House on Haunted Hill

HorrorMystery

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. From TMDB

    #nowwatching The House on Haunted Hill (1959) What a banger. I love this film, this is a comfort watch for me. Some true scream queens, jump scares,and Vincent Price being an absolute king. Also famous for 'Emergo' the wire-pulled skeleton. No one did it like William Castle lol. Any other fans?

    House on Haunted Hill (1959) is a classic, campy 1950s horror film starring Vincent Price as an eccentric millionaire. It is praised for its atmospheric, gothic charm, and it is considered a well-paced tongue-in-cheek horror staple. (Best way to see it: the Rifftrax version.)

    House On Haunted Hill (1959) is a masterpiece of 1950s horror. It is one of the crown jewels of Castle's legendary career. This film took the haunted house template, injected it with humor, macabre style, and an immortal performance by Vincent Price. #horror #horrormovies #horrorsky #horrorjunkie

    Rewatched Rosemary's Baby. Still an horror classic. How ironic that it was in fact a William Castle production. Castle of HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and THE TINGLER fame. To seperate his reputation from overriding the film, they had to minimize his role in the press.

    Another Vincent Price film under my belt now. “House on Haunted Hill”. I get it’s been so long since the making of movies like this, but this one made me giggle a lot. Vincent’s always my favorite part of whatever movie he’s part of, and he definitely shines here in this one. Good movie, very silly👍🏼

    The original Robby The Robot suit was retired in 1971 (so everything from Columbo on is a replica) and sold to a museum which closed in 1980. Director William Malone (House On Haunted Hill) bought the suit, selling it in 2017 for $5.3M, making it the most expensive film prop ever sold at auction.

    Hope William Malone is doing okay these days. He hasn’t made a movie since “Parasomnia” in 2008, and his “House on Haunted Hill” and “Fair-Haired Child” have a lush style and clarity of effect in their most suspenseful moments.
