HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL ('59) HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL ('59) Belgian OR search current auctions Auction History Result 9h0541 HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL Belgian 1959 Vincent Price & skeleton with hanging girl, ultra rare! Date Sold 7/11/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 13 3/4" x 18 3/4" [35 x 48 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!

We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 13 3/4" x 18 3/4" [35 x 48 cm]. Also 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: fair. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). It has darkened and has some light creases and rippling throughout. There are MANY pieces of tape on back (to the point that the poster is virtually backed by tape) and some wraps around to the front. There is older tape staining above the title with marker ink transfer and there amateur restoration yellowed tape stains at center. A talented restorer could certainly attempt to "rescue" the poster, but please bear all of this in mind and see our super sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this poster before placing a bid.
