Date Sold 6/13/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) House on Haunted Hill (some stills identify the movie as "House of Haunted Hill" but a collector tells us that he saw the film on the opening weekend and it was titled "House on Haunted Hill"), the 1959 William Castle haunted house horror thriller ("First film with the amazing new wonder Emergo [specially installed for this engagement] The thrills fly right into the audience!"; "The 13 greatest shocks of all time! Consult your doctor! Bring your seat belts! See it with someone with warm hands!") starring Vincent Price, Carol Ohmart, Richard Long, Alan Marshal, Elisha Cook Jr., Carolyn Craig, Julie Mitchum, and Leona Anderson. Note that the "gimmick" for this movie (Emergo) described above consisted of an actual fake skeleton that was pulled out from above the screen on a wire and dragged across the audience when the skeleton on the movie comes out of its box, and then it is reeled back in across the audience, making two trips. This required special equipment, and apparently many theaters chose not to install it, because the pressbook has special ads for it only for theaters that have the Emergo equipment. We have read that some of the theaters that DID install the equipment had it uninstalled, once teen boys learned of it, because they would come to the showings with slingshots and damage the skeleton with rocks or BBs!

Important Added Info: Note that this art is often attributed to Reynold Brown but we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone has definitive evidence as to who created the art, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. The poster was exposed to moisture at one time and it has light rippling throughout with some slight discoloration mostly at upper left and in a few portions of the lower quarter (but it is mostly only noticeable in light-colored areas and the blank borders). It has a few creases and small tears along portions of the upper blank border and a few creases along the folds. The poster otherwise is "all there" and retains much of its original color, and this is the type of poster that will respond quite well to linenbacking to address the rippling, after which it will look fantastic!
