A vintage illustrated movie poster for “The Dollmaker’s Funeral,” drawn in Edward Gorey’s cross-hatched Gothic style with a palette of black, white, and blood red. At the center, a coffin holds the body of Ernst Vogel, the dollmaker, surrounded by rows of eerie, wide-eyed dolls seated stiffly in the decaying manor. A mourner in a dark coat and hat holds a lantern, casting an ominous glow. In the foreground, a small doll-like girl clutches a red mask, staring directly at the viewer. The tagline across the top reads: “WILL YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF AMONG THE DOLLS?” At the bottom, the title and credits appear in bold type: “The Dollmaker’s Funeral – An Animated Gothic Thriller – Alfred Hitchcock & Edward Gorey – Music by Bernard Herrmann – Not Recommended for the Young or the Faint of Heart.”
