House on Haunted Hill

1959 · 75 min

A creaky, theatrical haunted-house lark that rattles and shocks with ghoulish glee, more funfair spook-ride than genuine terror.

Tagline
Consult your doctor! Bring your seatbelt!
Overview
Frederick Loren invites five strangers to the party of a lifetime and offers each of them $10,000 if they can stay the night in the reportedly haunted house. Armed with a gun for protection, each guest arrives in a hearse and will either leave in it much richer…Or dead.
