House on Haunted Hill
Leaving November 30
•
1h 14m
Directed by William Castle • 1959 • United States
Starring Vincent Price, Carol Ohmart, Richard Long
B-movie maestro William Castle and cult star Vincent Price join forces for this unabashedly entertaining old-dark-house thriller, which blends creepy atmospherics with a touch of camp outrageousness. Price plays a wealthy eccentric who throws a party at his foreboding mansion, offering to give each of his guests $10,000—as long as they can survive the night. What begins as an evening of fun and harmless scares soon becomes a night of terror, as the weird goings-on (ghosts, a pit of acid, walking skeletons) and schlocky-fun thrills pile up.
