Watching the original House on Haunted Hill is a bit of a Halloween tradition here at the Shattered Lens.

First released in 1959, The House on Haunted Hill features Vincent Price as a millionaire who invites five people to a party that he and his wife are throwing in a supposedly haunted house.  Price explains that anyone who can actually make it through the entire night will receive $10,000.  (That’s the equivalent of a $110,000 today.)   Is the house truly haunted?  The groundskeeper (Elisha Cook, Jr.) certainly seems to think so!

This is a classic haunted house movie, featuring Price at his best and a number of genuinely fun twists.  Even if you’ve seen it a hundred times, you need to watch it again.  Here is …. THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL!
