HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL: 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.&newline;&newline;THE LAST MAN ON EARTH: Based on
Richard Matheson's SF thriller I AM LEGEND, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH
is about a man who survives a global plague only to be stalked
nightly by zombielike victims who call out his name. Vincent Price
stars as Robert Morgan, a scientist who tried desperately to come
up with a cure for an airborne virus that was killing people around
the globe. Although he could not develop a serum in time to save
his family, he himself seems to be immune from the disease. Thus,
he is left to wander the streets by day, staking zombies, then
barricading himself in his house each night as the zombies try to
break in and kill him. Price is excellent in the role, going about
his horrible business as if it were just another day: waking up and
eating breakfast, putting on a suit, calmly staking the zombies,
making dinner, listening to records at night. But when he suddenly
sees what looks like another living soul out in the daylight, his
world is suddenly turned inside out.
