Auction History Result 6k0281 HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL French 16x32 1959 classic Vincent Price, art of skeleton chasing girl! Date Sold 5/9/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French Movie Poster (measures 15 3/4" x 31 1/2" [40 x 80 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!

Artist: Roger Soubie Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has darkened somewhat. It has pinholes and creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges and there are tiny creases and tears near the top crossfold. Many defects as described above have been repaired with several pieces of conservation tape from the back, and then someone attempted to "touch up" some defects in the darker-colored areas, and they also removed a snipe or tax stamps at lower left but did not further restoration. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
