House on Haunted Hil (1959)

Friday, March 2, 2012
I have always enjoyed House on Haunted Hill.  Another great black and white Vincent Price movie.  I have have watched it several times.  I am fan of paranormal or ghost story style horror movies more then any other.  Slasher is probably the least fav of all. 

A man and his wife throws a party for five guests who have never met him or each other.  He will pay them each $10,000 if they stay the whole night a haunted house.

Even though the effects are little off by today's standards.  I still get a little chill here and there in the movie.  Not all the events can be explained by the duplicity of the wife and her co-conspirator.  And I must say, even though the caretaker's blind wife is supposedly explained, she still "haunts" better then many ghosts.

This movie was remade in 1999 using a building that once housed an insane asylum but it was not nearly as good.
