Short filmTranscript
00:00:30The ghosts are moving tonight, restless, hungry.
00:00:53May I introduce myself?
00:00:55I'm Watson Pritchard.
00:00:56In just a minute, I'll show you the only really haunted house in the world.
00:01:04Since it was built a century ago, seven people, including my brother, have been murdered in it.
00:01:11Since then, I've owned the house.
00:01:13I've only spent one night there, and when they found me in the morning, I was almost dead.
00:01:20I'm Frederick Lauren, and I've rented the house on Haunted Hill tonight so that my wife can give a party.
00:01:38A haunted house party.
00:01:39She's so amusing.
00:01:43There'll be food and drink and ghosts, and perhaps even a few murders.
00:01:49You're all invited.
00:01:51If any of you will spend the next 12 hours in this house, I'll give you each $10,000.
00:01:57Or your next of kin, in case you don't survive.
00:02:00Ah, but here come our other guests.
00:02:07It was my wife's idea to have our guests come in funeral cars.
00:02:13She's so amusing.
00:02:15Her sense of humor is, shall we say, original.
00:02:18I dreamed of the hearse.
00:02:20It's empty now, but after a night in the house on Haunted Hill.
00:02:25Who knows?
00:02:28This is Lance Schroeder, a test pilot.
00:02:30So no doubt a brave man.
00:02:33But don't you think you can be much braver if you're paid for it?
00:02:36And I happen to know that Lance needs the $10,000 I'll give him.
00:02:40If he's brave enough to stay all night.
00:02:43This is Ruth Bridges.
00:02:45You've no doubt read her column in the newspapers.
00:02:48She says her reason for coming to the party is to write a feature article on ghosts.
00:02:53She's also desperate for money.
00:02:56Gambles.
00:02:58You've already met Watson Pritchard.
00:03:01A man living in mortal fear of a house,
00:03:03and yet he is risking his life to spend another night here.
00:03:06I wonder why.
00:03:08He says for money.
00:03:11This is Dr. David Trent, a psychiatrist.
00:03:14He claims that my ghost will help his work on hysteria.
00:03:19But don't you see a little touch of greed there?
00:03:23Around the mouth and eyes.
00:03:27This is Nora Manning.
00:03:29I picked her from the thousands of people who work for me
00:03:32because she needed the $10,000 more than most.
00:03:35Supports her whole family.
00:03:36Isn't she pretty?
00:03:42The party's starting now,
00:03:45and you have until midnight to find the house on Haunted Hill.
00:03:49the people who work for me,
00:03:56and you have to find the house on Dienst Moon.
00:04:05What happened and you don't have a house on it?
00:04:08Well,
00:04:09it is just a informative inclusive of the world.
00:04:09Let me know.
00:04:11Before we get rid of money...
00:04:11before we come through...
00:04:13...
00:04:15but what happened because he had come to pain...
00:04:16Oh, my God.
00:04:46Oh, my God.
00:05:16Oh, my God.
00:05:46Oh, my God.
00:06:16Oh, my God.
00:06:46Do you two know each other?
00:06:47I'm afraid I don't even know your name.
00:06:49I'm Nora Manning.
00:06:50Lance Schroeder.
00:06:52Is Frederick Lauren a friend of yours?
00:06:55I've heard of him, but I've never met him.
00:06:57I work for one of his companies, but I've never seen him.
00:07:00I've never met the man either.
00:07:01Just a phone call.
00:07:03Do you know him?
00:07:04No.
00:07:06Well, then you're the only one of us who does.
00:07:08I don't know him.
00:07:10All the details about running the house were done by mail.
00:07:13He's quite wealthy, isn't he?
00:07:14Millions.
00:07:14And five wives, I believe.
00:07:17Four, I think, so far.
00:07:20A $50,000 party for only five people is a little steep, even for a millionaire.
00:07:28Well, if I were going to haunt anybody, this would certainly be the house I'd do it in.
00:07:31Who closed the door?
00:07:47This thing's made of solid steel.
00:08:01This thing's made of solid steel.
00:08:02This thing's made of solid steel.
00:08:20Annabelle.
00:08:22Our guests are here, unfortunately, still alive.
00:08:25Is your face on yet?
00:08:26Dust and dirt everywhere, and the water barely trickles.
00:08:34Couldn't you have had the place cleaned?
00:08:36The atmosphere, darling, you know how ghosts are.
00:08:38They never tidy up.
00:08:40And that's a very fetching outfit, but hardly suitable for a party.
00:08:44I'm not going to the party.
00:08:46This spend-the-night ghost party was your idea, remember?
00:08:49Since it's going to cost me $50,000, I want you to have fun.
00:08:52The party was my idea until you invited all the guests.
00:08:57Why all these strangers?
00:08:58Why none of our friends?
00:09:00Friends?
00:09:01Do we have any friends?
00:09:02No, your jealousy took care of that.
00:09:05I had a reason for inviting each guest.
