Date Sold 6/5/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (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. Someone used the back of the poster to advertise another movie ("Daredevils of the Red Circle"), and they painted large red paint letters on a large portion of the back of the poster. The paint bleeds through slightly to the front in the lighter areas. I think it is quite likely that an expert restorer can chemically remove all of the paint from the back, and I do not think it will have a lasting bleed through to the front. I believe that once it is properly linenbacked and restored, the poster will look fantastic, but please do not bid on this great poster unless you have carefully read the above, and carefully studied our super-sized image, and are willing to accept the defects the poster has and pay to have them properly restored!
