00:01:30I'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.
00:01:51If any of you will spend the next 12 hours in this house, I'll give you each $10,000, or your next of kin, in case you don't survive.
00:02:02Ah, but here come our other guests.
00:02:03It was my wife's idea to have our guests come in funeral cars.
00:02:12She's so amusing.
00:02:16Her sense of humor is, shall we say, original.
00:02:19I dreamed up the hearse.
00:02:21It's empty now, but after a night in the house on Haunted Hill.
00:02:25Who knows?
00:02:26This 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.
00:02:40If 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.
00:03:10He claims that my ghost will help his work on hysteria.
00:03:20But don't you see a little touch of greed there, around the mouth and eyes?
00:03:28This is Nora Manning.
00:03:30I picked her from the thousands of people who work for me because she needed the $10,000 more than most.
00:03:36Supports her whole family.
00:03:38Isn't she pretty?
00:03:40The party's starting now, and you have until midnight to find the house on Haunted Hill.
00:03:49You're welcome.
00:03:51We're welcome.
00:04:01We're welcome.
00:04:10Come on.
00:04:40Come on.
00:05:10Come on.
00:05:40Come on.
00:06:10Well, where is everybody?
00:06:35It isn't a very warm welcome, is it?
00:06:38Only the ghosts in this house are glad we're here.
00:06:42Are we all strangers to each other?
00:06:45Don't you two know each other?
00:06:47I'm afraid I don't even know your name.
00:06:49I'm Norm Manning.
00:06:51Lance Schroeder.
00:06:52Is Frederick Lawren 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?
00:07:05No.
00:07:06Well, then you're the only one of us who does.
00:07:09I don't know him.
00:07:10All the details about renting the house were done by mail.
00:07:13He's quite wealthy, isn't he?
00:07:14Millions.
00:07:15And 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.
00:07:24Yeah.
00:07:28Well, if I were going to haunt anybody, this would certainly be the house I'd do it in.
00:07:37Who closed the door?
00:07:47This thing's made of solid steel.
00:07:54Annabelle, our guests are here.
00:08:23And, fortunately, still alive.
00:08:25Is your face on yet?
00:08:30Dust and dirt everywhere, and the water barely trickles.
00:08:34Couldn't you have had the place cleaned?
00:08:36Atmosphere, darling.
00:08:37You 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.
00:08:52Well, the 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.
00:09:04I 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.
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?
00:09:26Could be.
00:09:27Why 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?
00:09:41That 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.
00:09:52Just a sip might improve your humor.
00:09:56My humor is fine, thanks.
00:09:58And I haven't poisoned it.
00:10:02It'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 are the least agreeable.
00:10:29But still alive.
00:10:32Would you go away for a million dollars?
00:10:34Tax-free?
00:10:37You want it all, don't you?
00:10:38I deserve it all.
00:10:41Your jealousy isn't tax-free.
00:10:42And your possessiveness is maddening.
00:10:46If ever a man had grounds for divorce.
00:10:50That can't prove them.
00:10:52The time will come.
00:10:54You'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.
00:11:12You'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 in case you get any more ideas.
00:11:29Don't let the ghosts and the ghouls disturb you, darling.
00:11:33Darling, the only ghoul in the house is you.
00:11:36And don't sit up all night, thinking of ways to get rid of me.
00:11:41It makes wrinkles.
00:11:42Well, this 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.
00:12:14The wife, probably in a rage, threatened her husband with a knife.
00:12:18And then carried away by hysteria, took 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?
00:12:26Only 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.
00:12:38Since 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?
00:13:00Mr. 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 will you have?
00:13:11Scott Ann.
00:13:12Doctor?
00:13:12I'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.
00:13:26Once 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, no phone, no one within miles.
00:13:42So, no way to call for help.
00:13:45Like a coffin.
00:13:46So, 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.
00:14:08Ghosts, Doctor.
00:14:09I 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.
00:14:20Hmm.
00:14:20Amusing.
00:14:21Ghosts, etc.
00:14:23Being only creations of hysteria, your party should be a success.
00:14:27Well, Pritchard here promises us genuine ghosts.
00:14:31Seven now.
00:14:33Maybe more before morning.
00:14:35That'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.
00:14:45A ghost for everybody.
00:14:48Well, Pritchard, why don't you take us on a tour through the house and let's see what happens.
00:14:52Hmm.
00:14:52Hmm.
