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 this is one of 41 "faux" lobby card sets we were consigned, which we are auctioning in 41 separate auctions! WHAT ARE THESE? We were consigned 68 similar faux lobby sets (but entirely different images and titles), which were created in 2021 by a long time collector who (like so many of us) chose to stay home that year a lot due to Covid, and he made those 68 faux sets to help pass the time! He was inspired by the "Fantasy #9" lobby cards created several decades ago, each of which is from a classic horror/sci-fi movie, showing a great scene that wasn't in the original set!

He created those 68 sets, using top images from each film! He did not make them through a computer program, but instead pasted together actual prints to create mock-ups. On most of these he made 8 card sets, but on some of them he created sets with odd quantities (as low as 4, and as high as 26 cards!). He then printed just THREE of each set, and he promised not to reprint them (and he has not). He numbered the first card in each set, and what we offered was the "1 of 3" of each set, which meant there are only two other sets of each, and there will never be more of those.

Our consignor told us that he would keep one of the three sets of each, but MAY give us the remaining third set at a later time to auction. But the winner of those 68 auctions have just one of three of these numbered sets that were created! IN EARLY 2023, THE SAME CONSIGNOR CREATED 47 ADDITIONAL SETS! Those were just like the first 68 sets, except all different titles and images. We auctoined those then, and NOW, IN LATE 2023, HE HAS CREATED 41 MORE SETS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME! There are just three of each sets, and we are auctioning the number 1 of 3 of each set (in 41 separate auctions). AND (as with the last two groups of these he created) OUR CONSIGNOR AGAIN PROMISES TO NEVER REPRINT THESE! So once again this is a great chance to get any of these really cool faux lobby sets!
