31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 14: HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL 1959 (GAIAM)

William Castle shocker about a group of people who spend the night in a house supposedly haunted by ghosts in order to collect $10,000.

Vincent Price is the host of the party along with his sexy wife played by Carol Ohmart. The guests are locked in the house after midnight and cannot escape. There are several good scares in this one including a blind maid that is really a horror to look at.

The other guests in the house include Richard Long, Elisha Cook, Jr., Carolyn Craig and Alan Marshal. The film is very well done as are all of Castle's films and this is probably his most famous. Please pass by the turgid remake of several years ago. This film is perfect for Halloween viewing.
