What We're Watching: Tracy

House on Haunted Hill, directed by William Castle, starring Vincent Price.

Recently released is a special 5oth anniversary edition of the classic William Castle/Vincent Price film, House on Haunted Hill. Price plays a millionaire who invites five strangers to a haunted house party that doubles as a contest: he promises $10,000 to any of the guests who can last the night. More kitschy and kooky than truly spooky, House on Haunted Hill is a fun, campy horror film, very different in tone from its recent remakes. This special edition features a new transfer, original trailers and television spots, and an interesting mini-documentary about the actual house used for the exterior shots.
