[7.2/10] Watched this one at a Halloween party, with the usual sort of merriment, laughing, and talking over the film, so take this all with a grain of salt, but this was an enjoyable heap of camp. I couldn’t recall whether I’d seen Vincent Price outside of *Edward Scissorhands* so it was fun to see him skulking around in his natural environment. The mystery was sufficiently convoluted and twisty to be fun, and mixing the supernatural horror elements with the parlor mystery and jilted lovers bit paid dividends. There’s plenty of artifacts of the time -- most notably how many times the women are accused of being “hysterical” -- but for the most part its kitschy charms are quite endearing.

I had high expectations for this but I guess I thought it was going to be scary. There is one very memorable shock and it's a good one. Actually, it's more than a fright, it's creepy. But after that there was very little haunting going on. Instead it was about distrust and double-crosses between the guests. It seems the movie is misnamed. Vincent Price really steals the show. He's such a ham, but he's so good at it. Richard Long is also excellent as his normal cool self. I feel the need to point out that Carolyn Craig may make you want to grab ear plugs. Her screams of terror made me cringe several times. This is another relatively successful Vincent Price movie, but almost entirely on the strength of his enormous personality and screen presence.

i enjoyed this movie. Its campy and lots of fun. Actually i was expecting a straight up ghost story, but there's more going on here than that. Vincent Price is very good (nothing unusual there) and the skeleton scene at the end is great!

Poor to me. Although it sounds strange, the remake is better

Excellent movie of the genre. Highly recommended.
