My observation regarding Australian 3 sheets, apart from them being rare, is that the majority of available poster images of this style are from the 1960's, then followed by the 1950's, making these two decades accounting for the vast majority of known Australian 3 sheet posters. Smaller examples exist from the 1970's and very few from the 1940's. None from the 1930's when during this decade it appears that some overseas 3 sheets were also used here in Australia and none after the 1970's when they were no longer printed here.
Excellent Wil. Would you please confirm that the printer is W.F. Schey Pty.Ltd. as it is very hatd to read. Although the film was released in the U.S.A. in late 1955, due to the backlog of unreleased Allied Artists product that Paramount acquired in 1958, the film didn't receive an Australian release in Australia until late 1959. This now has the tagline confirmed as being used in late 1959 as well as 1960.
Like the "Get more out of life, go out to a movie" Tagline.
The '' Get more out of life Go out to a movie'' tagline was used on a limited number Paramount Pictures posters circa 1960, but only for a short period of time. This wording was included within what appears to be a flying banner which appears on your poster.This exact promotional wording was revived by the distributor Filmways in the late 1970's, and into the early 1980' in a slightly altered shaped banner style that appeared on all their posters.
As far as I have worked out W.F.Schey Pty.Ltd. designed and printed posters for Paramount Pictures were the only ones in 1960 that had included the promotional tagline. The Psycho Australian daybill and one sheet printed by a different printer or printers doesn't include the tagline. The Paramount W.F.Schey printed House On Haunted Hill 3 sheet has the tagline but the Australian daybill from Richardson Studio / W.E.Smith doesn't. Another example is The Bellboy one sheet also printed by W.F.Schey, whereas the Australian daybill from the Richardson Studio / W.E. Smith doesn't. As W. F. Schey weren't known for producing daybills, it appears then that only a limited number of W.F.Schey designed and printed one and 3 sheets for Paramount Pictures, with the promotional tagline were ever produced. This in my eyes Wil makes this poster a little different, as well as being very rare.
We now know that an Australian one sheet of House On Haunted Hill exists, and has the ''Get more out of life, Go out to a movie'' tagline printed on it, and the printer also being W.F. Schey. There is also another Paramount W.F.Schey printed Australian one sheet that I have just become aware of as well, with the tagline also printed on it. The title being Joy Ride ( 1958 , which was released in Australia in 1960. The Joy Ride daybill from Richardson Studio / W.E.Smith doesn't have the tagline printed on it. This then would reinforce my thinking that the tagline was only printed on W.F.Schey produced one sheet and 3 sheets circa 1960.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
The Space Children ( 1958 ) released in Australia in late 1958
also had a W.F.Schey Pty.Ltd. Paramount Australian one sheet printed with
the ''Get more out of life , go out to a movie!'' tagline appearing on it. It
now shows that W.F.Schey printed Paramount one and three sheets in Australia
that displayed the tagline between 1958 and 1960.

Australian three sheets are rare. The most available number of
images are from the 1950's, and there aren't that many of them. There are even
fewer existing examples from the 1940's, with the earliest example that I have
sighted being South Of Samoa ( a.k.a. Typhoon ) from 1940. Not many examples
have surfaced, but from some equally rare Australian press sheets, the images
on the Australian Film distributor's copies, where the poster information was
printed and can be read and obtained from posted images on Bruce's website and
elsewhere, the one sheets are included under accessories on the RKO and
Paramount examples at least. The big question is now where are the pre 1940
Australian three sheets? Has anyone every seen an example? A question then to
ponder is where they at sometime pre 1940 supplied from the U.S.A. and the U.K.
and perhaps only printed for made in Australia films, or is it just a simple
case of none surfacing to date? If of course anyone does has any 1930's
of before three sheets examples that may exist, please let us see them?

Since I originally posted the above information Chris kindly included the following image.
Apparently the bottom 2/3 of a three sheet from 1933:
The missing film's title credit missing of the top of the poster was King Of The Jungle.
Now I have located another Australian printed 3 sheet from the 1930s. A poster image of International House appears below. Interestingly it is also a Paramount 1933 release as well.
I am unable to identify who the Australian printer for King Of The Jungle is, but the printer for International House is Troedel & Cooper Pty Ltd., who operated out of Melbourne, Victoria.
Ir is now estanlished then that 3 sheet posters were printed in Australia as early as 1933, by at least Troedel & Cooper for Paramount Pictures.
The International House came from a shed in my home town. It, along with some one-sheets, needed a lot of restoration. I sent them to HA for repair and auction, which wasn't a great experience. It is a nice poster. I have the tatty remains of the one sheet version, along with an old Gary Cooper partial three-sheet, in storage.The sad part of the story is the guy (who was fellow-member of the local surf club) who had them had previously cleared out the shed and taken everything to the tip. These were the leftovers he missed.

Interesting history and thanks for sharing. I would love for you to share here with us the partial Gary Cooper three sheet image, which I believe is also, along with the King Of The Jungle and the International House three sheets, from Paramount Pictures.
The remaining viewable section of The Eagle And the Hawk poster reveals that this Australian 3 sheet poster was also a 1933 release printed by Troedel & Cooper. The artwork adapted from similar artwork appearing on the below U.S.A. lobby card.
Three Australian printed 1933 Paramount Pictures release 3 sheet posters now found to exist, with two identified as been printed by Troedel & Cooper.
The Eagle and the Hawk is the other title. I wonder if there was a Frankenstein or King Kong in that shed???
Good question. but it crossed my mind if all the film posters were Paramount Pictures product, and were the other studios in 1933 still importing their 3 sheets from the U.S.A.
I am wondering if the the above King Of The Jungle partial 3 sheet poster was orifinally included in the shed find that Rick mentioned originated from his old home town or not.
I have the press sheets for each of those titles. The 3 sheets are pictured and are pretty much the same as these ones here, though those in the press sheets may well be the U.S. ones and these surviving are fairly good interpretations of them. The designs are the same in each, if slightly different in execution. For example Buster Crabbe's face differs a bit from the poster to the press sheet image. It's interesting that the International House 1 sheets are American.

Not sure that I follow exactly what you mean when you say that ''the International House 1 Sheets are American.''

American as in printed in U.S.A. I take it these were used in Australia.
The above image was Australian printed as shown below,
