Mr. Loren (Vincent Price) hates his wife. And she hates him. He’s rich as Croesus and she’s his fourth wife. The others all died and the current Mrs. Loren isn’t leaving without his money. All of his money.
So they’d better throw a party, right? Offer five strangers $10,000 if they manage to stay the whole night, implying that something may keep them from doing it. Tell them the house is haunted. Tell them seven people have been murdered there. Set up some scares. Lock down the house at midnight. Now, casually place seven tiny coffins on a table, one for each guest. And they all contain a loaded gun.
It’s a game of who is really gas lighting whom. Who can turn a stranger into a killer? Who can turn a loved one into a corpse?
Oh, and if you watched that newest Rick and Morty episode…THIS is where the trope of falling into a vat of acid and only bones rising up comes from. Now go and impress your friends with knowledge of a black and white film from 1959. They’ll all think you’re so smart.