00:14:52Hmm.
00:14:52Hmm.
00:14:52Hmm.
00:14:57See that stain?
00:15:05Blood.
00:15:07A young girl was killed here.
00:15:10And whatever got her wasn't human.
00:15:12Don't stand there.
00:15:13What do you mean?
00:15:13Where?
00:15:14It's too late.
00:15:27They've marked you.
00:15:29Ridiculous.
00:15:29The roof probably leaks.
00:15:31Well, that must be what it is.
00:15:32Who would rather haunt me?
00:15:34I would say any self-respecting male ghost.
00:15:36I hope it doesn't come back.
00:15:39Well, Mr. Pritchard, you're the life of the party.
00:15:41He hasn't even started yet.
00:15:43Wasn't there a man who threw his wife into a wine vat or something?
00:15:46That was in the cellar.
00:15:48There's been a murder almost every place in this house.
00:15:50All this belonged to a Mr. Norton, who didn't die here.
00:16:12He was electrocuted later.
00:16:13Mr. Norton did a good deal of experimenting with wines.
00:16:21But his wife didn't think it was any good.
00:16:24So he filled the vat with acid and threw her in.
00:16:29She was supposed to stay down.
00:16:32But the bones came up.
00:16:35It's a funny thing.
00:16:38But none of the murders here were just ordinary.
00:16:41Just shooting.
00:16:43It was stabbing.
00:16:45They've all been sort of wild.
00:16:49Violent and...
00:16:50Different.
00:16:51Ow!
00:16:53Oh, God, she didn't fall in.
00:16:56You mean there's still acid in there?
00:17:13It destroys everything with hair and flesh.
00:17:26It just leaves the bones.
00:17:28My, it's dry and dusty down here.
00:17:44Well, there's a...
00:17:45A cure for that upstairs.
00:17:48Come on.
00:17:49How'd you get invited to this party?
00:18:06No.
00:18:07Well, go on.
00:18:09I mean, what'd he tell you?
00:18:14Mr. Lorne said everybody would get $10,000.
00:18:18But he didn't say anything about being locked in.
00:18:20No.
00:18:22He just made a deal with me on the phone.
00:18:24But nothing about having to stay.
00:18:25Aren't you going to stay?
00:18:29If I don't, I lose $10,000.
00:18:34I'm going to stay, too.
00:18:36$10,000.
00:18:38Yeah.
00:18:38Do you believe in ghosts?
00:18:43I don't know.
00:18:45Well, I agree with what that doc says.
00:18:47You can spook yourself.
00:18:49I've done it in planes.
00:18:50Seen things that weren't really there.
00:18:52Or were they?
00:18:55What are you going to do with your $10,000?
00:18:57If we get it.
00:18:59What do you mean, if we get it?
00:19:01Won't he pay us if we stay?
00:19:03Ah, sure he will.
00:19:04$10,000 is no more to him than a nickel is to us.
00:19:08We were in an automobile accident.
00:19:10Now I'm the only one in the family who can make any money.
00:19:15Boy, I've never seen so many doors.
00:19:24Closet.
00:19:36Bottles.
00:19:38Does it go anywhere?
00:19:58Lance!
00:20:01Lance!
00:20:05Lance!
00:20:06Lance!
00:20:06The End
00:20:36Help me, please. Lance is gone and there's a ghost.
00:21:03You see what I mean?
00:21:04Please, come on.
00:21:06Did she say Lance is gone? Gone where?
00:21:18We'll have to break it down. It's not.
00:21:21Bob?
00:21:23Are you all right?
00:21:35Nothing that money won't cure. I must have bumped my head. The only way you could bump your head in here is to run head on into the wall. You didn't do that, did you? Let's get a bandage on that.
00:21:53I wonder why they didn't kill him. Who? He didn't bump his head. They hit him. They?
00:22:11They?
00:22:12They?
00:22:13They?
00:22:14They?
00:22:15They?
00:22:16They?
00:22:17They?
00:22:18They?
00:22:19They?
00:22:20They?
00:22:23They?
00:22:25They?
00:22:26They?
00:22:32decentralized feel, let's go right through!
00:22:34When you came in, you said something about a ghost.
00:22:37There was something.
00:22:39What did it look like?
00:22:40Well, it was wearing a black thing that went all the way to the floor.
00:22:45Weren't you a little frightened at the time?
00:22:48Well, yes.
00:22:50That, Mr. Lauren, is hysteria.
