The House On Haunted Hill (DVD)

Vintage, classic horror from William Castle, the master of budget B-movies. Five strangers are invited to stay the night at a haunted house with each receiving $10,000 if they can live through the night. This 1950s horror movie stars Vincent Price as Frederick Loren, Carol Ohmart as Annabelle Loren (Lorens wife), Alan Marshal as Dr. Trent, Richard Long as Lance and Carolyn Craig as Nora. The five strangers are brought to Haunted Hill in funeral cars, a foreboding of things to come. With strangled cries, doors slamming shut, apparitions floating in mid-air, the horror begins - but watch out the ending may surprise you! William Castle loved gimmicks to frighten his viewers. When the film originally played in some movie theatres a skeleton on wires would float over the audience during the final scenes.
