House on Haunted Hill (1959)

If you dig through a list of movies in the public domain, you’ll mostly find pictures no one should be paying to see. Once in a while, however, you find a gem. House on Haunted Hill is a lot of fun. It’s scary, it’s campy, it’s got surprises, Vincent Price, and a terrific ending.

Eccentric millionaire Frederick Loren (Price) is throwing a party for his fourth wife, the insupportable Annabelle (Carol Ohmart). At an allegedly haunted house he has rented, he's invited four guests. Each will earn $10,000 if they can stay the night. Test pilot Lance Schroeder (Richard Long), newspaper columnist Ruth Bridges (Julie Mitchum), egghead psychiatrist Dr. David Trent (Alan Marshall), simple Nora Manning (Carolyn Craig) and the house’s schizophrenic owner, Watson Pritchard (Elisha Cook) have been carefully selected by Loren… but why?

If you want to know why so many classic horror fans love Vincent Price, watch this movie. Just looking at him, you can tell he’s having a great time, which works perfectly for his character. Is Loren pulling an elaborate prank on everyone? Is he scheming? Is he the one being fooled? You don’t know but you can’t wait to find out. It’s clear there’s something wrong with this house. Is it something genuinely supernatural? Hard to say. There are hints of ghostly business but that setup with the millionaire and his wife… it makes you think something's up. Things get trickier when we being following the individual guests. Some get a lot more screen time than others (which show that perhaps five guests were too many for a 75-minute movie) but each brings a new level of intrigue to this story. Nora, in particular, feels like the one you want to watch most closely. This place is rapidly grinding away at her sanity. You have a feeling the tragedy hinted at in the opening monologue has something to do with this woman.

Something about this picture simply works. Maybe it’s the cast, but it’s also the look director William Castle gives it. When the spooky stuff begins, a modern film would fall back on special effects and the razzle-dazzle. This film’s low budget didn’t allow it a lot of fancy tricks and the special effects it could afford work remarkably well. They certainly keep you on your toes because many of what you see at first isn’t what it seems… or is it? yes it is. But no! You’re kept wondering right until the end. This is where Castle - with the help of writer Robb White - work in perfect unison with the performers. That final note is one of those “ooooh!” Moments you can never forget. It turns what you sit down to watch with a kind of half-smile into a great film.

House on Haunted Hill would be a great pick to show kids on a Halloween night. It keeps you guessing. The performers are great. It’s moody and creepy but not too scary and above all, it's fun. (On DVD, March 25, 2020)

13 Ghosts (1960)

My rating: 6/10

Amusingly cheesy, though I was hoping for a bit more in terms of ghost effects - what we get feels more like a bad haunted house at a carnival than anything else.

Retro Review: "Deathwatch" by Robb White

*This review was originally posted/re-reviewed on Goodreads 9/24/2023. Newer review: Initial reaction: Coming shortly. I raised the rating by half a star. Brilliantly told story and a classic cat/mouse survival thriller, though sometimes hampered in the pacing despite a hefty (and admirable) amount of attention to detail. Continue reading Untitled

I love girls who wear satin opera gloves as well as latex opera gloves, fitting their arms perfectly.

Whatever Cersei had thought of Sansa Stark, she’s all grown up now. The twittering bird has become a honey-tongued snake. A capable snake: capable enough to convince her own brother to give her the chance to kill him. [Joffrey decides to teach Sansa Stark a lesson in gratitude. Sansa learns something else altogether.]

i rewatched the scene when jon and d*ny meet and hearing missandei call her "the RIGHTFUL queen of the seven kingdoms" made me burst out laughing. girl... your family has been deposed from the iron throne years ago, you have NO RIGHT to the the iron throne.

#anti daenerys targaryen #anti targaryen restoration #game of thrones #not only does she not have a claim to that ugly chair she also doesn't know history #the last king in the north was robb stark and he did not bend any knee #and she gets upset jon doesn't call her queen #while also refusing to acknowledge him as king in the north #he does not consider you his queen AND HE HAS EVERY RIGHT #the entitlment she has is ASTOUNDING #and later on her refusal to believe the white walkers were real is just... #jon fought them numerous times and is trying to warn her #does she think he just imagined them? woke up when day and said “white walkers exist cause i had a dream”? #d*ny was politically inept and just plain stupid
