Girls, Do Not Miss "House On Haunted Hill" This Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  Forget the 1999 remake, darlings; most of us have.  The original, made forty years before that, is  the one and only.

                                    From a black screen, to sounds of screams and moans,  followed  by the appearance of  Elisha Cook, Jr. face, as Watson  Pritchard, on screen, and his thrilling monologue, to the end of  the film,  where laughter slams the door in the viewer's face, this is a brilliant amalgamation of mystery, horror, and camp.

                                       First, there is  Vincent Price.  Enough said.   Then there is Richard Long,  as handsome pilot, Lance Schroeder, Carolyn Craig as Nora Manning,  the spinster searching for something, and wait till  she finds Lance!, and sexy Carol Ohmart, later to be seen  in the demented 1967 thriller, "Spider Baby," as Annabelle  Loren,  Vincent Price's wife.

                                         The housekeeper is a riot!  And the way she moves, as though wired,  or on roller skates, is priceless.  She is played by Leona Anderson; too bad she died in 1973; she would  have been great in "Starlight Express!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                            I cannot urge you enough to watch it, darlings!  I have seen it  countless times, and it is always a treat.  Thank "Svengoolie" for showing it!

                                             Next to  "Rosemary's Baby," this is William Castle's best film!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    Could  this have foreshadowed the formation  of  the singing group, "Talking Heads?????????????????"
