House on Haunted Hill (1959)


Allied Artists
Directed by William Castle
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Shout Factory)

Millionaire Vincent Price lures guests to a remote house he has rented by promising them each ten thousand dollars if they can make it through the night. After giving each of them a gun and locking them inside, ghosts begin to appear. One of the guests, a female employee of one of Price's companies, is driven to the verge of hysteria and apparently kills Price in the basement. However, it all turns out to be a ruse and Price has set a trap for his wife and her lover. Entertaining William Castle nonsense, originally with the "Emergo" gimmick where a skeleton flew over the audience.
