A perennial favorite of the "Shock Theatre" TV circuit, House on Haunted Hill stars Vincent Price as a sinister gent (you're surprised?) who owns a sinister mansion on a sinister hill. He offers several of his enemies $10,000each - if they agree to spend the night in the crumpbling old mansion. Price festively gives each nof his guests a tiny coffin containing a hangun, then proceeds to set in montion any number of gadgets and devices designed to frighten the guest into using their weapons. Strange as it seems old Vinnie isn't the real villain of the proceedings: the honor goes to his scheming wife Carol Obmart and her lover Alan Marshall. Alson on hand is eternal doom-sayer Elisha Cook Jr., who is given the film's famous line. When originally released in theatres, House on Haunted Hill was accompanied by one of those gimmicks so beloved by producer/director William Castle: the gimmick was "Emergo", and it involved a prop skeleton that "emerged" from the screen at a crucial moment to frighten the audience.
