Chamber of Horrors, the 1966 Hy Averback horror thriller ("The unspeakable vengeance of the crazed 'Baltimore Strangler.'"; "The year's most startling entertainment innovation!"; "A film with many scenes so terrifying, a built-in audio-visual warning system has been devised."; "The Fear Flasher: At the start of certain scenes that many may consider too shocking, a red light will begin its signal on the screen to alert you to the terror ahead."; "The Horror Horn: At the same time the Fear Flasher starts blinking its warning, the Horror Horn will sound the alarm. Precisely at this instant, shut your eyes and hold your ears."; "If you can't take it... You can still see it because the new motion picture Chamber of Horrors has realistically incorporated a built-in audio-visual warning system to shield you from the shattering impact of its terror."; "Because the motion picture 'Chamber of Horrors' has realistically incorporated a built-in audio-visual warning system to shield you from the shattering impact of its terror." "Here's how it works: At the start of certain scenes that many may consider too shocking, a red Fear Flasher will begin its signal on the screen to alert you to the terror ahead. When you hear the Horror Horn, shut your eyes and hold your ears!"; "Because there are many scenes that many will consider too shocking...we have integrated an audio visual warning system into this motion picture to abate your anxiety and tension."; "Story by Ray Russell and Stephen Kandel") starring Cesare Danova, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Laura Devon, Patrice Wymore, Suzy Parker, Tun Tun, Philip Bourneuf, Patrick O'Neal ("as Jason"), and Tony Curtis (in an uncredited role). Note that this movie was very loosely based on the series of killings by the serial killer dubbed "The Boston Strangler", which began in 1962. The major studios at that time did not feel it was appropriate to make a movie about such a distasteful subject, but by 1968, when the studio system had begun to break down, a major movie was made based on it, called "The Boston Strangler", starring Tony Curtis (who had an uncredited role in this movie). Finally, note that the serial killer in this movie was called "Jason", and we would have to think it is no coincidence that the killer in "Friday the 13th" had the same name!

Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this German pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut!
