Who wants to wait until the 31st to wallow in Halloween indulgences and scary movies?! Home Projectionist doesn’t! And so we’ll have pairings of 31 Frights and 31 Bites every one of October’s 31 nights: a scary, snack size movie “trick”, and a delicious “treat” to go along with it.
Trick & Treat for October 7th:
HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959; Vincent Price; directed by William Castle) Debonair millionaire Fredrick Loren (Price) is having a birthday party for his fourth wife, Annabelle. Since it is well known that Fredrick and Annabelle’s house on the hill has been the site of seven (give or take) horrible deaths, Fredrick is compelled to offer invitees an incentive to RSVP besides the birthday cake. The enticement: $10,000 in cash for each of the five, if they’ll spend the entire night. Feeling it’s better to receive than to give, they accept Fredrick’s generosity, and the five guests gather at the house. When midnight arrives, the doors of the Loren home are locked tight, and the dour party games begin. In light of the fact that Fredrick parts with only $50,000 and not 100, we suggest eating only one-half of your 100 Grand candy bar, and save the other 50 grand to consume tomorrow. If, that is, you make it through the night…
