House on Haunted Hill, directed by William Castle and starring Vincent Price.
Key Information
Plot Eccentric millionaire Frederick Loren (Vincent Price) invites five strangers to a "haunted house" party at a remote mansion. He offers each person $10,000 if they can stay locked in the house from midnight until morning. The guests soon find themselves trapped with an assortment of terrors, including ghosts, murder plots, and other frightening phenomena.
Genre & Legacy The film is considered a cult classic horror movie known for its campy and creepy atmosphere. Director William Castle was famous for his innovative, low-budget marketing gimmicks; for the original theatrical release of this film, he used "Emergo," a practical effect where a skeleton prop would float across the cinema during a key scene. |
