Hi, I recently bought a lot of store promotional items and these 2 were in here. The poster without the cut out is 4 panels and huge, probably around 6 feet. The other is slightly smaller and more of a cardboard material. They both have some wear, but overall good condition. Does anyone have more info or potentially how much it's worth? I may sell one, and want to offer st a fair price. The links to the pics are below. Thanks!

Welcome to the UMA, dj__nat ! :)
Looks like they are selling the video tapes, so they're probably from the '90s.
These were used in Blockbuster stores in 1999 to promote the DVD release of the Universal Monster films. These were on the walls above the video shelves. They also had full-size cardboard standees that matched these that I own. In fact, I purchased them from a very kind member here. They are worth what someone is willing to pay. No set value. You really don't see these appear too often, so it's hard to tell what a good range would be.
I'd guess around $400. I have them all - the stand-ups go for
anywhere between $125 - $250.

Those look like VHS boxes on the poster, but I think the reissued VHS and 1st DVDs both came out at the same time with that box art.

They did indeed come out at the same time with the same art. Most people didn't own DVD players in 1999, so the VHS were still widely promoted. The Wolf Man standee, which I can see from my position right now, appears to be holding a VHS box too. It's just easier to call these DVD promos to differentiate them from the early '90s VHS promos. ;D
I got all the standees with this purchase, except for Creature sadly. They are so great! I got a funny standee in this purchase of Dracula drinking pepsi too.
