A Matted Autographed Original Pencil Drawing (drawing measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; entire display measures 14" x 20") (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!

Artist: Glen Eisner Important Added Info: Note that this original pencil drawing (one of nine similar pencil drawings we are currently auctioning in nine separate auctions) has been personally autographed (signed) by by the artist, Glen Eisner! Mr. Eisner has been working in film and television for over 35 years. Both in the horror field and other fields. He is known not only for his art, but for sculptures that he creates for use in making three-dimensional characters in horror films, and he teaches a college class called "Sculpture for 3-D Artists", where students build sculptures with aluminum wire and clay. This original drawing shows characters from this movie, and we don't know exactly under what circumstances it was created, but we think it is likely a private commission that he did for our consignor, who sadly is no longer with us, so he can't tell us the story behind it. It has been nicely matted, and is ready to frame and display on the new owner's wall! Condition: very good to fine. The drawing has been nicely matted (see our images).
