Entertainment Reviews:
If one had to pick the best of the campy horror films that made [Castle's] reputation, this 1958 feature would probably be it.

Chicago Reader
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.

Variety
Rating: B+ --
"House" is a William Castle production, and you know what that means. Gimmicky, but fun horror bits. Scary? Not really. Entertaining? Very much so.

Movie Chambers
William Castle was better known for his gimmicks than for his films, but this haunted house chiller is actually very good.

Rating: 3/5 --
There's no denying that Castle's directorial crassness does actually supply some genuinely frightening moments.

Radio Times
A stale spook concoction from the William Castle-Robb White production team.

New York Times
The film has a genuinely creepy atmosphere and boasts at least one leap-outa-your-seat shock moment.

Product Description:
Vincent Price has one of his juiciest roles in this haunted-house thriller as millionaire playboy Frederick Loren, who invites five guests out to a genuine haunted house, offering them each $10,000 if they spend the night. Elisha Cook Jr. plays one of the guests, a nervous alcoholic who has been in this house before and witnessed some terrible things. Mr. Loren's beautiful but treacherous wife (Carol Ohmart) is also present--and might be out to kill Frederick during the course of the evening; then again, he might be out to kill her. Severed heads, a skeleton, an acid vat, ghostly screams, and a noose that creeps around on its own and strangles unsuspecting victims are just some of the treats in a film that has been spooking delighted audiences on late-night TV for decades. Producer-director William Castle (THE TINGLER) claimed this was filmed in a process called Emergo, which meant that at a key moment a glow-in-the-dark skeleton on a wire was rigged to sail over the audience's heads. The skeleton is long since gone, but the goofy thrills remain in this classic tale, from a script by Robb White.
