Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the 1960's horror/fantasy thriller, HORROR HOUSE, released in 1969 by American International Pictures (AIP) and directed by Michael Armstrong, in which teenagers gathered in an old mansion are being murdered one by one. The survivors must discover who among them is the killer before he (or she?) finishes-off everybody. The cast includes Frankie Avalon, Jill Haworth, Dennis Price, George Sewell,l and Mar Winter.
As indicated in the center of the bottom border, this is lobby card #2 from the set of 8 cards. It is unrestored in very fine condition with light signs of wear on the tips of the corners. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, writing, or other flaws.
Horror House was Selected by Quentin Tarantino for the First Quentin Tarantino Film Fest in Austin, Texas, 1996. Michael Armstrong's original script was much more psychedelic and envisaged David Bowie in the role of Richard, but he was overruled by AIP as it was considered that Bowie would clash with Frankie Avalon. He was replaced by Noel Janus but objections by Equity led to him being replaced with Julian Barnes (who had originally been cast as Henry). Boris Karloff was offered the role of the Police Inspector but health problems forced him to decline. He was instead offered a smaller role as the film's narrator but this was scrapped when his health deteriorated further. Reportedly, deadly leading Jill Haworth was on drugs during filming. |
