Date Sold 8/29/2023Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]; MOUNTED ON FOAMCORE) (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!

PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT HAS BEE MOUNTED ON FOAMCORE AND THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO BE A MUCH HIGHER PRICE FOR SHIPPING BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE SHIPPED IN SUCH A LARGE FLAT PACKAGE. Note that we have only previously auctioned two 30x40 posters from this movie, and only one in the last 12 years (they both had the same image, but two different color schemes). One had a light blue background like this one and the other had a light yellow background, and there were some other color differences. Condition: good. THIS POSTER WAS MOUNTED ON FOAMCORE! It had many creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered throughout, with tears scattered down the left and right, and some vertical tears in the top and bottom. Someone mounted the poster onto foamcore and then performed some restoration to the above defects, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Please look closely at our super-sized image before bidding and PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT IS MOUNTED ON FOAMCORE. A talented professional could remove it from the foamcore and linenback it, or it certainly could be displayed as it is, but ONLY bid if you have read all of the above.
