House On Haunted Hill (1959)

Description

A humdinger of a horror flick for Vincent Price fans! Eccentric millionaire Fredrick Loren invites five people to a party he is throwing for his fourth wife Annabelle in an allegedly haunted house he has rented, promising to give each $10,000 with the stipulation that they stay the entire night in the house after the doors are locked at midnight. The guests are test pilot Lance Schroeder, newspaper columnist Ruth Bridges, psychiatrist Dr. David Trent who specializes in hysteria, Nora Manning who works for one of Loren’s companies, and the house’s owner Watson Pritchard. All are strangers to both the Lorens and each other, with their only commonality: a desperate need for money. As the night progresses, all the guests are trapped inside the house with ghosts, murderers, and other terrors.
