletel srh – zagotovo pa vas bo osupnila njegova cena, saj je ocenjen na nekaj več kot 35.000 evrov.

Plakat je v izvirnem, nerestavriranem stanju. Ima manjše sledi pregibov, nekaj drobnih luknjic in manjše madeže, vendar so barve še vedno izredno intenzivne – rdeča in rumena skoraj »živita svoje življenje«, kot so zapisali dražitelji in dodali, da prav to še povečuje estetsko vrednost izdelka.

Drugi dragoceni primerki vključujejo plakat za film Horse Feathers iz leta 1932 z brati Marx, ki je ocenjen na 34.000 evrov, ter belgijski plakat za Frankensteinovo nevesto iz leta 1935 z Borisom Karloffom in Elso Lanchester, ocenjen na približno 23.000 evrov.
