The Legend Of Hell House is in the tradition of The Haunting of Hill House. Four psychic investigators are called on to spend a week in the mount Everest of Haunted houses, the Belasco House, to prove or disprove life after death.
Ben Fischer (Roddy McDowall) has investigated the house before, and was the only survivor last time, he knows of the existence of paranormal activity there. Scientist Lionel Barrett (Clive Revill) believes that he can trace the happenings to rational explanations involving electric current, Florence Tanner (Pamela Franklin) is convinced that, if spirits exists, she will be able to communicate with them, and Clives wife Ann (Gayle Hunnicutt) is ripe for possession!
The Legend Of Hell House was made in 1973, and IMHO is one of the best horror movies of the seventies, I have seen it several times, and its gets better and better! There are less then 10 people in the movie but is far from budget, the external shots of the house look very familiar to UK horror fans! Great movie.
Here is the trailer, but it doesn't do the movie justice...
I collect DVDs, we have over 3,000 titles in the house now! I buy most from Car Boot Sales,Poundshops, markets, sales, and greatly reduced from the internet, but I only buy what I want to watch! I do a short report when I watch them, I got rid of almost 800 titles at Christmas 2010 (low score, duplicates, ones I'd never watch etc.) I continue to wade through them, and appear to be buying slightly less, but still watching like mad :)
