House on Haunted Hill by William Castle

House on Haunted Hill is a 1959 American horror film directed and produced by the legendary showman William Castle and starring the iconic Vincent Price. A masterclass in atmospheric tension and campy thrills, the film follows eccentric millionaire Frederick Loren (Price), who invites five strangers to spend the night in a supposedly haunted mansion. If they survive until morning, each will earn $10,000.

As the guests navigate the eerie corridors of the house, they encounter strange apparitions, chilling sounds, and sinister motives—both supernatural and human. But is the house truly haunted, or is someone using fear as a deadly weapon?

Famous for its spooky setting, twist ending, and Castle’s original theatrical gimmick “Emergo” (a skeleton flying over the audience), House on Haunted Hill remains a cult classic and a cornerstone of mid-century American horror.
