00:00:00I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you
00:00:30The ghosts are moving tonight, restless, hungry.
00:00:53May I introduce myself?
00:00:56I'm Watson Pritchard.
00:00:59In 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.
00:01:16I've only spent one night there, and when they found me in the morning, I was almost dead.
00:01:31I'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.
00:01:42She's so amusing.
00:01:44There'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, or your next of kin in case you don't survive.
00:02:02Ah, 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.
00:02:19I dreamed up the hearse.
00:02:21It's empty now, but after a night in the house on Haunted Hill, who knows?
00:02:28This is Lance Schroeder, a test pilot, so 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, if he's brave enough to stay all night.
00:02:44This is Ruth Bridges.
00:02:46You'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, a man living in mortal fear of a house,
00:03:04and yet he is risking his life to spend another night here.
00:03:07I wonder why.
00:03:09He says for money.
00:03:13This is Dr. David Trent, a psychiatrist.
00:03:16He claims that my ghosts 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?
00:03:43The party's starting now,
00:03:46and you have until midnight to find the house on Haunted Hill.
00:04:16♪♪
00:04:26♪♪
00:04:36♪♪
00:04:46♪♪
00:04:56♪♪
00:05:06♪♪
00:05:16♪♪
00:05:26♪♪
00:05:36♪♪
00:05:46♪♪
00:05:56♪♪
00:06:06♪♪
00:06:16♪♪
00:06:26Well, where is everybody?
00:06:36It isn't a very warm welcome, is it?
00:06:38Only the ghosts in this house are glad we're here.
00:06:43Are we all strangers to each other?
00:06:46Don't you two know each other?
00:06:48I'm afraid I don't even know your name.
00:06:50I'm Nora Manning.
00:06:51Lance Schroeder.
00:06:53This is 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.
00:07:02Just 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?
00:07:15Millions.
00:07:16And five wives, I believe.
00:07:18Four, I think, so far.
00:07:20A $50,000 party for only five people is a little steep,
00:07:23even for a millionaire.
00:07:28Well, if I were going to haunt anybody,
00:07:30this would certainly be the house I'd do it in.
00:07:37Who closed the door?
00:07:39This thing's made of solid steel.
00:08:10Annabelle.
00:08:12Our guests are here and fortunately still alive.
00:08:15Is your face on yet?
00:08:20Dust and dirt everywhere.
00:08:22The water barely trickles.
00:08:24Couldn't you have had the place cleaned?
00:08:26Atmosphere, darling.
00:08:27You know how ghosts are.
00:08:28They're never tidy.
00:08:29They're always on the move.
00:08:31I'm sure you've seen them before.
00:08:33I'm sure you've seen them before.
00:08:35I'm sure you've seen them before.
00:08:37Darling, you know how ghosts are.
00:08:38They never tidy up.
00:08:40That's a very fetching outfit,
00:08:42but 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,
00:08:51I want you to have fun.
00:08:53The 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?
00:09:03No, your jealousy took care of that.
00:09:06I had a reason for inviting each guest.
00:09:09I wanted kind of a cross-section,
00:09:11from psychiatrist to typist
00:09:14and from drunk to jet pilot.
00:09:17They share one thing.
00:09:18They all need money.
00:09:20Now let's see if they're brave enough to earn it.
00:09:24And you call this a party?
00:09:26Could be.
00:09:32Why do you always do that?
00:09:33It spoils the champagne.
00:09:35It might explode.
00:09:37Never does.
00:09:39Would you guarantee that?
00:09:42That isn't funny, Frederick.
00:09:44Make a good headline.
00:09:45Playboy kills wife with champagne cork.
00:09:50Will you join me?
00:09:52No, thank you.
00:09:54Just a sip might improve your humor.
00:09:57My humor is fine, thanks.
00:09:59And I haven't poisoned it.
00:10:02It's always good to know that.
00:10:09Have some.
00:10:10You'll enjoy the party more.
