William Castle was better known for his gimmicks than for his films, but this haunted house chiller is actually very good.

The film has a genuinely creepy atmosphere and boasts at least one leap-outa-your-seat shock moment.

A stale spook concoction from the William Castle-Robb White production team.

Still a classic after the wretched remake, Price's horror film is still fun, even during the cheesy climax.

There's no denying that Castle's directorial crassness does actually supply some genuinely frightening moments.

If one had to pick the best of the campy horror films that made [Castle's] reputation, this 1958 feature would probably be it.

A meticulous homage to Clovis Trouille

Dumb and corny and reliant to a ludicrous degree on Price's withering sarcasm, but it not only knows what it is, it loves being what it is.

Vincent Price with a great performance

There is some good humor in the dialog which not only pays off well against the ghostly elements, but provides a release for laughter so it does not explode in the suspense sequences.

Silly, but good fun.