00:22:54Then, Doctor, how do you explain what happened to Lance?
00:22:56Was that hysteria, too?
00:23:01You'd better get that checked in a day or so.
00:23:03Thanks, Doc.
00:23:12Wait for me in the hall.
00:23:19The ghosts are coming closer, Mr. Lauren.
00:23:22You really believe in your pet ghosts, don't you, Pritchard?
00:23:25Before the night's over, you will, too.
00:23:28Would you like a drink, Lance?
00:23:30No, thanks.
00:23:31I'd like one.
00:23:32It's got your hand.
00:23:33Mr. Lauren, are you really going to pay anyone who stays all night?
00:23:44Certainly.
00:23:45$10,000.
00:23:46Will there be much red tape or delay?
00:23:50You in a hurry, dear?
00:23:51Frankly, yes.
00:23:53Or frantically.
00:23:54There you are, my dear.
00:23:55There you are, my dear.
00:23:55There you are, my dear.
00:23:57There you are, my dear.
00:23:58There you are, my dear.
00:24:19Someone or something was in here when I came in.
00:24:22I don't remember.
00:24:23But where?
00:24:25And 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.
00:24:35I don't know.
00:24:36I just wanted to pray.
00:24:36I don't know.
00:24:37I don't know.
00:24:38I don't know.
00:24:38I don't know.
00:24:40I don't know.
00:24:41My dear friend, I don't know.
00:24:41Hey, dear friend.
00:24:42I don't know.
00:24:42Yes.
00:24:42Say it.
00:24:43I don't know.
00:24:44I don't know.
00:24:45I don't know.
00:24:46Good.
00:24:46Good.
00:24:47That sound different to you.
00:24:49Yes.
00:24:50Yes.
00:25:02Three, six, nine, twelve.
00:25:08Twelve feet.
00:25:16Three, six.
00:25:19I'm gonna knock on the other wall. When you hear me, you knock on this wall.
00:25:31Tap, lower down.
00:25:32No!
00:25:41No!
00:25:43No!
00:25:44No!
00:25:45No!
00:25:46No!
00:25:47Oh!
00:25:48Oh!
00:25:49Oh!
00:25:50Oh!
00:25:51Oh, Lance, I fought again.
00:26:05Where'd it come from?
00:26:06From in here.
00:26:14Well, if it ran out of here, I'd have seen it.
00:26:17Lance, it doesn't run. It just floats.
00:26:21Yeah, but why didn't I see it?
00:26:24You don't believe me.
00:26:26How can I?
00:26:48I'm Annabelle Lauren.
00:26:52You must be Miss Manning.
00:26:56I realize this is a very unusual and I'm afraid very dull party.
00:27:00Wouldn't you like to freshen up?
00:27:01This is your room. Depressing, isn't it?
00:27:14I doubt if I'll spend much time here.
00:27:15It's going to rain.
00:27:16Perfect atmosphere for my husband's party.
00:27:19Why did you come here?
00:27:20He said he'd give me $10,000.
00:27:22Why did he pick you?
00:27:23I don't know.
00:27:24My supervisor just came and said I'd been invited.
00:27:26How long have you known my husband?
00:27:27I just met him tonight.
00:27:28So?
00:27:29Why you?
00:27:30Why you?
00:27:31What were you doing wandering around by yourself?
00:27:33Well, I was in the cellar with Lance.
00:27:36Mr. Schroeder.
00:27:37I just left, that's all.
00:27:38Well, I was in the cellar with Lance.
00:27:39Mr. Schroeder.
00:27:41I just left.
00:27:42That's all.
00:27:43Don't do it again.
00:27:44Don't go anywhere in this house.
00:27:45It's time for me to take home.
00:27:46How long have you known my husband?
00:27:47I'd just met him tonight.
00:27:48So?
00:27:50Why you?
00:27:52What were you doing wandering around by yourself?
00:27:58Well, I was in the cellar with Lance.
00:28:04Mr. Schroeder.
00:28:06I just left, that's all.
00:28:07Don't do it again.
00:28:10Don't go anywhere in this house by yourself.
00:28:14Now, fix your face and I'll come by for you in a few minutes.
00:28:17But I...
00:28:18You're in danger.
00:28:20We all are.
00:28:22But who?
00:28:24I hope for your sake you never find out.
00:28:41I'm Annabelle Lauren. Were you looking for something?