00:09:08I wanted kind of a cross-section.
00:09:11From psychiatrist to typist, and from drunk to jet pilot.
00:09:16They share one thing.
00:09:18They all need money.
00:09:20Now let's see if they're brave enough to earn it.
00:09:23And you call this a party?
00:09:25Could be.
00:09:31Why do you always do that?
00:09:33It spoils the champagne.
00:09:34It might explode.
00:09:36Never does.
00:09:39Would you guarantee that?
00:09:40That isn't funny, Frederick.
00:09:43Make a good headline.
00:09:45Playboy kills wife with champagne cork.
00:09:49Will you join me?
00:09:51No, thank you.
00:09:53Just a sip might improve your humor.
00:09:56My humor is fine, thanks.
00:09:58And I haven't poisoned it.
00:10:00Well, it's always good to know that.
00:10:08Have some.
00:10:09You'll enjoy the party more.
00:10:13Go on.
00:10:13Your trust is so touching.
00:10:24And I'm not going to the party.
00:10:27Of all my wives, you're the least agreeable.
00:10:29But still alive.
00:10:31Hmm.
00:10:32Would you go away for a million dollars, tax-free?
00:10:35You want it all, don't you?
00:10:38I deserve it all.
00:10:40Your jealousy isn't tax-free.
00:10:43And your possessiveness is maddening.
00:10:46If ever a man had grounds for divorce.
00:10:50That can't prove them.
00:10:51The time will come.
00:10:53You'll slip up one of these days.
00:10:56Think so?
00:10:57If I live long enough.
00:10:59You remember the fun we had when you poisoned me?
00:11:04Something you ate, the doctor said.
00:11:07Yes.
00:11:08Arsenic on the rocks.
00:11:11Annabelle.
00:11:13You'd do it again if you thought you could get away with it, wouldn't you?
00:11:16Darling, what makes you think that?
00:11:19Something about you.
00:11:24I hear that hanging is very uncomfortable,
00:11:26in case you get any more ideas.
00:11:28Don't let the ghosts and the ghouls disturb you, darling.
00:11:33Darling, the only ghoul in the house is you.
00:11:37And don't sit up all night,
00:11:39thinking of ways to get rid of me.
00:11:41It makes wrinkles.
00:11:42This is what she used on my brother and her sister.
00:12:01Hacked them to pieces.
00:12:02We found parts of the bodies all over the house.
00:12:05In places you wouldn't think.
00:12:07The funny thing is, the heads have never been found.
00:12:10Hands and feet and things like that.
00:12:13But no heads.
00:12:15The wife, probably in a rage, threatened her husband with a knife
00:12:18and then carried away by hysteria,
00:12:20took a swing at him and simply went on from there.
00:12:22She certainly went on.
00:12:23How many people did she kill, Mr. Pritchard?
00:12:25Only two.
00:12:27Her husband and her sister.
00:12:28No one else was here.
00:12:30So there are two loose heads just floating around in here somewhere?
00:12:33You can hear them at night.
00:12:35They whisper to each other.
00:12:37And then cry.
00:12:39Since our host isn't here,
00:12:41would anyone care to mix me a drink?
00:12:44Certainly.
00:12:44What will you have?
00:12:45Good evening.
00:12:52I'm your host, Frederick Lauren.
00:12:55Since we're all strangers to each other,
00:12:58let's get acquainted with a drink, shall we?
00:13:00Mr. Lauren,
00:13:01I advise you to call this party off now.
00:13:04The ghosts are already moving and that's a bad sign.
00:13:07Let me apologize for my wife.
00:13:09She'll join us later.
00:13:10What have you had?
00:13:11Got it.
00:13:12Doctor?
00:13:12I'll have the same.
00:13:13Now, before the party begins,
00:13:17let's go over the details.
00:13:19The caretakers will leave at midnight,
00:13:22locking us in here until they come back in the morning.
00:13:26Once the door is locked, there's no way out.
00:13:29The windows have bars that a jail would be proud of,
00:13:33and the only door to the outside locks like a vault.
00:13:36There's no electricity,
00:13:38no phone,
00:13:40no one within miles,
00:13:41so no way to call for help.
00:13:45Like a coffin.
00:13:50So, if any of you decide not to stay for the party,
00:13:53you must let me know before midnight.
00:13:55Of course, if you leave,
00:13:56I shan't be able to pay you anything.
00:13:59I'm interested in your reasons for this, uh,
00:14:03party.
00:14:05Aside from pleasant company.
00:14:08Ghosts, Doctor.
00:14:10I think everyone wonders what they would do if they saw a ghost.
00:14:16And now my wife has given us all the opportunity to find out.
00:14:20Amusing.
00:14:21Ghosts, etc.,
00:14:23being only creations of hysteria,
00:14:25your party should be a success.
00:14:28Well, Pritchard here promises us genuine ghosts.
00:14:31Seven now.
00:14:33Maybe more before morning.