00:10:13Go on.
00:10:23Your trust is so touching.
00:10:25And I'm not going to the party.
00:10:27Of all my wives, you're the least agreeable.
00:10:30You're still alive.
00:10:32Would you go away for a million dollars, tax-free?
00:10:37You want it all, don't you?
00:10:39I deserve it all.
00:10:41Your jealousy isn't tax-free.
00:10:44Your possessiveness is maddening.
00:10:47If 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.
00:11:00Do you remember the fun we had when you poisoned me?
00:11:05Something 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.
00:11:27In case you get any more ideas.
00:11:30Don't let the ghosts and the ghouls disturb you, darling.
00:11:34Darling, the only ghoul in the house is you.
00:11:38And don't sit up all night thinking of ways to get rid of me.
00:11:42It makes wrinkles.
00:11:58This is what she used on my brother and her sister.
00:12:01Hacked them to pieces.
00:12:03We found parts of the bodies all over the house.
00:12:05In places you wouldn't think.
00:12:08The funny thing is the heads have never been found.
00:12:11Hands 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, took a swing at him and simply went on from there.
00:12:22She certainly went on.
00:12:24How many people did she kill, Mr. Pritchard?
00:12:26Only two.
00:12:28Her husband and her sister. No one else was here.
00:12:30So there are two loose heads just floating around in here somewhere?
00:12:34You can hear them at night.
00:12:36They whisper to each other.
00:12:38And then cry.
00:12:40Since our host isn't here, would anyone care to mix me a drink?
00:12:44Certainly. What will you have?
00:12:50Good evening.
00:12:53I'm your host, Frederick Loren.
00:12:56Since we're all strangers to each other, let's get acquainted with a drink, shall we?
00:13:00Mr. Loren.
00:13:02I advise you to call this party off now.
00:13:05The ghosts are already moving and that's a bad sign.
00:13:08Let me apologize for my wife. She'll join us later.
00:13:10What will you have?
00:13:11Scotch and...
00:13:12Doctor?
00:13:13I'll have the same.
00:13:15Now, before the party begins, let's go over the details.
00:13:20The 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.
00:13:37There's no electricity, no phone, no one within miles.
00:13:42So, no way to call for help.
00:13:46Like a coffin.
00:13:50So, 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.
00:14:00I'm interested in your reasons for this party.
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.
00:14:17And now my wife has given us all the opportunity to find out.
00:14:21Amusing.
00:14:22Ghosts, etc., being only creations of hysteria, your 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.
00:14:42And three women.
00:14:43You planned your party very well, Mr. Loren.
00:14:46Four of us are men, three are women.
00:14:49A ghost for everybody.
00:14:51Well, Pritchard, why don't you take us on a tour through the house and let's see what happens.
00:15:06See that stain?
00:15:08Blood.
00:15:11A 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?
00:15:17Where?
00:15:30It's too late.
00:15:31They've marked you.
00:15:32Ridiculous.
00:15:33The roof probably leaks.
00:15:34Well, 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, 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?
00:15:50That was in the cellar.
00:15:51There's been a murder almost every place in this house.
00:16:11All this belonged to a Mr. Norton.
00:16:14Who 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.
00:16:28So he filled the vat with acid and threw her in.
00:16:33She was supposed to stay down.
00:16:36But the bones came up.
00:16:39It's a funny thing.
00:16:41But none of the murders here were just ordinary.
00:16:45Just shooting or stabbing.
00:16:49They've all been sort of wild.
00:16:52Violent and different.
00:16:54Look out!
00:16:57God, she didn't fall in.
00:16:59You mean there's still acid in there?
00:17:26Destroys everything with hair and flesh.
00:17:30Just leaves the bones.
00:17:44My, it's dry and dusty down here.
00:17:48Well, there's a cure for that upstairs.
00:17:52Come on.
00:18:06How did you get invited to this party?
00:18:10Oh, go on.