00:28:44Not exactly.
00:28:45Are you the doctor?
00:28:46No. No, I'm Lance Schroeder.
00:28:48The pilot. You've hurt yourself.
00:28:50Oh, it's just a bump on the head.
00:28:54Which is my room?
00:28:55I believe this is it.
00:28:58Thank you, Mrs. Lauren.
00:29:01Annabelle, Lance.
00:29:10You were with the young girl in the cellar. Why was she so upset?
00:29:17Was she?
00:29:18And you don't look like the type to around bumping his head.
00:29:21What really happened, Lance?
00:29:23Well, Nora thought she saw a ghost, but I didn't see anything.
00:29:27She was just frightened then.
00:29:29Ann mad at me. I think I kidded her about it.
00:29:32I wouldn't joke about anything else that happens here tonight.
00:29:35Now, don't tell me you're taking all this seriously.
00:29:40Aren't you?
00:29:41Well, I'd like to find out what hit me.
00:29:45Lance.
00:29:49If I need help, may I count on you?
00:29:52Yeah, sure. I guess so.
00:29:56Look, what's going on here, anyway? I mean, what is with this party bit?
00:30:00This is no party. He's planning something.
00:30:02Your husband?
00:30:03I wish I knew what it was.
00:30:05Must be pretty big if he's gonna lay out 50,000.
00:30:08The money doesn't mean anything.
00:30:10He has a reason for getting us all up here to this dreadful old house.
00:30:14Well, what for? He doesn't even know us.
00:30:17Maybe that's exactly why you're here.
00:30:20Well, what can he get away with?
00:30:22Oh, he thinks that big money like his can get away with anything.
00:30:25You know, of course, that I'm his fourth wife.
00:30:29The first simply disappeared.
00:30:31The other two died.
00:30:34Lance.
00:30:36I don't want to join them.
00:30:40You mean he, uh...
00:30:41Oh, his doctor said they died of heart attacks.
00:30:44Two girls.
00:30:46In their 20s.
00:30:48Well, what can he do?
00:30:49My husband is sometimes insane with jealousy.
00:30:52Nothing matters to him then.
00:30:55Please be careful.
00:30:57Would he hurt you?
00:31:00He would kill me if he could.
00:31:19He would kill me if he could.
00:31:24Annabelle, you're missing all the fun.
00:31:27Nora Manning was almost killed by a falling chandelier.
00:31:30The pilot bashed his head in.
00:31:32Is he badly hurt?
00:31:34The saturnine psychiatrist bandaged him up.
00:31:37Don't you want to go and console him?
00:31:39As you do most men in your fashion.
00:31:43You're so clever, Frederick.
00:31:44As I lie awake nights wondering why I married you.
00:31:48It was rather a mistake.
00:31:50You didn't marry me, dear.
00:31:51I married you.
00:31:52Unpleasant, but no mistake.
00:31:55Hurry up.
00:31:57Frederick, for the last time, I'm not going to your party.
00:32:00And for the last time, it's not my party, but yours.
00:32:05And you are going.
00:32:08I am not.
00:32:10Are you ready, dear?
00:32:11No.
00:32:13Are you ready, dear?
00:32:15Yes. Damn you.
00:32:17Would you adore me as much if I were poor?
00:32:20No.
00:32:21All you want to be is a lovely widow.
00:32:25It's almost time to lock up the house.
00:32:28Then your party will really begin.
00:32:32I wonder how it'll end.
00:32:42It's close to midnight, Lance.
00:32:55Okay. I'll be down in a minute.
00:33:04Who is it?
00:33:05Your host, my dear.
00:33:07It's almost midnight, Nora.
00:33:10We're all going to get together down in the living room.
00:33:12All right, Mr. Lloyd.
00:33:13I'll be right down.
00:33:14I'll be right down.
00:33:44You guys!
00:33:45I can't see you on one roof.
00:33:48No, Laura, I'll be right down there.
00:33:51I can't.
00:33:53Lord, you're good.
00:33:54Oh, dear.
00:33:56This door can't be right back when I'm there.
00:33:58Let go bater back six.
00:33:59Now the door to all theters of the house,
00:34:01you are going to be lying there.
00:34:02Oh, dear.
00:34:04It's a turn over here.
00:34:05Greenеждаe
00:34:08conspiratorial meals.
00:34:09Come with us. Come with us before he kills you.
00:34:29Where's Nora? Miss Manning.
