House on Haunted Hill fans if any are on here: what are your thoughts on whether Loren did or didn't actually kill his first three wives?
I had always assumed he did: partly because having three wives die young is just very suspicious, and partly because he doesn't really react the way an innocent man would be expected to to Annabelle's accusations--he seems more smug than hurt by being called a ghoul and a murderer, doesn't seem at all sad when the topic of the deaths of his previous wives comes up, doesn't contradict much of what she says about him, and generally comes across in several scenes like he's enjoying the whole murder plot thing too much.
Meanwhile I've noticed some reviews, plot summaries, etc that were clearly taking the position that he didn't kill them and that Annabelle made that up--making the argument that we don't really have much evidence, beyond the fact that Annabells is his fourth wife, that doesn't come from her and she's not a trustworthy source, and that if he was really a murderer why would he agree to face the courts about Annabelle's death and not try and cover it up (though I suppose it's possible that he has a twisted enough view that he sees killing your wife out of jealousy as justifiable but potentially letting an innocent person get suspected of a crime you committed as wrong? even if he claimed both deaths in the house were an accident, the circumstances are weird enough that suspicion might fall on the others...), or arguing that if he was a murderer the ending of him getting away with it would be unsatisfying...
Obviously "acts sinister" and "has actually murdered multiple people" aren't inherently the same but I always thought the evidence pointed to him pretty strongly...
