Date Sold 10/24/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Six-Sheet Movie Poster (6sh; measures 81" x 81" [206 x 206 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 we have only previously auctioned one example of this six-sheet, and it sold for $2,800 (that example was linenbacked while this example has never been backed)! Also note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good. The poster was attached to a wall with staples or tacks around the edges, and some were roughly removed, causing paper loss. The most significant is in the top center, and there is an area in the right of the top border and in the lower right border, both extending into the background. There is also small paper loss in the girl's neck just below the rope. The poster is creased and rippled throughout, due to exposure to moisture, and there are some faint water stains scattered throughout. The poster is an excellent candidate for restoration, because after linenbacking by a top professional, the poster will display really well, but bear the above in mind before bidding.