00:34:32I don't want to stay here.
00:34:39Nora, what happened?
00:34:52That's Jonas Slides and his wife.
00:34:55They've been caretakers here for years.
00:34:58She's blind, you know.
00:35:00I'm not going to stay here.
00:35:05Well, Doctor, it looks like we have a real case of hysteria on our hands.
00:35:09I think she's just a little upset, not hysterical.
00:35:19Good evening.
00:35:24Hello, my dear.
00:35:26This is my wife. These are our guests.
00:35:30Ruth Bridges. Dr. Trent.
00:35:33You know Watson Pritchard, of course.
00:35:34Nora Manning.
00:35:35And this is Lance Schroeder.
00:35:45Get me out of here.
00:35:47What about the 10,000?
00:35:48I don't care. He wants to kill me.
00:35:51Who wants to kill you?
00:35:53Mr. Lawrence.
00:35:55May I have your attention, please?
00:35:57I think you all remember the bargain we made about staying all night.
00:36:02$10,000 apiece.
00:36:04If any of you don't survive,
00:36:07$50,000 will be divided amongst the rest of you.
00:36:09If 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,
00:36:20we'll all be forced to stay in this house until morning.
00:36:24If any of you decide not to stay,
00:36:25you must leave with the caretakers now.
00:36:28You won't have a chance to change your minds later,
00:36:31because there'll be no way to get out.
00:36:34I don't want to stay.
00:36:35Wait.
00:36:39I want to stay.
00:36:40Well, I'll leave.
00:36:42I'll leave.
00:36:43I'll leave.
00:36:44I'll leave.
00:36:45I'll leave.
00:36:47I'll leave.
00:36:48It isn't midnight yet.
00:36:49Who told them they could leave?
00:36:50They never leave before midnight.
00:36:51Well, they've gone now.
00:36:53I was going to ask you whether you wanted to stay or not,
00:36:56but it seems late to see you.
00:36:57it isn't midnight yet who told them they could leave they never leave before midnight they've
00:37:03gone now i was going to ask you whether you wanted to stay or not but it seems that the
00:37:09caretakers have made the decision for you we're all locked in now but i don't want to stay
00:37:15i'm sorry my dear but it's too late now darling haven't you had enough of the silly game

00:37:32in spite of my wife's faith in my ability to do the impossible
00:37:38we will all have to stay in this house until eight o'clock in the morning
00:37:42but we have some party favors for you in these little coffins
00:37:52this is my wife's idea i must say i think it's rather dangerous i suppose you all know how to use one
00:37:59of these things but in case you don't you just press down on this lever with your thumb and then pull
00:38:06the trigger
00:38:11you see they're loaded
00:38:15these are no good against the dead only the living
00:38:17you see they're going to be the living doctor

00:38:59for the same reason dr trent
00:39:04don't you approve of our little party favors suppose nora had had a gun when she mistook the
00:39:12blind woman for a ghost i don't think anyone else is going to walk around in total darkness
00:39:18oh i'm sure we're not going to go running around the house shooting each other aren't you
00:39:23who knows fear makes people do amazing things
00:39:31mr pritchard you said your sister-in-law killed a man and a woman here and cut them up
00:39:38you said they found hands and feet but they never found any heads would you like to see one of those
00:39:43heads would you all like to see one of those heads well then just follow me

00:40:45alone just get out of here you think it's all right to leave her by yourself doctor
00:40:55i wish she'd taken the sedative what do you suppose she thought she saw they're closing in on her look
00:41:01doc i think somebody ought to stay with her there could be a million people around her but if they
00:41:05wanted her they'd get her what if he's right he's too drunk to know what he's talking about i wonder
00:41:14i'll join you in a minute
00:41:22do you think it would do any good if you went in and talked to her do you think there really was
00:41:26a few hours ahead in her suitcase i don't know a thing like that would put me right over the edge
00:41:33look would you sort of stay up here i mean in case she needs help all right i'll be in my room just
00:41:40call it thanks
00:41:54are you sure there are only seven people in this house positive except for the ghosts
00:42:00i don't believe in ghosts nor in frightening women in nora's case it's gone far enough
00:42:06perhaps too far what do you suggest we do about it doctor don't frighten her any more
00:42:37nora nora
00:42:41nora

00:44:47Nora?
00:44:49Nora?
00:44:51Nora?
00:44:53Nora?