00:14:36That's cheerful.
00:14:38Four men have been murdered in this house.
00:14:41And three women.
00:14:43You planned your party very well, Mr. Lauren.
00:14:45Four of us are men.
00:14:47Three are women.
00:14:49Well, it goes for everybody.
00:14:51Well, Pritchard,
00:14:52why don't you take us on a tour through the house
00:14:54and let's see what happens, huh?
00:15:05See that stain?
00:15:08Blood.
00:15:08A young girl was killed here.
00:15:13And whatever got her wasn't human.
00:15:15Don't stand there.
00:15:16What do you mean?
00:15:16Where?
00:15:29It's too late.
00:15:30They've marked you.
00:15:32Ridiculous.
00:15:33The roof probably leaks.
00:15:34Oh, that must be what it is.
00:15:36Who would want to haunt me?
00:15:37I would say any self-respecting male ghost.
00:15:40I hope it doesn't come back.
00:15:42Well, Mr. Pritchard,
00:15:43you're the life of the party.
00:15:44He hasn't even started yet.
00:15:46Wasn't there a man
00:15:47who threw his wife
00:15:48into a wine vat or something?
00:15:50That was in the cellar.
00:15:51There's been a murder
00:15:52almost every place in this house.
00:16:07And all this belonged to a Mr. Norton,
00:16:13who didn't die here.
00:16:15He was electrocuted later.
00:16:20Mr. Norton did a good deal of experimenting with wines.
00:16:25But his wife didn't think it was any good.
00:16:27So he filled the vat with acid
00:16:30and threw her in.
00:16:32She was supposed to stay down.
00:16:35But the bones came up.
00:16:38It's a funny thing.
00:16:41But none of the murders here
00:16:42were just ordinary.
00:16:45Just shooting
00:16:46or stabbing.
00:16:49They've all been
00:16:50sort of wild.
00:16:52Violent
00:16:52different.
00:16:54Look out!
00:16:56Thank God, she didn't fall in.
00:16:59You mean there's still acid in there?
00:17:22It destroys everything
00:17:26with hair and flesh.
00:17:29It just leaves the bones.
00:17:43My, it's dry and dusty down here.
00:17:47Well, there's a
00:17:49a cure for that upstairs.
00:17:52Come on.
00:17:52How'd you get invited
00:18:07to this party?
00:18:09No.
00:18:11No, go on.
00:18:13I mean, what'd he tell you?
00:18:18Mr. Lorne
00:18:18said everybody
00:18:19would get $10,000.
00:18:20But he didn't say anything
00:18:22about being locked in.
00:18:24No.
00:18:25He just made a deal
00:18:26with me on the phone
00:18:27but nothing about having to stay.
00:18:31Aren't you gonna stay?
00:18:33If I don't,
00:18:34I lose $10,000.
00:18:37I'm gonna stay too.
00:18:39$10,000.
00:18:41Yeah.
00:18:44You believe in ghosts?
00:18:45I don't know.
00:18:46I don't know.
00:18:47Well, I agree with what that doc says.
00:18:50You can spook yourself.
00:18:52I've done it in planes.
00:18:53Seen things that weren't really there.
00:18:56Or were they?
00:18:59What are you gonna do with your $10,000?
00:19:01If we get it?
00:19:02What do you mean, if we get it?
00:19:04Won't he pay us if we stay?
00:19:06Ah, sure he will.
00:19:08$10,000 is no more to him than a nickel is to us.
00:19:10We were in an automobile accident.
00:19:14Now I'm the only one in the family
00:19:15who can make any money.
00:19:18Boy, I've never seen so many doors.
00:19:27Closet.
00:19:28Bottles.
00:19:40Bottles.
00:19:40Does it go anywhere?
00:19:59Lance!
00:20:01Lance!
00:20:03Lance!
00:20:05Lance!
00:20:07Lance!
00:20:09Lance!
00:20:37Lance, please.
00:20:41Lance has taken his hand.
00:20:43Lance has made a ghost.
00:20:45I'll let you go.
00:20:47Lance has made a ghost.
00:20:50You've been staring at me!
00:20:52Oh, my god!
00:20:54What did you do?
00:20:57I don't know.
00:21:00That's right.
00:21:01I don't know.
00:21:03I don't know.
00:21:05Lance is gone, and there's a ghost.
00:21:07You see what I mean?
00:21:08Please, come on.
00:21:10Did she say Lance is gone?
00:21:12Gone where?
00:21:22We'll have to break it down, it's not.
00:21:35You all right?
00:21:40Nothing that money won't cure.
00:21:43I must have bumped my head.
00:21:46The only way you could bump your head in here...
00:21:49is to run head on into the wall.
00:21:52You didn't do that, did you?
00:21:55Let's get a bandage on that.
00:22:05I wonder why they didn't kill him.
00:22:10Who?
00:22:11He didn't bump his head.
00:22:14They hit him.
00:22:16They?
00:22:35I don't know.
