Date Sold 5/9/2023 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 is one of a collection of seven lesser condition one-sheets from "better" movies that we were consigned. The person who owned them intended to get them linenbacked, and properly restored, but circumstances caused them to never get around to doing that, so we are auctioning them here (in seven separate auctions). Certainly, this poster, after proper restoration will display really well, but bear its defects in mind before bidding. Condition: fair to good. The poster was folded in half an extra time but it has only minor wear on the folds. It has many pinholes and stains around the edges with some tape stains, tiny tears and paper loss in parts of the border. It has some white stain in the lower left, mostly in the title and credits. The poster can absolutely be restored, but bear the above in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