00:44:57She's dead, Mr. Lauren.
00:45:01Your wife hanged herself.
00:45:03A suicide.
00:45:23You're leaving her...
00:45:25I'm not healed, my...
00:45:27Don't be ready.
00:45:29I'm sorry.
00:45:31I'm very sorry.
00:45:33Are you okay?
00:45:35I'll let you come back.
00:45:36You've been here, Mr. Men?
00:45:38No.
00:45:40It's all the time.
00:45:41He tried to kill me.
00:45:51He grabbed me and choked me and put me in that room.
00:45:55And then he went away and left me.
00:45:58Who?
00:45:59He thought I was dead.
00:46:01Who?
00:46:04Mr. Lord.
00:46:06Are you sure about this?
00:46:09I don't know.
00:46:10It was dark, but it must have been him.
00:46:14Has anybody seen you since he left you?
00:46:18I heard some people in that room, but I went by and nobody saw me.
00:46:23Mrs. Lauren is dead.
00:46:27But how?
00:46:32Lauren said she committed suicide.
00:46:34But I think somebody killed her.
00:46:36Him?
00:46:37Poop!
00:46:38No!
00:46:39Don't go.
00:46:39No!
00:46:40No!
00:46:47I don't know.
00:46:54Do you have a beauator when he asked whether to?
00:46:54It is?
00:46:55Jon.
00:46:55I'm sure you've come to the same conclusion I have.
00:47:18Yeah, I think so.
00:47:19Let's all have a meeting, discuss what to do.
00:47:22The living room?
00:47:23Okay, in a minute.
00:47:25I'm going to go downstairs.
00:47:41Now, you lock yourself in here and don't let anybody know you're here.
00:47:44If he thinks you're dead, he won't come here.
00:47:47And I'll get back as soon as I can.
00:47:49You'll be all right.
00:47:50And if you have to, you use it.
00:47:58You'll be all right.
00:47:59I'll get back as soon as I can.
00:48:01Let's go.
00:48:02Let's go.
00:48:02I'll get back as soon as I can.
00:48:03Let's go.
00:48:03Let's go.
00:48:04Let's go.
00:48:05Let's go.
00:48:35So beautiful, so greedy, so cold.
00:48:58What are you doing in here?
00:49:05Wait, don't wait.
00:49:07What do you mean, coming in here?
00:49:09I didn't want them to take her away.
00:49:11You're drunk.
00:49:12They will if you don't watch her.
00:49:13You're drunk.
00:49:14All right, out with it, Bridget.
00:49:15Why did you come into this room?
00:49:16I'm the only one who understands.
00:49:17Understands what?
00:49:18Your wife isn't there anymore.
00:49:21She's already joined them.
00:49:23Look, Bridget, I've had enough of your spook talk.
00:49:26Get out, you sot, and don't come back into this room again.
00:49:56Where's what's her name?
00:50:06Nora.
00:50:07I didn't disturb her since I don't think this concerns her.
00:50:11Oh, you're right.
00:50:13Mr. Loren, isn't there some way we can get out of this house now?
00:50:18No, none at all.
00:50:21We could try breaking out.
00:50:23The only door to the outside is made of steel.
00:50:27The bars of the windows are set in solid stone.
00:50:31We gotta stay.
00:50:33I'm not afraid of your ghosts, Bridget.
00:50:37But I am afraid.
00:50:41When we came here a few hours ago, the only thing we had in common was the $10,000 we'd get.
00:50:48Now, however, we share something else.
00:50:51The death of Mrs. Loren.
00:50:54So far tonight, one of us was almost killed by a falling chandelier.
00:51:00One of us was mysteriously slugged.
00:51:03One of us has been driven to the brink of absolute hysteria.
00:51:06And one of us is dead.
00:51:11Were these accidents?
00:51:13Suicide?
00:51:15And we must stay here for six more hours.
00:51:17Six hours?
00:51:20Six of us.
00:51:23Time or not?
00:51:24Who'll be next?
00:51:26How will it happen?
00:51:29Let me ask you a question, Doctor.
00:51:31You were the first one to see my wife there.
00:51:34Did you also see anything that she could have climbed up on and then jumped?
00:51:38No.
00:51:40Did any of them?
00:51:45There was nothing.
00:51:47How then did she get up there so high?
00:51:51Exactly, Mr. Loren. How?
00:51:53She couldn't have pulled herself up there.
