"The ghosts are moving tonight."

House on Haunted Hill (1958)

Scare: Quality: Story: Overall:
They say this house is full of ghosts... seven to be exact. One ghost died after her husband threw her into a vat of acid. Another, the most recent, also involves a marriage gone bad. The wife, she just went crazy one night. She murdered her husband and her sister then chopped them up and placed their body parts in various places around the house. The heads were never found. Tonight, there is going to be a party in this house. Seven people total. Four men and three women, just like the ghosts. A ghost for everyone as someone said. The host tonight is Frederick Loren. The party was his wives idea, his fourth wife to be exact, but he invited the people. Five strangers. They only have one thing in common, they all need money. You see, Mr. Loren offered them 10,000 dollars each if they spent the night in the house. As legend has it, you can come in, but once night falls and the house is locked, you won't get out. The door is cast iron, and every window is barred. There will be murders tonight, but will it be the ghosts that cause it, or foul play? Oh... and, have a nice time at the party.
