Date Sold 6/26/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. Four of the cards are in "very good to fine" condition. The card with the man pointing the gun in the doorway has a V-shaped tear near the center. The card with the girl scared by the old lady has a tape stain and paper loss in the center of the top blank border. The card with Price holding the gun and the woman has paper loss in the top left blank corner, pinholes in the other blank corners, and some horizontal pen marks in the top of the top blank border. The card with the woman scared by the skeleton is in "fair" condition. It has smudges, scratches, and stains scattered diagonally across the center and pinholes and stains around the edges, with a 2" tear in the top center. The other four cards are quite nice (see our images of all the cards before placing a bid on this set). Learn More about condition grades