00:51:55She couldn't have dropped from the ceiling.
00:51:57Do you think your wife killed herself?
00:52:00No.
00:52:02She was murdered.
00:52:05By one of you.
00:52:11Or you, Mr. Loren.
00:52:14To deliberately kill someone, you must have a reason.
00:52:17We were all strangers to your wife.
00:52:19Only you had a motive for murder.
00:52:22What husband hasn't at some time wanted to kill his wife?
00:52:26What husband hasn't had a thousand opportunities to do it in such a way so that he'd never be suspected?
00:52:31I'm not such a fool as to hang my wife from a ceiling by a rope.
00:52:35The fact remains that you, or one of us, murdered Mrs. Loren.
00:52:39And that's a matter for the police.
00:52:41So, how do we get the police?
00:52:43That's my point.
00:52:44We can't until morning.
00:52:45What began as a silly party given by an eccentric has now involved us all in murder.
00:52:52For once, Pritchard may be right.
00:52:54If another murder's in the works, let's stop it now.
00:52:56Another murder?
00:52:58Why not?
00:52:59Maybe one of us saw too much.
00:53:02Why should even a millionaire want to give each of us $10,000 to spend one night in a gloomy old house?
00:53:11To see some ghosts?
00:53:12To have a party?
00:53:13No.
00:53:14Have you finished trying me, Doctor?
00:53:16And is the verdict guilty of murder?
00:53:18Oh, this isn't getting us anywhere.
00:53:20Somebody killed Mrs. Loren.
00:53:21We know that.
00:53:22One of us is guilty and the rest of us are innocent.
00:53:24Okay.
00:53:25Now, what we have to do for the next six hours is protect ourselves from each other.
00:53:30Do you really think...
00:53:32I don't think anything.
00:53:33I just know that I'm going to my room.
00:53:35And if anybody comes in, I'll shoot him.
00:53:38Or her.
00:53:39And if we all stay in our rooms, we'll be safe.
00:53:42Because the innocent will have no reason to leave his room.
00:53:45And the guilty will admit his guilt if he or she does.
00:53:48And we all have guns.
00:53:49And we're all agreed.
00:53:51Oh, I wish this night were over.
00:53:57Rooms?
00:53:58Guns?
00:53:59Bill Charmander isn't going to do better.
00:54:00Geez.
00:54:01Who are you doing?
00:54:02Then...
00:54:03I'll tell you, it doesn't make any difference.
00:54:04They aren't through with us yet.
00:54:06I'll tell you, it doesn't make any difference.
00:54:09They aren't through with us yet.
00:54:10What's the use of saying good night?
00:54:40Good night.
00:55:10Good night, doctor.
00:55:17Good night.
00:55:24Good night.
00:55:32Good night.
00:55:39Good night.
00:55:47Good night.
00:56:06Good night.
00:56:21Good night.
00:56:27Good night.
00:56:34Good night.
00:56:42Good night.
00:56:46Good night.
00:57:01Good night.
00:57:07Good night.
00:57:22Good night.
00:57:26Good night.
00:57:30Good night.
00:57:39Laura, it's me, Lance.
00:57:43You okay?
00:57:45They've all gone to their rooms and locked themselves in.
00:57:50Lance, I've been thinking.
00:57:51Lance, I've been thinking. It was so dark down there, maybe it wasn't Mr. Lorne.
00:57:55It was him, all right. He tried to kill you, and he did kill his wife.
00:58:01How can he be so sure?
00:58:03She tried to warn me, asked me to help her.
00:58:07The doc thinks he's gonna try and kill one of us.
00:58:11Now, there must be a way out of this place, and I'm gonna find it and get the police before he does.
00:58:15I'm going with you.
00:58:17Well, if he finds out you're alive...
00:58:19No, Nora, you're safer here than any place else. Now just lock yourself in and keep quiet.
00:58:31If I find a way out, I'll come back and catch you.
00:58:49Let's go.
00:58:51Let's go.
00:58:53Let's go.
00:58:55Let's go.
00:58:57Let's go.
00:58:59Let's go.
00:59:01Let's go.
00:59:03Let's go.
00:59:05Let's go.
00:59:07Let's go.
00:59:11Let's go.
00:59:13Let's go.
00:59:27Come on.
00:59:57Oh, my God.
01:00:27Oh, my God.
01:00:57Oh, no.
01:01:09No!
01:01:39No!
01:02:09No!
01:02:11No!
