Product description
William Castle famously insured audience members for $1,000 against death by fright during the original screening of this 1959 cinematic masterpiece. This poster showcases a stern Vincent Price clutching a candle, his face cast in a warm glow that contrasts with the chilling scene behind him.
About 1950s film posters
In the 1950s, studios fought television with spectacle, and their posters became louder and more colourful. The best horror posters suggest the fear rather than show it, letting imagination do the rest. The original dates from 1959. Horror poster artists have long relied on silhouettes, shadows and a single unsettling detail.
Styling this 1950s movie poster
With its blue palette and vibrant atmosphere, this 1950s movie poster brings instant personality to a wall. Hang “House on Haunted Hill” above a sofa, sideboard or bed: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. The blue palette of “House on Haunted Hill” pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak; finish it with a black or antique-gold frame. Build a gallery wall around “House on Haunted Hill”: add two or three smaller prints that echo its blue and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
