John, I think NEANDERTHAL MAN is the right answer. I can recall seeing, or at least reading about, 3D or similar effects in all the others.HOUSE OF WAX was re-released in the 1980s I think. Far too young to see it first time round (ie not born). At the re-release the cinema handed out the 3D specs. Quite a gimmick. Most memorable moments were the man outside the waxworks with the ping-pong ball show (he'd ping them into his mouth then pong them into the audience), and Charles Bronson lurching up out of the foreground (which worked a treat in the cinema - it was like the guy sitting in front had suddenly taken a hairy).
GORILLA AT LARGE and some of the rest I saw on TV specless, but I remember the titles of GORILLA looming out in sturdy letters, so it probably was in 3D.
IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE - seem to recall a meteor flying towards the screen right at the start - typical 3D effect.
THE MASK - haven't seen it, but think I read something about it having some visual hook.
13 GHOSTS - another one I didn't see, but as it was from showman William Castle, it must have had some gimmick.
And that, my dear Watson, leaves THE NEANDERTHAL MAN!
MAYBE...
