eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result a854 HOUSE OF HORRORS 2 8x10 movie stills R52 crazed Rondo Hatton! Date Sold 11/14/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 1952 Re-release Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Stills (Learn More) House of Horrors (released in Australia as "The Sinister Shadow"), the 1946 Jean Yarbrough Universal horror thriller ("Meet the Creeper!") starring Bill Goodwin, Robert Lowery, Virginia Grey, Martin Kosleck, Alan Napier, Joan Fulton, Rondo Hatton ("as The Creeper"), and Byron Foulger. Note that Rondo Hatton was afflicted with acromegaly, which is a chronic disease marked by enlargement of the bones of the extremities, face, and jaw. Hollywood saw in Hatton the chance to make money by exploiting the way the disease had distorted his features, and for several years prior to his death, he was a villain in several Universal horror movies. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. Note that the top still in our image has had its right border folded back, pinholes in the corners, and many creases around the edges. The other still is in nice condition! This lot of 2 (or more) vintage movie publicity stills is in somewhat lesser condition (what most collectors might call "good to very good", "good", or "fair to good"). The stills offered here have defects typical of many photographs that are ten to eighty years old, and some are mainly only in the borders (like pinholes, staple holes, or tiny tears and creases), so it is likely that the stills can still be displayed and enjoyed. Please look at our "super-sized" image, as it will greatly help you know what condition this lot of stills is in! But also remember that many vintage stills pick up "scuff" marks over the years and it is likely that this lot has some (or many) of them, and they may not be all that apparent from our larger image. Please do not bid on this lot of stills unless you can accept the defects that one or more of the stills surely has! But also know that we were extremely harsh in grading the stills we are currently selling, because we wanted our buyers to be at least satisfied when they received their purchase, and possibly overjoyed! We downgraded many lots to this lower condition grade because one or two of the stills had defects that are basically pretty minor. If our super-sized image seems to indicate that this lot is in nicer condition than you would expert the stills to be in, know that it is likely a result of our having graded these stills so harshly!
