🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 Producer William Castle saw the play Dracula, starring *Bela Lugosi*, when he was 13. He loved it and watched performance after performance. He even met Lugosi. Castle, in his autobiography: "I knew then what I wanted to do with my life—I wanted to scare the pants off audiences." #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 There is a special focus on Julie Mitchum's (as Ruth Bridgers) personal large Bahá'i ring. The Director thought it was cool. Julie is Robert's sister. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 Elvira - Mistress of the Dark said in a 1985 interview that tonight's feature was her favorite horror film. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 House on Haunted Hill was a huge box office success and Alfred Hitchcock noticed. It inspired him to make his own low-budget horror film, Psycho (1960). William Castle, in turn, imitated Hitchcock's work in his later films, for example Homicidal (1961). #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 👂Listen for Frederick Loren (Vincent Price) saying, "It's close to midnight, Lance."

REVIEWS!! 2/2

Sting of Death is a "peculiar sci-fi calamity," a movie that is "wrong-headed, absurd, and unintentionally funny" but one that will nonetheless "thrill lovers of trash cinema* and confuse everyone else."

I think the monster could have been more realistic if it had giant knees. #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

@amyfou@lingo.lol 😆 #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️STING OF TRIVIA 🪼😱 Hobart, the actor in the Jellyfish Man costume, said "The monster suit cost about $300 to make" and took about two weeks to complete. Film historian Bryan Senn points out "In fact, it looks just like what it really is—a man in a crusty, dirty wetsuit and flippers, with plastic cords hanging from his shoulders and a clear hefty bag inflated over his head." #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️THE CENTER OF TRIVIA ⏳️🚀😱 Yes, that's Lyle Waggoner as Alien, who was much more famous for being on the Carol Burnett Show. #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime #TimeWarp #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime1967

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 Producer William Castle became famous for gimmicks to pull in young audiences and frighten them. For "House", he rigged a skeleton in theaters that would appear and float over the audience near the end of the film. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

@randy_s@mefi.social Looks refreshing! #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime #TimeWarp #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime1967

REVIEWS!! 1/2

Hawkins is a "wooden heroine" and Morrison a "hard-headed hero," ... the film is an "unimaginative piece of low-budget Science Fiction."

• Phil Hardy, film historian

#Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

Sucks that the space-time continuum is one slim path with two-way traffic. Dangerous. #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime #TimeWarp #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime1967

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ 60's hotel rooms really looked like this. #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966

Two women with clipboards in the back. Not writing anything on their clipboards. #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime #TimeWarp #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime1967

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe In Hollywood Geological time, anything that seems like a long time could contain dinosaurs. And even people. #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime #TimeWarp #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime1967

My analysis of this new laser technology is that it is yet another "advance" that will not in any way improve our defense against Godzilla. https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-take-a-major-step-toward-smaller-cheaper-free-electron-lasers/ #Monsterdon

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 The movie posters, with a woman hanging from a noose and an image of Vincent Price holding a woman's decapitated head by the hair, were very gruesome compared to previous movie advertising. Some newspapers refused to publish them. 1/2 #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 Most of the film was shot on sound stages. Vincent Price supplied several art pieces from his collections for set decoration in the film. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

"Campy and creepy in equal measures, House on Haunted Hill deserves its status as a horror classic."

It is not well known that gemstones in the dinosaur era were precut. #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime #TimeWarp #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime1967

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 2/2 Producer Castle encouraged theaters to play up the fact that the movie was so frightening even the ads couldn't be shown. This added to the films huge box-office. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 How about that opening? Imagine you are a teen in a dark theater back in 1959 listening to those noises on a high-volume theatrical sound system. Pretty scary. It was so powerful that it started the idea of novelty "haunting records" of spooky sounds, sound effects, and music that we use for Halloween, Halloween parties, and haunted house attractions. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

@amyfou@lingo.lol Good point. #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime #TimeWarp #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime1967

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL The historic Ennis House in Los Feliz, California, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1924 was used for exterior shots.