00:22:36Nora, when you came in you said something about a ghost.
00:22:41There was something.
00:22:42What did it look like?
00:22:44Well, it was wearing a black thing that went all the way to the floor.
00:22:49Weren't you a little frightened at the time?
00:22:52Well, yes.
00:22:54That, Miss DeLoren, is hysteria.
00:22:57Then, Doctor, how do you explain what happened to Lance?
00:23:00Was that hysteria too?
00:23:05You'd better get that checked in a day or so.
00:23:08Thanks, Doc.
00:23:16Wait for me in the hall.
00:23:23The ghosts are coming closer, Mr. Loren.
00:23:26You really believe in your pet ghosts, don't you, Pritchin?
00:23:29Before the night's over, you will too.
00:23:32Wouldn't you like a drink, Lance?
00:23:34All right, no thanks.
00:23:35I'd like one.
00:23:36Scotch and.
00:23:45Mr. Loren, are you really going to pay anyone who stays all night?
00:23:48Certainly.
00:23:49$10,000.
00:23:50Will there be much red tape or delay?
00:23:53You in a hurry, dear?
00:23:55Frankly, yes.
00:23:57Or frantically.
00:23:59There you are, my dear.
00:24:00Someone or something was in here when I came in.
00:24:14But where?
00:24:15And if the door was locked, how did it get out?
00:24:29What you saw might have been a ghost, Nora, but what was in here with me was no ghost.
00:24:33I don't know.
00:24:34I was so scared.
00:24:35Does that sound different to you?
00:24:36Yes.
00:24:37I don't know.
00:24:38I don't know.
00:24:39I was so scared.
00:24:52Does that sound different to you?
00:24:53Yes.
00:24:54Three, six, nine, twelve.
00:25:08Twelve feet.
00:25:12Three, six.
00:25:13Now, I'm going to knock on the other wall.
00:25:14When you hear me, you knock on this wall.
00:25:15Tap, lower down.
00:25:16Tap.
00:25:17Lower down.
00:25:18Tap.
00:25:19Tap.
00:25:20Tap.
00:25:21Tap.
00:25:22Tap.
00:25:23Tap.
00:25:24Tap.
00:25:25Tap.
00:25:26Tap.
00:25:27Tap.
00:25:29Tap.
00:25:30Tap.
00:25:31Tap.
00:25:32Tap.
00:25:33Tap.
00:25:34Tap.
00:25:35Tap.
00:25:36Tap.
00:25:37Tap.
00:25:38Tap.
00:25:39Tap.
00:25:40Tap.
00:25:41Tap.
00:25:42Tap.
00:25:43Tap.
00:25:44Tap.
00:25:45Tap.
00:25:49Tap.
00:25:50Tap.
00:25:51Tap.
00:25:52Tap.
00:25:53There!
00:25:54Oh.
00:25:55Oh, Wes!
00:25:56I saw it again.
00:26:09Where did it come from?
00:26:10What if it ran out of here, I'd have seen it.
00:26:13Lance, it doesn't run, it just floats.
00:26:17Yeah, but why didn't I see it?
00:26:21You don't believe me.
00:26:24Well, can I?
00:26:40I'm Annabelle Lauren.
00:26:58You must be Miss Manning.
00:27:00I realize this is a very unusual and I'm afraid very dull party.
00:27:04Wouldn't you like to freshen up?
00:27:10This is your room. Depressing, isn't it?
00:27:21I doubt if I'll spend much time here.
00:27:24It's going to rain.
00:27:26Perfect atmosphere for my husband's party.
00:27:32Why did you come here?
00:27:34He said he'd give me $10,000.
00:27:37Why did he pick you?
00:27:39I don't know. My supervisor just came and said I'd been invited.
00:27:47How long have you known my husband?
00:27:49I just met him tonight.
00:27:51So?
00:27:54Why you?
00:27:56What were you doing wandering around by yourself?
00:28:03Well, I was in the cellar with Lance, Mr. Schroeder, and...
00:28:08I just left, that's all.
00:28:11Don't do it again.
00:28:13Don't go anywhere in this house by yourself.
00:28:17I'll fix your face and I'll come by for you in a few minutes.
00:28:21But I...
00:28:22You're in danger.
00:28:24We all are.
00:28:26But who?
00:28:28I hope for your sake you never find out.
00:28:30I'm Annabelle Lauren.
00:28:45Are you looking for something?
00:28:47Not exactly.
00:28:48Are you the doctor?
00:28:49No. No, I'm Lance Schroeder.
00:28:51The pilot.
00:28:52You've hurt yourself.
00:28:53Oh, it's just a bump on the head.
00:28:58Which is my room?
00:28:59I believe this is it.
00:29:02Thank you, Mrs. Lauren.
00:29:05Annabelle, Lance.
00:29:18You were with the young girl in the cellar. Why was she so upset?
00:29:21Was she?
00:29:22And you don't look like the type to go around bumping his head.
