House
On Haunted Hill (1958)
First
Film With the Amazing New Wonder EMERGO: The Thrills Fly Right
Into The Audience!
Eccentric
millionaire Fredrick Loren (Vincent
Price) and
his 4th wife, Annabelle, have invited 5 people to the house
on Haunted Hill for a "Haunted House" party. Whoever
will spend the night in "the only truly haunted house
in the world" will earn ten thousand dollars each. As
the night progresses, all the guests are trapped inside the
house with ghosts, murderers, and other terrors.
The five
strangers come to the house each needing the money for there
own reasons. As they get to know one another. Fredrick hands
each of them a twisted party favor (loaded handguns, delivered
in their own tiny coffins), and then the spook-show begins.
Was the
house was never really haunted? What is Annabelle's
real reason for wanting the party? This Vincent
Price camp
classic has it all from blood drips from the ceiling, witch
like women that float through rooms, and a walking skeleton.
House on Haunted Hill is full of screams and things
that go bump in the night. Is it scary? Maybe not. Is it classic
horror fun. Yes.
