It's Hell House. Roddy McDowall heads the cast of this exciting chiller about four psychic investigators and the dark, brooding mansion they themselves call "the Mt. Everest of haunted houses." It's already destroyed one team of researchers. Now this brave quartet ventures in for another try at unraveling its secret. But before they succeed, they must suffer through madness, murder and everything else the spirits that dwell here have in store for them. Yet learning the truth just might drive them all insane. An ingeniously-devised ghost story, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE will thrill and delight veteran horror fans from the first creaking door to the very last slithering shadow. Amazon.com: Four people enter the Belasco Mansion, the so-called "Everest of haunted houses," hired by a dying millionaire to investigate the possibility of life after death. Physicist Clive Revill leads the quartet, which includes his wife Gayle Hunnicut and two mediums. Pamela Franklin, young and impulsive, immediately makes contact with what she perceives as a tortured spirit, while Roddy McDowall, the only survivor from the previous investigation 20 years ago, closes himself off completely, deathly afraid of the malevolent forces that crushed his former comrades in body and spirit. Science fiction and horror legend Richard Matheson, responsible for penning such horror classics as The Devil Rides Out and Roger Corman's The Pit and the Pendulum, brings a literate sensibility and a refreshing seriousness to the haunted-house genre with this adaptation of his novel Hell House. Director John Hough follows Matheson's lead with a moody but sober approach, balancing the physical threats of objects lethally leaping to life with the slow, subtle possession of the characters by a truly evil spirit. Parts of the script feel like so much scientific mumbo jumbo, with characters discussing the finer points of supernatural manifestation and ectoplasmic activity, but Hough's deliberate direction gives it the necessary solemnity to take it all seriously. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This film is legendary!I have been wanting this movie for a long time. Pretty much top shelf entertainment of the evil house variety. Absolutely love it, haunting without the blood and guts. Rating:  - Over-the-top and dated, but still funThis is a movie that you'll either love or hate. It's the usual story: A wealthy and aging eccentric wants a research team to prove the existence of life after death, or that ghosts are real, or something like that. Four people enter the house. Not all of them survive. The music and acting are often over the top. Some of the paranormal scenes are completely unrealistic. The pacing can be tedious and typical of its era. So, why would you want ... Read More Rating: - A Haunted House Film Worth SeeingMr. Rudolph Deutsch has hired Lionel Barrett to investigate a haunted house. This isn't any normal haunted house though. It seems as though anyone who enters the house either leaves the house insane or winds up dead. In addition to Mr Barrett, his wife, Ann Barrett, a mental medium named Florence Tanner, and a physical medium who is also the only survivor of the last team of investigators to visit the house named Benjamin Fischer are all visiting Hell House to try and solve this phenomenon. $100,000 ...

It may be vintage horror, but it is not your typical "haunted house" flick. It may not have all of those glitzy, Hollywood special effects, but it still manages to chill me to the bone. For good, old-fashioned horror movie fans, this is a MUST have! Rating: - A ClassicA more visceral tale than Wise's adaption of THE HAUNTING, this big screen version of Richard Matheson's novel HELL HOUSE is still all these years later, one spooky film. A fine cast that includes Clive Revill, Gayle Hunnicutt, Roddy McDowell and Pamela Franklin, it comes really close to capturing the power of Matheson's book. Some chilling moments and a brief cameo by Michael Gough. Browse for similar items by category:
