Synopsis:

"William Castle's Best Gimmick Flick. It's Really Great Fun." -- John Stanley, Creature Features

House on Haunted Hill -- where the host pays you to stay! There'll be no valets, no mints on pillows. But each guest receives a much needed amenity: a tiny coffin… with a gun inside.

With its blood-curdling opening shriek, its blend of goofiness and headstone sobriety and its twist-upon-twist finale, House finds a home among the legends of the silver scream. Vincent Price, the master of unctuous evil with credits from the House of Wax to Edward Scissorhands, is at his oozily wicked best as a supremely wealthy man who invites a handful of strangers to stay at an eerie abode that's been the site of seven murders. Each guest who survives the night will be rewarded $10,000. Any takers?
