There is a house on haunted hill, a bad house. It's been said
that the house is alive, but no one knows for sure. There are many ghosts in
this house, many. You see, this house hasn't always been a house. It used to
be an asylum directed by Dr. Vannacutt. In his own way, the good doctor was
worth of being a patient in his own asylum. To save energy, he used electroshock
therapy on eighteen patients at once. The most inhumane practice of his was
his live autopsies. Not only were there patients alive, but they were fully
conscious as well. One night, everything went wrong. All of the patients got
out, and they exacted their revenge on the mad doctor and his employees. The
house was closed for a while after that, but never fully cleaned out. After
a while, it was used as a house, but not the basement. That was the one place
of the house that no one should have ever re entered. After being closed up
again, Evelyn Price decided to have a party in this house. Her husband promptly
shredded her list of guests and made his own only to have them deleted. I guess
the house had it's own agenda. The five strangers went to the house, but only
for one reason, money. You see, Mr. Price offered them one million dollars each
if they stayed the entire night, and lived. This night was filled with mayhem,
ghosts, murder, and betrayal. And only two would survive, but who you might
ask. You will have to find that out for yourself. But I will say this. Now the
house is locked up from the inside, never to be entered ever again, lets hope.
