Product description
A cold, unnatural chill permeates the scene as a giant skeleton looms over a gabled Victorian mansion. This print captures the macabre energy of the 1959 classic, using a palette of sickly greens, deep blacks, and startling yellows to highlight the grotesque elements.
About 1950s film posters
1950s posters brought widescreen epics, sci-fi monsters and the first graphic designs by Saul Bass. Horror poster artists have long relied on silhouettes, shadows and a single unsettling detail. The original image dates from 1959. Studio art departments produced several poster styles for each release to appeal to different audiences.
Styling this 1950s movie poster
Yellow and green tones give this 1950s movie poster a moody character that holds a room. In a dorm room, “House on Haunted Hill” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. The yellow and green palette of “House on Haunted Hill” warms up grey or white walls and suits natural wood and brass accents; finish it with a slim walnut or black frame. “House on Haunted Hill” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
