• Plot: If an eccentric millionaire were to offer you a large sum of money for you to spend the night in a haunted house, you might think to yourself, 'How did I wind up in an episode of Scooby Doo? Or perhaps Simpson's Halloween special? Or any one of the countless TV shows or movies that have employed this hackneyed plot device?'; ; But every cliche has its origins somewhere, and House on Haunted Hill may be the very first movie where a random assortment of guests are summoned to a haunted house. In this case the haunted house happens to reside in the Haunted Hill distric of town, and it's presided over by a ghoulish master of ceremonies played by Vincent Price. Murder, mayhem and clumsy romance ensue.
