This lot is the highly sought after 27"X41 Original One Sheet U.S. Linen Backed movie poster for the 1953 horror classic, The House of Wax 3-D. Billed on the poster as the "First Feature Produced by a Major Studio in 3D!", The House of Wax 3D is listed as the 1950's most financially successful 3D film. The film stars horror master, Vincent Price. The rare poster is in Very Good condition with only a few natural aging areas and blemishes in the borders. with House of Wax revitalized the film career of Vincent Price, who had been playing secondary character parts and occasional sympathetic leads since the late 1930s. After this high-profile role, Price was in high demand to play fiendish villains, mad scientists and assorted other deranged characters in genre films such as The Tingler, The Masque of the Red Death and The Abominable Dr. Phibes. Supporting player Carolyn Jones, whose career had begun when she appeared in House of Wax, gained a much higher profile more than a decade later in the TV comedy horror spoof The Addams Family as Morticia Addams. The film also features a young Charles Bronson as IGOR (credited as: Charles Buchinsky) In 2014, the movie was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry (Wikipedia) For More information on the film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Wax_(1953_film)
