Scarce and fantastic typed 1944 letter-- sent the year of Weird Woman-- on an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of tan Universal Pictures Company, Inc., stationery to a soldier returning from service in World War II, boldly signed in black fountain pen. Two mailing folds and light wear to the edges; otherwise, in fine condition for its age and the only example of his autograph dating to his horror movie heyday we have ever encountered. Leading B-horror, sci-fi, fantasy, crime, and adventure flick director Reginald Le Borg is remembered for gems like Calling Dr. Death (1943), Weird Woman (1944), Jungle Woman (1944), The Mummy's Ghost (1944), Dead Man's Eyes (1944), Bad Blonde (1953), Sins of Jezebel (1953), The Black Sleep (1956), Voodoo Island (1957), War Drums (1957), Deadly Duo (1962), Diary of a Madman (1963), House of the Black Death (1965), The Mummy's Ghost (1966), and So Evil My Sister (1966).
