Haunted house! wouldn't catch me there!

Advantages: A classic, quite good effects for its time
Disadvantages: its in black and white

...to stay in their haunted house for the night. If they manage to stay the night each person will recieve $10 000! The only thing is that there are fhosts in the house. From the people who were murdered there before. Each of the people who were murdered were murdered in different rooms by a different mean. * Special effects* When i watched it i was surpised how good the effects are for an old film. They aren't as fake looking as i thought they would ...
...are very fake. But the effects aren't really that bad. But in the film they didn't use many effects because it is left more to your mind. *music* i think this is what made it a bit jumpy. The music is used really well to make you jump a little bit which is a good thing since it is a horror film. with this film i thought it was sort of scary. but since it was released in 1959 we have moved on a bit with effects so this didn't make it that scary. ...

Review of House On Haunted Hill (DVD)

Haunted House on a Hill

Advantages: Brilliant for its time and today
Disadvantages: Rather short, Only 71 minutes

House on Haunted Hill was made in 1959 by William Castle a prolific director of horror films including the original Rosemary's Daughter and 13 Ghosts. It is definitely one of the best horror films of all time. The film starts and are introduced to Watson Pritchard the owner of the house. He ominously informs us of the houses history. How his brother and sister--in-law have been murdered there along with 5 other people. Then we meet Mr. Loren (played ...

Putting The Meat In Art

Advantages: Hysterically funny
Disadvantages: No chapter marks

...than anything though I love a good horror; from time to time how ever the genre becomes tired and a bad horror is often quite acceptable. Bucket Of Blood is one of those movies that's so bad its good; its nonsense, bobbins in fact but it really brightens my day. Walter cleans tables in the Yellow Door Coffee House, the Yellow Door is where all the cool cats hang out, cool cats that say cool things like "wowser" and "you're the cats meooooow". No ...
...talented and sets about making a name for himself in his art. From sculptures of cats to sculptures of people over night Walter becomes the hippest thing around. Trouble being its not Walters art that's wrong its what goes into them. Made in glorious black and white Roger Corman's Bucket Of Blood is one of his better movies. Yes it is naff, but it's got a really jolly side to it too, if you have had the mis-fortune of seeing any other Corman movies ...
