I blame Vincent Price for the majority of the nightmares I had as a child. In this movie he plays host to a group of people invited to a mansion. If they make it through the night alive and well they will each be given $10,000! (I guess this was a lot of cash in the late 1950’s.) The group chosen are the typical bunch - let’s see, there’s the doctor, a pretty boy, the untainted virgin, a boozer, and a creepy old fool. Vincent is married to a bodacious blonde bombshell who is only with him for his fortune. This movie has some shocking special effects - hanging skeletons, vats of acid, bloody heads hidden in suitcases, creepy looking servants, and even pianos that play by themselves. This is scary stuff I tell you! Who lives? Who dies? Who cares? It's definitely a party movie. Invite your buddies over, blend up some margaritas, make some popcorn and get ready for some scary fun.Click here for more information about this cult classic.

Great review! You are absolutely correct; this is a true black and white horror classic! This is one of my favorite old time movies. I also own a copy!
Thanks Jesse. It's one of my favorites too. I should get my own copy to add to my DVD collection.
