A millionaire offers $10,000 to five people who agree to be locked in a large, spooky, rented house overnight with him and his wife.
House on Haunted Hill (1959)
An eccentric millionaire invites five strangers to his wife's party where they will be locked in a haunted house with no electricity and no way to communicate with the outside world for the night.
If they survive the night, they will receive $10,000. House on Haunted Hill is a clever film that features Vincent Price at his best. As Frederick Loren, he is perfect as a controlling, jealous man set out to outsmart his greedy but beautiful wife.
