We are excited to release the next poster in our feature Vincent Price series,House on Haunted Hill by Aaron Lea! Aaron has created beautiful artwork for the William Castle/Vincent Price classic!
- The artist had the following to say about his inspiration for the art:
"It was important to give a nod to William Castle and his use of cinematic gimmicks and marketing. Emergo, whose logo is included on the poster's billing block, gave 1959 movie-goers the experience of a 12 foot tall glowing skeleton flying over their seats. Also, the title treatment features a hanging victim that serves as a call-back to the original 1959 theatrical one sheet"
The artwork includes a number of notable Easter Eggs hidden in the money in the poster!
The bills on on the poster contain:
- The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis seal is used on the bill — Vincent Price is from St. Louis, MO.
- The Treasurer of the United States signature belongs to Vincent Price.
- The series year on the bills, 1959, is when House on Haunted Hill was released.
- The serial number, VP05271911, is Vincent Price's initials and date of birth, May 27, 1911.
