00:00:30The ghosts are moving tonight, restless, hungry.
00:00:53May I introduce myself? I'm Watson Pritchard.
00:00:57In 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.
00:01:50You're all invited.
00:01:52If any of you will spend the next 12 hours in this house, I'll give you each $10,000.
00:01:58Or your next of kin, in case you don't survive.
00:02:00Ah, but here come our other guests.
00:02:08It was my wife's idea to have our guests come in funeral cars.
00:02:14She's so amusing.
00:02:16Her sense of humor is, shall we say, original.
00:02:18I dreamed up the hearse.
00:02:21It's empty now, but after a night in the house on Haunted Hill.
00:02:26Who knows?
00:02:28This is Lance Schroeder, a test pilot.
00:02:31So no doubt a brave man.
00:02:33But don't you think you can be much braver if you're paid for it?
00:02:37And I happen to know that Lance needs the $10,000 I'll give him.
00:02:41If he's brave enough to stay all night.
00:02:44This 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.
00:02:59You've already met Watson Pritchard.
00:03:01A man living in mortal fear of a house, and yet he is risking his life to spend another night here.
00:03:07I wonder why.
00:03:09He says for money.
00:03:12This is Dr. David Trent, a psychiatrist.
00:03:14He claims that my ghost will help his work on Hysteria, but don't you see a little touch of greed there, around the mouth and eyes?
00:03:25This is Nora Manning.
00:03:26I picked her from the thousands of people who work for me because she needed the $10,000 more than most.
00:03:35Supports her whole family.
00:03:37Isn't she pretty?
00:03:39The party's starting now, and you have until midnight to find the house on Haunted Hill.
00:03:49Take care.

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

01:03:07No!
01:03:08No!
01:03:09No!
01:03:10That, and someone walking.
01:03:14You got yours?
01:03:17Ready?
01:03:19You look downstairs, and I'll look up here.
01:03:22Why not together?
01:03:23There may be only minutes, seconds left of someone's life.
01:03:26Why waste time?
01:03:40If you have to.
01:03:46For the next year, you will have a check.
01:03:50Have you?
01:03:52Have you?
01:03:54No, no, no, no!
01:03:58Have you been there?
01:04:00How can't you sleep?
01:04:03I'm oh, neverVO.
01:04:06We're all in the sleep.
01:04:08It's almost over, darling.
01:04:26Every detail was perfect.
01:04:38What's happening?
01:04:44We've done it.
01:04:45A perfect crime.
01:04:47Beautiful.
01:04:50Has she killed him?
01:04:51Not yet.
01:04:53But she will.
01:04:56Get me out of this hanging harness.
01:05:00What's taking that girl so long?
01:05:02What time is it?
01:05:03At first, I couldn't get Nora to want to protect herself with a gun.
01:05:07After you appeared at the window, everything began to work just as we had planned.
01:05:10You were wonderful.
01:05:11Just the touch that finally drove her into complete hysteria.
01:05:14It'll be worth all of our planning, darling.
01:05:17Where's Nora now?
01:05:19What's happening?
01:05:20On her way to the cellar.
01:05:22So scared she'll shoot the first thing that moves.
01:05:24And Frederick?
01:05:25On his way to the cellar, too.
01:05:29David, are you sure none of them will suspect us?
01:05:31Of what?
01:05:32An hysterical girl accidentally shoots somebody?
01:05:34Who would suspect that we planned it that way, that we drove her to it?
01:05:37What about my suicide?
01:05:39Well, just a ghost party gag.
01:05:41We'll claim it was a dummy since I'm the only one who touched you.
01:05:43And the caretakers?
01:05:45Well, they had no idea what they were really doing.
01:05:48What about Nora?
01:05:48She's not stupid, you know.
01:05:50Darling, believe me.
01:05:51Everything we planned is working perfectly.
01:05:53Nora is sure Frederick murdered you.
01:05:55She thinks Frederick attacked her in the cellar, not me.
01:05:58And now Nora's almost out of her mind with fear.
01:06:00The heads, the music, you're hanging.
01:06:01I tell you when Frederick walks in there, she'll shoot him.
01:06:04It's taking too long.
01:06:07David, you ought to be there.
01:06:18When you hear the shot, come down to the cellar.
01:06:21Good night.
01:06:46I'll see you soon.
01:07:20No, no!
01:07:50No, no!
01:07:59No, no!
01:08:00No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:03No!
01:08:04No!
01:08:05No!
01:08:06No!
01:08:07No!
01:08:08No!
01:08:09No!
01:08:10No!
01:08:11No!
01:08:20Eric!
01:08:21Oh

01:10:49David
01:10:50Screams
01:11:20THE END
01:11:50Good night, Doctor. Good night, Annabelle.
01:12:16The crime you two planned was indeed perfect.
01:12:20Only the victim is alive, and the murderers are not.
01:12:25It's a pity you didn't know when you started your game of murder
01:12:28that I was playing, too.
01:12:38There must be some way to get in here.
01:12:39It's right along here, somewhere.
01:12:41What?
01:12:44Lance!
01:12:46I've shot Mr. Lorne. He's down in the wine cellar.
01:12:49Alive?
01:12:50I don't think so.
01:12:51It's him! He's alive!
01:13:03You didn't shoot anyone, my dear.
01:13:11I loaded your gun with blanks.
01:13:15I can tell you all now,
01:13:17Trent and my wife were planning to kill me.
01:13:20They failed.
01:13:23Trent tried to throw me in the vat.
01:13:26My wife stumbled and fell.
01:13:27I'm ready for justice to decide if I'm innocent or guilty.
01:13:34Now there are nine.
01:13:58There'll be more, many more.
01:14:00They're coming for me now.
01:14:09And then they'll come for you.
01:14:30They'll come for you side.
01:14:31And they'll come for you.
01:14:33I won't stop.
01:14:35They'll come for you after me.
01:14:36And I'll be back for you at work here.
01:14:37THE END
