Why's It Valuable?
The 1931 Frankenstein film was a hit with audiences and critics alike. The movie launched a series (Frankenstein) of sequels and is considered to be an iconic horror film.
Early monster and horror film memorabilia has tremendous popularity (worldwide). Anytime there's an item wanted by a lot of collectors, with a scarce-supply. There's a tendency for prices to go high. Which is likely the reason this poster soared past its original $100,000 - $200,000 estimate.