00:29:25What really happened, Lance?
00:29:27Well, Nora thought she saw a ghost, but I didn't see anything.
00:29:32She was just frightened then.
00:29:33Ann mad at me.
00:29:34I think I kidded her about it.
00:29:37I wouldn't joke about anything else that happens here tonight.
00:29:40Now, don't tell me you're taking all this seriously.
00:29:44Aren't you?
00:29:45Well, I'd like to find out what hit me.
00:29:49Lance.
00:29:53If I need help, may I count on you?
00:29:55Sure, I guess so.
00:30:00Look, what's going on here, anyway?
00:30:02I mean, what is with this party, Biff?
00:30:04This is no party. He's planning something.
00:30:07Your husband?
00:30:08I wish I knew what it was.
00:30:10Must be pretty big if he's gonna lay out 50,000.
00:30:13The money doesn't mean anything.
00:30:15He has a reason for getting us all up here to this dreadful old house.
00:30:19Well, what for? He doesn't even know us.
00:30:21Maybe that's exactly why you're here.
00:30:23Well, what can he get away with?
00:30:27Oh, he thinks that big money like his can get away with anything.
00:30:30You know, of course, that I'm his fourth wife.
00:30:33The first simply disappeared.
00:30:36The other two died.
00:30:38Lance, I don't want to join them.
00:30:44You mean he, uh...
00:30:45All his doctors said they died of heart attacks.
00:30:49Two girls.
00:30:51In their 20s.
00:30:53Well, what can he do?
00:30:55My husband is sometimes insane with jealousy.
00:30:57Nothing matters to him then.
00:31:00Please be careful.
00:31:02Would he hurt you?
00:31:03He would kill me if he could.
00:31:05He would kill me if he could.
00:31:06He would kill me if he could.
00:31:07Won't you?
00:31:08We can't.
00:31:09I'm sorry.
00:31:10Can you tell me?
00:31:11I'm there.
00:31:12Yes, of course.
00:31:13I'll leave you alone.
00:31:15I'll leave you alone.
00:31:16I'll leave you alone.
00:31:18Bye.
00:31:19Annabel, you're missing all the fun.
00:31:20Annabelle, you're missing all the fun.
00:31:31Nora Manning was almost killed by a falling chandelier.
00:31:34The pilot bashed his head in.
00:31:36Is he badly hurt?
00:31:37The Saturnine psychiatrist bandaged him up.
00:31:41Don't you want to go and console him?
00:31:43As you do most men in your fashion.
00:31:47You're so clever, Frederick.
00:31:48Yes, I lie awake nights wondering why I married you.
00:31:52It was rather a mistake.
00:31:54You didn't marry me, dear. I married you.
00:31:56Unpleasant, but no mistake.
00:32:00Hurry up.
00:32:01Frederick, for the last time, I'm not going to your party.
00:32:05And for the last time, it's not my party, but yours.
00:32:09And you are going.
00:32:12I am not.
00:32:14Are you ready, dear?
00:32:15No.
00:32:16Are you ready, dear?
00:32:18Yes, damn you.
00:32:21Would you adore me as much if I were poor?
00:32:24No.
00:32:25All you want to be is a lovely widow.
00:32:29It's almost time to lock up the house.
00:32:32Then your party will really begin.
00:32:36I wonder how it'll end.
00:32:37It's close to midnight, Lance.
00:32:59Okay.
00:33:00I'll be down in a minute.
00:33:01Who is it?
00:33:09Your host, my dear.
00:33:13It's almost midnight, Nora.
00:33:14We're all going to get together down in the living room.
00:33:17All right, Mr. Lloyd.
00:33:18I'll be right down.
00:33:19I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:20I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:21I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:21I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:22I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:22I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:23I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:24I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:24I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:25I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:25I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:26I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:27I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:28I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:29I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:30I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:31I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:32I'll be right down in the living room.
00:33:33Ah!
00:33:34Ah!
00:33:36Ah!
00:34:03Come with us.
00:34:05Come with us before he kills you.
00:34:21Ah!
00:34:22Ah!
00:34:23Ah!
00:34:24Ah!
00:34:25Ah!
00:34:26Ah!
00:34:27Ah!
00:34:28Ah!
00:34:29Ah!
00:34:34Where's Nora?
00:34:35Miss Manning?
00:34:42I don't want to stay here.
00:34:44Nora, what happened?
00:34:56That's Jonas Slides and his wife.
00:34:59They've been caretakers here for years.
00:35:02She's blind, you know.
00:35:04I'm not going to stay here.
00:35:09Well, Doctor, it looks like we have a real case of hysteria on our hands.
00:35:13I think she's just a little upset.
00:35:15Not hysterical.
00:35:23Good evening.
00:35:25Hello, my dear.
00:35:26This is my wife.
00:35:27These are our guests.
00:35:28Ruth Bridges.
00:35:29Dr. Trent.
00:35:30You know Watson Pritchard, of course.
