Does House On Haunted Hill Stand The Test Of Time?

From one 1999 horror remake to another. After re-watching The Haunting with eyes that were both more critical and 25 years older, it got me thinking about the other remake that came out that year. The original was from a far less dark castle in Schlock and Gimmick Purveyor William Castle, and it starred Vincent Price as a man offering strangers money to stay in an allegedly haunted house for a night. While The Haunting failed on multiple levels to improve with age, how does House on Haunted Hill look after a quarter of a century? Does its cheesy yet graphic tone feel at home in the time of A24 and elevated horror, or should it forfeit its 1 million dollar check and leave the cursed grounds forever? Close the shutters, and let’s see if this movie stands the Test of Time!
