No frills haunted house movie that takes the oldest story in the book (where did it originate!) : millionaire invites a selection of strangers to the house, promising them $10,000 if they can make it to morning.Carol Ohmart, playing Vincent Price's wife, is a gorgeous, healthy 50s blonde and their bitchy back and forth is quite endearing. Did she poison the champagne? Is he going to kill her with the cork? Hey, why is there a vat of acid in the basement again?
But a real question: in this cheap ass Vincent Price Collection from "St Clair Visions" whatever the devil that is (sounds like a medieval nun), why is the 3rd movie The Bat not a Vincent Price flick but the original from 1928? Do cheap "collections" do this on purpose to save dough? This would also explain why my Lee Van Cleef box set does not in fact contain The Satanic Mechanic, as promised! I am bound to wander this earth forever until I find that one.
