Synopsis
Frederick Loren has invited five strangers to a “Haunted House” party, and is offering each of them $10,000 if they can survive a single night in the murderous mansion. Vincent Price gives a stellar performance as the suavely sinister host of this classic William Castle horror feast. Watch for the great Elisha Cook Jr., (Wilmer Cook in the The Maltese Falcon) as the groveling homeowner. The eerie looking home used for the exterior shots is the historic Ennis-Brown house in Los Feliz, CA, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1924. It was later used in the film Blade Runner.
