HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL(1959)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics


This may well be the best Vincent Price movie
ever made!! A great suspense movie, with a twist
that's hard to see coming(though I admit I did),
a very good supporting cast, and for flavor, Elija
Cook Jr.(best known for being on not only Magnum
P.I. but also the Star Trek episode "Court Martial")!! A+

From a reviewer from IMDb.com:

This is the kind of old movie I grew up watching,
and I just wanted to see if it held up at all.

I thought it actually worked quite well, and at
only a little more than an hour, it was a quick
watch with little filler. The plot had interesting
twists and was fairly tight. Black and white was
also perfect for this "blast from the past".

It's really more properly labeled as "Suspense"
or "Thriller", rather than "Horror", so don't let
the supposed genre turn you away. It's also quite
tame by modern standards as far as any gruesome
effects and such, but still manages to pack a
greater emotional punch than a lot of modern
movies with blood and guts flying everywhere.

I'd say, slow down a bit every now and then,
and try a true old classic like this one. They're
fun and make a nice change of pace. - carbuff
