Original The Hunchback of Notre Dame Movie Posters

The Hunchback of Notre Dame movie posters span the most celebrated adaptations of Victor Hugo's novel — original theatrical materials from the 1923 Lon Chaney silent, the 1939 Charles Laughton version, and the 1996 Disney animated production, each campaign reflecting the distinct visual demands of its era. The most celebrated versions include the 1923 silent film starring Lon Chaney in one of his most famous makeup creations, the 1939 RKO production starring Charles Laughton in an acclaimed dramatic performance opposite Maureen O'Hara, and subsequent adaptations including the 1956 French production and Disney's 1996 animated musical. Shop original theatrical materials from these landmark adaptations. Lon Chaney's 1923 portrayal of Quasimodo represents one of silent cinema's great character performances, achieved through an extraordinarily painful physical transformation created by the actor himself. Charles Laughton's 1939 version brought enormous emotional depth to the character and remains one of the most beloved Hollywood productions of its decade. Each successive adaptation has found new dimensions in Hugo's story of physical difference, social cruelty, and unrequited love. Original theatrical materials from the 1923 and 1939 productions are among the most historically significant in cinema collecting. Silent era materials are genuinely rare in any condition, and the 1939 RKO release generated a wide range of lobby cards and one-sheets now difficult to source in the fine condition that serious collectors require. Later adaptation materials represent more accessible entry points into this enduring subject. Shop our Drama and Horror collections for related materials.
