Auction History Result 7f205 HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL French 15x31 '59 classic Vincent Price, art of skeleton chasing girl! Date Sold 3/7/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French Movie Poster (measures 15 3/4" x 31 1/2" [40 x 80 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!

Artist: Roger Soubie Important Added Info: 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: good to very good. There are two tack holes in the background at upper center and there is an area of minor separation at the top crossfold (each repaired with small pieces of conservation tape from the back) and there are some pin holes and small tears around the edges of the poster (mostly in the blank borders and also repaired with small pieces of conservation tape from the back). The poster is slightly discolored and there are some creases scattered throughout (mostly along the foldlines from the poster being folded off-center at one time). The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition and it displays pretty well but if one chose to have it restored it would look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
