Auction History Result 5h0008 13 GHOSTS insert 1960 William Castle, cool horror in ILLUSION-O, includes ghost viewer! Date Sold 10/29/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Thirteen Ghosts, the 1960 William Castle haunted house horror thriller ("13 times the Thrills! 13 times the Screams! 13 times the Fun!"; "See the ghosts in ectoplasmic color"; "13 Ghosts in Illusion-O!", which required the use of a 'ghost viewer', which allowed squeamish viewers to block out the ghosts, and thus avoid a potential heart attack; "See the ghosts in ectoplasmic color"; "A ghost for every member of the family!"; "Free! Free! Free! Ghost Viewer"; "Ghost Viewer given to each patron during the chill-n-thrill engagement of 13 Ghosts at this theatre! You can't see the ghosts without a Ghost Viewer!"; "See! See! See!"; "in Illusion-O!"; "Yes, 13 times the entertainment when you use the new ghost-viewer FREE to everyone who sees the movie!"; "Written by Robb White") starring Charles Herbert, Jo Morrow, Martin Milner, Rosemary DeCamp, Donald Woods, Margaret Hamilton, and John Van Dreelen. Note that this movie (like many of William Castle's) had a gimmick where they provided you with a "ghost viewer". You could look through the red part to see the ghosts, or, if you were too scared, you could look through the blue part and then you would not be "terrified" by the ghosts! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this was one more of William Castle's wacky gimmicks! By using the special ghost viewer, you could look through the red part to see the ghosts, or, if you were too scared, you could look through the blue part and then you would not be "terrified" by the ghosts! NORMALLY WHEN WE AUCTION THIS INSERT, THE GHOST VIEWER IS NOT PRESENT, AND A COLLECTOR WOULD NEED TO FIND ONE OF THEM SEPARATELY, BUT IN THIS CASE, THIS INSERT DOES COME WITH A GHOST VIEWER (see our images). Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had some wear on the folds, with some partial extra folds. It had some pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
