Date Sold 11/12/2020 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The poster has very faint and somewhat spotty discoloration scattered throughout from exposure to moisture, but it is somewhat more noticeable in the blank borders and in a few lighter-colored areas of the art - see our image. There are some pinholes in the corners and some are slightly torn or enlarged in the upper corners. There is tiny separation and paper loss in the upper and lower crossfolds. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that many or most of the very faint stains can be removed chemically and the poster's colors are otherwise pretty vibrant, and after linenbacking with some proper restoration to the defects above the poster will look great (but of course bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.)
