HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL ('59) HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL ('59) insert OR search current auctions Auction History Result 9g247 HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL insert '59 classic art of Vincent Price & skeleton with hanging girl! Date Sold 8/18/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 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! 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 insert is far more rare than the one-sheet from this movie! We have only auctioned three of them in all our years of auctioning, and all three were in much lesser condition. 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. Also note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has some faint creases and smudges around the edges. There is a light partial horizontal crease across the bottom 2" of the poster, where someone once started to fold it but changed their mind. There is a sticker on the back of the top right corner, from when it was auctioned by a major auction house, and that auction company put the sticker directly on the poster (but fortunately, it does not affect the front)! Other than the above, the poster is in really nice condition, and, as noted above, this is a very difficult poster to find in better condition. Learn More about condition grades
