House On Haunted Hill

Confession time:  I don't know the films of William Castle.  And up until last weekend, I hadn't watched any of them (just the modern remakes of a couple).  I've always been a fan of the 1999 House on Haunted Hill and I have no idea why I never viewed the original.  I'm a huge fan of Vincent Price too.  The only explanation I have would be that I had a notion that Castle's films were all hokey, corny, and silly.  I mentioned this during a conversation with Wren last week and was politely informed I needed to watch it as soon as possible.

It was superb.  And definitely not hokey.  Vincent Price was stunning in it.  I loved the atmosphere, and the building feeling of tension and dread.  The characters are very interesting and well written.  

I found a fan trailer of the film that really does it some amazing justice.  Whoever made this trailer captured the feel of the movie perfectly.

And thanks again, Wren!

Keep Off The Moors

This movie is a classic for a reason.  Click below for a great scene (some language and definitely some violence).  Incidentally, the first howl they hear on the moors is identical to a howl from a neighborhood dog (assumption).  When I hear it at night on a walk, I always say "Aw, shit, David.  What IS that?" to no one.
