An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) My World Dies Screaming (also released as "Terror In the Haunted House", with completely different art for each release), the 1958 Harold Daniels psycho horror thriller ("Astounding Shocker!"; "Startling Shocker"; "The First Picture in Psycho-Rama! Using Subliminal Communication"; "The Fourth Dimension!"; "Destined to be the most talked of picture of all time!") starring Gerald Mohr, Cathy O'Donnell (billed as "Kathy O'Donnell"), William Ching, John Qualen, and Barry Bernard NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? "Paperbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them easier to display (it is easier and less expensive to frame a paperbacked poster, but not quite as easy as it is to frame a linenbacked poster). When paperbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction was well paperbacked, but the restorer likely did not attempt to make the poster look "perfect". You may still see some slight evidence of the restoration and/or the defects when you look at the poster from inches away. But the poster now looks quite nice, and I think most collectors would be extremely happy to display this poster on their wall. In general, know that we received many of the paperbacked posters we are currently selling already paperbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: very good to fine. The poster had minor fold and border wear. It was mounted onto a very thin paper backing and it is very slightly "lifting" from the backing in the bottom left corner (it could be easily re-glued by any restorer or talented amateur in a matter of moments).