00:35:31Nora Manning.
00:35:32And, ah, this is Lance Schroeder.
00:35:34Get me out of here.
00:35:35Now, what about the 10,000?
00:35:36I don't care.
00:35:37He wants to kill me.
00:35:38Who wants to kill you?
00:35:39Mr. Lorne.
00:35:41May I have your attention, please?
00:35:42I think you all remember the bargain we made about staying all night.
00:35:45What about the 10,000?
00:35:46I don't care.
00:35:47He wants to kill me.
00:35:48Who wants to kill you?
00:35:49Mr. Lorne.
00:35:50May I have your attention, please?
00:35:51I think you all remember the bargain we made about staying all night.
00:36:05$10,000 a piece.
00:36:07If any of you don't survive, $50,000 will be divided amongst the rest of you.
00:36:13If I should die...
00:36:15you will be paid by my estate.
00:36:18When the door is locked from the outside by the caretakers,
00:36:21we'll all be forced to stay in this house until morning.
00:36:24If any of you decide not to stay, you must leave with the caretakers now.
00:36:27You won't have a chance to change your minds later.
00:36:30Because there'll be no way to get out.
00:36:32I don't want to stay.
00:36:33Wait.
00:36:34Wait.
00:37:00Oh...
00:37:01It isn't midnight yet.
00:37:05Who told them they could leave?
00:37:06They never leave before midnight.
00:37:07They've gone now.
00:37:10I was going to ask you whether you wanted to stay or not,
00:37:13but it seems that the caretakers have made the decision for you.
00:37:17We're all locked in now.
00:37:19But I don't want to stay.
00:37:20I'm sorry, my dear, but it's too late now.
00:37:24Darling, haven't you had enough of this silly game?
00:37:27Get some cars up here for these people and let them go home.
00:37:30But pay them first.
00:37:34This is your party, remember.
00:37:39In spite of my wife's faith in my ability to do the impossible,
00:37:43we will all have to stay in this house until 8 o'clock in the morning.
00:37:47But we have some party favors for you in these little coffins.
00:37:57This is my wife's idea.
00:37:58I must say, I think it's rather dangerous.
00:38:02I suppose you all know how to use one of these things,
00:38:05but in case you don't,
00:38:06you just press down on this lever with your thumb
00:38:09and then pull the trigger.
00:38:14You see, they're loaded.
00:38:17These are no good against the dead, only the living.
00:38:22Doctor?
00:38:25Lance?
00:38:32Nora?
00:38:35Go ahead, take it.
00:38:41Miss Bridges.
00:38:42And here's yours, dear.
00:38:49I don't need it.
00:38:50It was your idea.
00:38:52Who knows, you may want to use it on me before this night is over.
00:38:58Throw these guns away.
00:39:00They won't do you any good.
00:39:02I agree with Pritchard on that board,
00:39:04although not for the same reason.
00:39:05Dr. Trent.
00:39:09Don't you approve of our little party favors?
00:39:14Suppose Nora had had a gun
00:39:16when she mistook the blind woman for a ghost.
00:39:18I don't think anyone else
00:39:20is going to walk around in total darkness.
00:39:22Oh, I'm sure we're not going to go running around the house
00:39:25shooting each other, aren't you?
00:39:27Who knows?
00:39:29Fear makes people do amazing things.
00:39:31Mr. Pritchard.
00:39:38You said your sister-in-law killed a man and a woman here
00:39:41and cut them up?
00:39:42You said they found hands and feet,
00:39:44but they never found any heads.
00:39:47Would you like to see one of those heads?
00:39:49Would you all like to see one of those heads?
00:39:52Well then, just follow me.
00:40:01Darling, I really don't need this.
00:40:21Just go look in my suitcase.
00:40:23Just go look.
00:40:31But it was in there.
00:40:40A woman's head.
00:40:41Nora, I think you're a little upset.
00:40:44Would you care for a sedative?
00:40:46Get out!
00:40:47Get out!
00:40:47All of you!
00:40:48All of you, get out of here and leave me alone!
00:40:51Just get out of here!
00:40:53Just...
00:40:54You think it's all right to leave her by herself, doctor?
00:40:59I wish she'd taken the sedative.
00:41:02Well, what do you suppose she thought she saw?
00:41:04They're closing in on her.
00:41:05Look, doc, I think somebody ought to stay with her.
00:41:07There could be a million people around her.
00:41:09But if they wanted her, they'd get her.
00:41:14What if he's right?
00:41:15Oh, he's too drunk to know what he's talking about.
00:41:17I wonder.
00:41:19I'll join you in a minute.
00:41:26Do you think it would do any good if you went in and
00:41:28talk to her?
00:41:30Well, do you think there really was a head in her suitcase?
00:41:33I don't know.
00:41:34Nothing like that would put me right over the edge.
00:41:38Look, would you sort of stay up here?
00:41:39I mean, in case she needs help?
00:41:42All right.
