[House On Haunted Hill,] unlike the majority of recent horror films which have depended on mutilations or monsters for chills, reverts to the fundamental of the ghost story -- fear of the unknown.

There is some good humor in the dialog which not only pays off well against the ghostly elements, but provides a release for laughter so it does not explode in the suspense sequences.

If one had to pick the best of the campy horror films that made [Castle's] reputation, this 1958 feature would probably be it.
September 24, 2007 | Full Review… -
A stale spook concoction from the William Castle-Robb White production team.
March 25, 2006 | Full Review… -
...the device, however, is more ludicrous than exciting. As a haunted-house yarn, the film rates "fair," but no higher.
November 5, 2019 | Full Review… -
...a far-from-classic misfire from an exceedingly erratic director.

Oct 12, 2016I was pleasantly reminded of the glory that is Vincent Price. Vincent Price is yet again type casted in a haunting tale. price's acting alone will have you on the edge of your seat and the jump scares are excellently surprising.Jessica S Super Reviewer

Nov 15, 2014So silly and campy that it is likely to provoke more unintentional laughter than chills, given its complete disdain for realism, coherence and plausibility - like nobody able to hear a woman screaming that loud in the house or the ludicrous details involving the twist in the end.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Sep 08, 2014A wealthy man offers $10,000 to whomever can spend one whole night in this supposedly haunted house. Why is it thought to be haunted? Seven people have previously died there, died mysteriously. And so a group shows up in a go for the gold, but William Castle, the famous schlock horror director, has more in his mind than simply that. There's plenty of drive-in creepy mood. Vincent Price is certainly ominous, and that's expected, no, but I think it's Elisha Cook Jr.'s raving paranoid naysayer that puts this mere whodunit into horror territory and on edge. See it for that. Then consider for yourself how much the value of any property is increased when there's an acid bath included in the basement.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

May 26, 2012The film gets way too convoluted for it's own good at the end, but it remains a rather timeless campy horror flick. The cast gives generally serviceable performances but Vincent Price inevitably steals the show.Christopher H Super Reviewer
