Multimillionaire Price offers a group of people a surprisingly light handful of cash to stay the night in his supposedly haunted house. And so begins the bat-on-a-string effects, as someone begins trying to scare them to death for their share of the money.
This is one of Price's best roles, suave and silkily dangerous ("Do you remember the fun we had when you poisoned me?") The house itself, while it isn't exactly *haunted*, does have a wonderful film noir look about it, elegantly and stylishly dreadful looking, complete with candelabra chandelier, an acid bath in the basement, and an old bat being pulled around on a cart while making faces at the camera.
Is it scary? Not in the least. It's about as scary as a sock puppet, but it's a lot of fun to watch, especially in a cinema, as I had the opportunity to do this past Halloween.