00:41:43I'll be in my room.
00:41:45Just call if you want.
00:41:47Thanks.
00:41:58Are you sure there are only seven people in this house?
00:42:02Positive.
00:42:03Except for the ghosts.
00:42:04I don't believe in ghosts.
00:42:07Nor in frightening women.
00:42:09In Nora's case, it's gone far enough.
00:42:12Perhaps too far.
00:42:13What do you suggest we do about it, doctor?
00:42:15Don't frighten her anymore.
00:42:17Nora.
00:42:46Nora?
00:42:46Nora?
00:42:56Nora?
00:42:56Nora!
00:43:20Nora!
00:43:23Nora!
00:43:26Nora!
00:43:28Nora!
00:43:32Nora!
00:43:34Nora!
00:43:36What do you know about this?
00:43:38They've taken her.
00:43:40In a little while, she'll be one of them.
00:43:43Where's Nora?
00:43:45Where is she?
00:43:47It's too late. It's too late. You'll never find her again.
00:43:50Pritchard, if you know where she is, you better tell me now.
00:43:53She's gone. She's gone with them.
00:43:54And there's nothing you can do about it.
00:43:56Nora!
00:43:58Nora!
00:43:59Nora!
00:44:00Nora!
00:44:05Nora!
00:44:07Nora!
00:44:09Nora!
00:44:10Nora!
00:44:11Nora!
00:44:20Nora!
00:44:21Nora!
00:44:23Nora!
00:44:25Nora!
00:44:27Lena!
00:44:28Let's go.
00:44:58Nora?
00:45:03She's dead, Mr. Lauren.
00:45:06Your wife hanged herself.
00:45:08A suicide.
00:45:28Lance.
00:45:30Nora.
00:45:32Lance, hide me.
00:45:34Please, hide me.
00:45:36What's the matter?
00:45:38Hide me.
00:45:40He tried to kill me.
00:45:42He grabbed me and choked me and put me in that room.
00:45:46And then he went away and left me.
00:45:48Who?
00:45:49He thought I was dead.
00:45:50Who?
00:45:51Mr. Lord.
00:45:52Mr. Lord.
00:45:53Mr. Lord.
00:45:54Are you sure about this?
00:45:55I don't know.
00:45:56It was dark, but it must have been him.
00:45:58Has anyone seen you since he left you?
00:46:00No.
00:46:01I don't know.
00:46:02It was dark, but it must have been him.
00:46:04Has anyone seen you since he left you?
00:46:05I heard some people in that room, but I went by and nobody saw me.
00:46:11Mrs. Lauren is dead.
00:46:13But how?
00:46:14But how?
00:46:15Lauren said she committed suicide.
00:46:17But I think somebody had killed her.
00:46:19Him?
00:46:20I don't know.
00:46:21I don't know.
00:46:22It was dark, but it must have been him.
00:46:24Has anyone seen you since he left you?
00:46:26I heard some people in that room, but I went by and nobody saw me.
00:46:29Mrs. Lauren is dead.
00:46:31But how?
00:46:36Lauren said she committed suicide.
00:46:39But I think somebody killed her.
00:46:41Him?
00:46:42No.
00:46:45Let's see.
00:47:12I'm sure you've come to the same conclusion I have.
00:47:23Yeah, I think so.
00:47:24Let's all have a meeting, discuss what to do.
00:47:27The living room?
00:47:28Okay, in a minute.
00:47:42I've got to go downstairs.
00:47:46Now, you lock yourself in here and don't let anybody know you're here.
00:47:49If he thinks you're dead, he won't come here.
00:47:52And I'll get back as soon as I can.
00:47:54You'll be all right.
00:48:00And if you have to, you use it.
00:48:12You'll be all right.
00:48:42So beautiful.
00:48:59So greedy.
00:49:02So cold.
00:49:09What are you doing in here?
00:49:10Wait.
00:49:11Don't wait.
00:49:12What do you mean coming in here?
00:49:15I didn't want them to take her away.
00:49:17You're drunk.
00:49:18They will if you don't watch her.
00:49:19You're drunk.
00:49:19All right, out with it, Bridget.
00:49:20Why did you come into this room?
00:49:21I'm the only one who understands.
00:49:23Understands what?
00:49:25Your wife isn't there anymore.
00:49:27She's already joined them.
00:49:29Look, Bridget, I've had enough of your spook talk.
00:49:32Get out, you sotten.
00:49:33Don't come back into this room again.
00:49:35Don't come back into this room again.
00:49:35Don't come back into this room again.
00:49:44Ah!
00:49:44Where's what's-her-name?
00:50:12Nora.
00:50:14I didn't disturb her since I don't think this concerns her.
00:50:17No, you're right.
00:50:19Mr. Loren, isn't there some way we can get out of this house now?
00:50:25No, none at all.
00:50:27We could try breaking out.
00:50:29The only door to the outside is made of steel.
00:50:33The bars of the windows are set in solid stone.
