Date Sold 11/3/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 23 3/4" x 41" [60 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 poster has been trimmed and it now measures 23 3/4" x 41" [60 x 104 cm]. Condition: fair. Someone trimmed all of the left and right blank borders, and on the right side it trims around 1/2" into the edge of the image, but on the left side, they trimmed around 1" to 2" of the image, with the greatest trimming occurring near the middle of the left side (because the person did not cut evenly). Obviously, someone could either choose to have an expert restorer replace all of the slight missing area down the right side and the larger missing area down the left side, or they might choose to simply back it as is (because everything trimmed is minor background stuff like part of the tree), or they might have the restorer "square it off" and make the left side as straight as the right side, and only fill in the slight missing part. Please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