01:02:13No!
01:02:19No!
01:02:39No!
01:02:55An admission of guilt, Doctor?
01:02:57Certainly not.
01:02:59There's either somebody else in this house or one of us has left his room.
01:03:02Did you hear anything?
01:03:04Organ music?
01:03:08That.
01:03:09And someone walking.
01:03:11You got yours?
01:03:14Ready?
01:03:16You look downstairs and I'll look up here.
01:03:19Why not together?
01:03:21There may be only minutes, seconds left of someone's life.
01:03:24Why waste time?
01:03:34I'm sorry, sir.
01:03:36No, no, no.
01:03:42Because of your love...
01:03:44When I read short, I read a book.
01:03:47When I read the book, I read a blank.
01:03:48I read a book.
01:03:49I read some books.
01:03:51I read a book, but you read some books.
01:03:56I read it.
01:03:57I read a book, the book, but I read a book.
01:03:59It's really nice.
01:04:00I read a book.
01:04:01It's almost over, darling.
01:04:23Every detail was perfect.
01:04:31What's happening?
01:04:40We've done it.
01:04:42A perfect crime.
01:04:44Beautiful.
01:04:47Has she killed him?
01:04:48Not yet.
01:04:50But she will.
01:04:53Get me out of this hanging harness.
01:04:57What's taking that girl so long?
01:04:59What time is it?
01:05:00At first, I couldn't get Nora to want to protect herself with a gun.
01:05:04After you appeared at the window, everything began to work just as we had planned.
01:05:07You were wonderful.
01:05:08Just the touch that finally drove her into complete hysteria.
01:05:11It'll be worth all of our planning, darling.
01:05:14Where's Nora now?
01:05:16What's happening?
01:05:17On her way to the cellar.
01:05:19So scared she'll shoot the first thing that moves.
01:05:21And Frederick?
01:05:22On his way to the cellar, too.
01:05:26David, are you sure none of them will suspect us?
01:05:28Of what?
01:05:29An hysterical girl accidentally shoots somebody?
01:05:32Who would suspect that we planned it that way, that we drove her to it?
01:05:34What about my suicide?
01:05:36Just a ghost party gag.
01:05:38We'll claim it was a dummy since I'm the only one who touched you.
01:05:40And the caretakers?
01:05:42Well, they had no idea what they were really doing.
01:05:44What about Nora?
01:05:45She's not stupid, you know.
01:05:47Darling, believe me.
01:05:48Everything we planned is working perfectly.
01:05:50Nora is sure Frederick murdered you.
01:05:52She thinks Frederick attacked her in the cellar, not me.
01:05:55And now Nora's almost out of her mind with fear.
01:05:57The heads, the music you're hanging.
01:05:59I tell you when Frederick walks in there, she'll shoot him.
01:06:01It's taking too long.
01:06:04David, you ought to be there.
01:06:05When you hear the shot, come down to the cellar.
01:06:18Come down.
01:06:19You ought to be there.
01:06:31You ought to be there.
01:06:32For sure, He died.
01:06:34Or He died.
01:06:37TOBY GOOD-
01:06:37CD-

01:12:09No, no!
01:12:11No, no!
01:12:13Good night, Annabelle.
01:12:15The crime you two planned was indeed perfect.
01:12:17Only the victim is alive and the murderers are not.
01:12:21It's a pity you didn't know when you started your game of murder.
01:12:27That I was playing too.
01:12:35There must be some way to get in here.
01:12:37It's right along here, somewhere.
01:12:43I've shot Mr. Lorne. He's down in the wine cellar.
01:12:46Alive?
01:12:47I don't think so.
01:12:51It's him! He's alive!
01:13:03You didn't shoot anyone, my dear.
01:13:07I loaded your gun with blanks.
01:13:11I can tell you all now,
01:13:13Trent and my wife were planning to kill me.
01:13:15They failed.
01:13:17Trent tried to throw me in the vat.
01:13:21My wife stumbled and fell.
01:13:25I'm ready for justice to decide if I'm innocent or guilty.
01:13:29Now there are nine.
01:13:39There'll be more, many more.
01:13:43They're coming for me now.
01:13:53And then they'll come for you.
01:13:55And then they'll come for you.
01:14:07Ah!
01:14:09Ah!
01:14:11Ah!
01:14:13Ah!
01:14:15Ah!
01:14:17Ah!
01:14:25Ah!
