House on Haunted Hill1959
“Consult your doctor! Bring your seatbelt!”
Directed by William Castle
The premise
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.
Horror Vault's take
An eccentric millionaire throws a macabre party with a tantalizing prize: survive one night inside a notoriously haunted mansion and walk away with ten thousand dollars. Each of the five invited strangers arrives by hearse, clutching a loaded pistol as their only insurance against whatever lurks in the dark. Vincent Price commands every scene as the enigmatic host, whose motives prove just as unsettling as the house itself. What unfolds is a gleefully sinister game where the line between ghostly terror and human menace refuses to stay clear.
