House on Haunted Hill
Directed by William Castle
William Castle's gimmick-laden horror thriller is a fairground fun house come to life. Vincent Price stars as a suave eccentric millionaire married to a beautiful and greedy gold digger. Together they are hosting a party in a sinister haunted house. Five guests are invited to spend the night and each will get $10,000--but only if they survive until morning. The doors are locked at midnight. Will you make it out alive? Contains violence and gore.

oh nora you went THROUGH it
A little campy by today's standards, but a brilliant classic that still delights. It pulled me in and held my eyes on the screen longer than I thought while multitasking. Such is the frightful magic of Vincent Price! The dialogue is fun, with the visuals both aesthetically pleasing and easy on the eyes--until about 59 minutes in. For those with light sensitivity, be wary for about three minutes around that time. Overall, a great and spooky watch!
Vincent Price is probably one of the best horror Actress ever he’s iconic all of the movies he’s in are just classics RIP Vincent Price
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I had it on as background noise initially, but immediately got hooked. I watched it the day after watching House (1977) and it made a decent double feature!
Still the best.
