Appears in Vintage Hollywood Posters 9 CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (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. Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: good to very good. The top section of the poster (which is the smaller piece) has much clean separation in the foldline that runs through the skeleton's body (approximately half of that foldline is separated, but it is very clean). There is separation and tiny paper loss in the bottom half of the foldline that runs through the top of the girl's body. There are pinholes, creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss around the edges of that section. The bottom section of the poster had an area in the top right corner that was completely separated from the poster. It runs vertically down by the girl's arm, and then across to the edge of the poster. Someone taped it back on to the poster with white tape. There is separation and tiny paper loss at most of the crossfolds in the larger section and there are small tears and small areas of paper loss in the part of the horizontal foldline that runs just above Price's head (entering the top of his hair). There are pinholes and a few creases around the edges of the larger section. Overall, the poster's defects are the sort that respond quite well to restoration! After linenbacking by a top professional, the poster will look great and since many of the defects are in the borders, or are clean separations on foldlines, there will be little actual paint restoration anywhere on the poster, except on the exact small areas of paper loss detailed above.
