Date Sold 4/16/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked 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 never before auctioned this wonderful six-sheet, which will display fantastically on its new owner's wall! Also note that this art is often attributed to Reynold Brown but we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone has definitive evidence as to who created the art, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The sections of the poster were once taped together, and there were some light brown tape stains on those seams, but they mostly show in the blank borders, although a few show in the edges of the seams. There is an area of white paint in the lower left blank border, where someone covered a stain, and two small areas of white paint in the center of the bottom border, where someone covered a tape stain. Other than the above tape stains, the poster only had minor fold wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster and mostly left the tape stains described above alone, except for the three areas of white paint described above in the blank border. I would think that the vast majority of collectors would be quite happy to display this wonderful and ultra rare poster exactly as it is, or certainly, a restorer could touch up the exact areas where there is some visible tape staining on seams between sections. But from any normal viewing distance, all people will see is this wonderful poster! Learn More about condition grades
