Ok-I'm not going to go into the plot,here-because it's all been done before-a group of folks are stranded the night in an old dark house,and somebody is picking them off one by one in horrible ways. So-why is this in the GOOD movie section-look who's on the poster!
Vincent Price! Christopher Lee! John Carradine!
Peter Cushing!
And not only do they appear in the film-these are not mere cameos-oh no-they all give full-bloodied (hehe!) performances!
Peter Cushing is very funny-his character has an Elmer Fudd like speech defect (" I think we should weave! We should weave!"-"leave".)
It's always good to hear John Carradine's booming baritone.
Vincent Price is in his element,and Lee is mysterious and commanding-and towards the end-very scary!
I've been wanting to see it for years-and I finally got the chance!
One bad point-Desi Arnez Jr. is one of the WORST actors I've seen this side of BLOOD FREAK.
If you ever get the chance to see this-DO SO! It was on Comet yesterday-if you get Comet-try to catch it-yeah,I know-the rerun the s**t out of there programming once a month-but you can catch some real gems on it! (plus for you MSTK3000 freaks-their gonna start rerunning that show-2 episodes back to back every Sunday. And on Labor Day they got a Godzilla/Japanese monsters marathon!
EDIT-Why are all my sentences underlined??? (https://postimage.org/app.php)

Sorry Brother Ronny: I've got no idea why. :wink:
I wrote a review of this for this site. :smile:
I may have to watch this again; I saw it years ago and was rather disappointed, probably because Mr. Arnaz stunk up everything.
