Vincent Price plays the tycoon who invites 5 people to spend one night locked inside a haunted house for 10,000 each. A lot of money in 1959.
His young, greedy wife is also invited to the "party".
It's a fun ride for all, and you can tell that the actors are having a good time, too. Sticking out with the juiciest parts are Vincent Price as the tycoon and scene stealing Elisha Cook Jr. As the "kooky guest".
The "hero" is a pilot played by Big Valley's eldest son, Richard Long. He doesn't get to have as much fun as Vincent and Elisha here, but he is a brave and noble hero.
This doesn't have the look of a giant budget one expects from Hollywood, but it has atmosphere, and it's a super fun ride. It's everyone involved that makes this a top film, but it's Elisha who makes this a classic.