00:50:37We've got to stay.
00:50:40I'm not afraid of your ghosts, Bridget.
00:50:42But I am afraid.
00:50:48When we came here a few hours ago, the only thing we had in common was the $10,000 we'd get.
00:50:53Now, however, we share something else.
00:50:56The death of Mrs. Loren.
00:50:57The death of Mrs. Loren.
00:51:00So far tonight, one of us was almost killed by a falling chandelier.
00:51:05One of us was mysteriously slugged.
00:51:08One of us has been driven to the brink of absolute hysteria.
00:51:11One of us is dead, and one of us is dead.
00:51:16With these accidents, suicide, and we must stay here for six more hours.
00:51:22Six hours?
00:51:25Six of us.
00:51:28Time or not?
00:51:29Who'll be next?
00:51:30How will it happen?
00:51:34Let me ask you a question, Doctor.
00:51:36You were the first one to see my wife there.
00:51:39Did you also see anything that she could have climbed up on and then jumped?
00:51:44No.
00:51:46Did any of you?
00:51:50There was nothing.
00:51:51How, then, did she get up there so high?
00:51:56Exactly, Mr. Loren.
00:51:57How?
00:51:58She couldn't have pulled herself up there.
00:52:00She couldn't have dropped from the ceiling.
00:52:03Do you think your wife killed herself?
00:52:06No.
00:52:07She was murdered.
00:52:10By one of you.
00:52:17Or you, Mr. Loren.
00:52:18To deliberately kill someone, you must have a reason.
00:52:22We were all strangers to your wife.
00:52:25Only you had a motive for murder.
00:52:28What husband hasn't at some time wanted to kill his wife?
00:52:32What husband hasn't had a thousand opportunities to do it in such a way so that he'd never be suspected?
00:52:37I'm not such a fool as to hang my wife from a ceiling by a rope.
00:52:41The fact remains that you, or one of us, murdered Mrs. Loren.
00:52:46And that's the matter for the police.
00:52:47So, how do we get the police?
00:52:49That's my point.
00:52:50We can't until morning.
00:52:52What began as a silly party given by an eccentric has now involved us all in murder.
00:52:57For once, Pritchard may be right.
00:52:59If another murder's in the works, let's stop it now.
00:53:02Another murder?
00:53:04Why not?
00:53:05Maybe one of us saw too much.
00:53:07Why should even a millionaire want to give each of us $10,000 to spend one night in a gloomy old house?
00:53:16To see some ghosts, have a party?
00:53:19No.
00:53:19Have you finished trying me, doctor?
00:53:21And is the verdict guilty of murder?
00:53:23Oh, this isn't getting us anywhere.
00:53:25Somebody killed Mrs. Loren.
00:53:27We know that.
00:53:28One of us is guilty and the rest of us are innocent.
00:53:29Now, what we have to do for the next six hours is protect ourselves from each other.
00:53:35Do you really think...
00:53:37I don't think anything.
00:53:39I just know that I'm going to my room.
00:53:41And if anybody comes in, I'll shoot him.
00:53:43Or her.
00:53:44And if we all stay in our rooms, we'll be safe.
00:53:47Because the innocent will have no reason to leave his room.
00:53:50And the guilty will admit his guilt if he or she does.
00:53:53And we all have guns.
00:53:55And we'll all agree.
00:53:57Oh, I wish this night were over.
00:54:02Rooms?
00:54:04Guns?
00:54:05I tell you, it doesn't make any difference.
00:54:08They aren't through with us yet.
00:54:14What's the use of saying good night?
00:54:44Good night.
00:55:14Good night, doctor.
00:55:44Good night, doctor.
00:55:54Good night, sir.
00:55:56Good night!
00:56:05Good night, Mr. Latter-stein.

01:04:53Has she killed him not yet, but she will
01:05:00Get me out of this hanging harness
01:05:03What's taking that girl so long what time is it at first I couldn't get Nora to want to protect herself with a gun
01:05:09After you appeared at the window everything began to work just as we had planned you were wonderful
01:05:14Just the touch that finally drove her into complete hysteria. It'll be worth all of our planning darling
01:05:19Where's Nora now? What's happening on the way to the cellar so scared she'll shoot the first thing that moves and
01:05:28Frederick on his way to the cellar, too
01:05:32David are you sure none of them will suspect us of what an hysterical girl accidentally shoot somebody who would suspect that?
01:05:39We planned it that way that we drove her to it. What about my suicide?
01:05:41We're just a ghost party gag. We'll claim it was a dummy since I'm the only one who touched you and the caretakers
01:05:48Well, they had no idea what they were really doing. What about Nora? She's not stupid, you know darling believe me everything we've planned is working perfectly
01:05:56Nora is sure Frederick murdered you she thinks Frederick attacked her in the cellar not me
01:06:00And now Nora's almost out of her mind with fear the heads the music you're hanging I tell you when Frederick walks in there she'll shoot him