00:18:13I mean, what did he tell you?
00:18:18Mr. Lawrence said everybody would get $10,000.
00:18:21But he didn't say anything about being locked in.
00:18:24No.
00:18:26He just made a deal with me on the phone.
00:18:28But nothing about having to stay.
00:18:31Aren't you going to stay?
00:18:33If I don't, I lose $10,000.
00:18:37I'm going to stay too.
00:18:40$10,000.
00:18:42Yeah.
00:18:44You believe in ghosts?
00:18:47I don't know.
00:18:49Well, I agree with what that doc says.
00:18:51You can spook yourself.
00:18:52I've done it in planes.
00:18:54Seen things that weren't really there.
00:18:56Or were they?
00:18:59What are you going to do with your $10,000?
00:19:01If we get it.
00:19:03What do you mean, if we get it?
00:19:05Won't he pay us if we stay?
00:19:07Sure he will.
00:19:08$10,000 is no more to him than a nickel is to us.
00:19:12We were in an automobile accident.
00:19:14Now 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.
00:19:49Closet.
00:19:58Does it go anywhere?
00:20:02Lance!
00:20:04Lance!
00:20:09Lance!
00:20:18Lance!
00:20:49Help me.
00:20:51Please.
00:20:52Lance is gone, and there's a ghost.
00:20:54See what I mean?
00:20:55Please, come on.
00:20:57Did she say Lance is gone?
00:20:59Gone where?
00:21:02We'll have to break it down. It's locked.
00:21:04Locked?
00:21:12C'mon.
00:21:14I know where he is.
00:21:16I know where he is.
00:21:18He's in the closet.
00:21:20I know where he is.
00:21:22He's in the closet.
00:21:24I know where he is.
00:21:26I know where he is.
00:21:28He's in the closet.
00:21:30You 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 is 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.
00:21:59I wonder why they didn't kill him.
00:22:02Who?
00:22:04He didn't bump his head. They hit him.
00:22:08They?
00:22:28Nora, when you came in you said something about a ghost.
00:22:40There 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.
00:22:48Weren't you a little frightened at the time?
00:22:51Well, yes.
00:22:53That, Mr. Loren, is hysteria.
00:22:57Well, then, doctor, how do you explain what happened to Lance? Was that hysteria too?
00:23:05You better get that checked in a day or so.
00:23:07Thanks, Doc.
00:23:16Wait for me in the hall.
00:23:23The ghosts are coming closer, Mr. Loren.
00:23:25You really believe in your pet ghost, don't you, Pritchard?
00:23:28Before the night's over, you will, too.
00:23:31Wouldn't you like a drink, Lance?
00:23:33No, thanks.
00:23:34I'd like one. It's got to end.
00:23:44Mr. Loren, are you really going to pay anyone who stays all night?
00:23:47Certainly. Ten thousand dollars.
00:23:50Will there be much red tape or delay?
00:23:53In a hurry, dear?
00:23:54Frankly, yes. Or frantically.
00:24:00There you are, my dear.
00:24:22Someone or something was in here when I came in.
00:24:26But 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.
00:24:51That sound different to you?
00:24:53Yes.
00:25:06Three, six, nine, twelve.
00:25:11Twelve feet.
00:25:20Three, six.
00:25:23I'm going to knock on the other wall. When you hear me, you knock on this wall.
00:25:34Tap lower down.
00:25:43Lance!
00:25:57I saw it again.
00:26:08Where did it come from?
00:26:10From in here.
00:26:17What if it ran out of here? I'd have seen it.
00:26:20Lance, it doesn't run. It just floats.
00:26:24Yeah, but why didn't I see it?
00:26:28You don't believe me.
00:26:30How can I?
00:26:52I'm Annabelle Lauren.
00:26:57You must be Miss Manning.
00:26:59I realize this is a very unusual and, I'm afraid, very dull party.
00:27:03Wouldn't you like to freshen up?
00:27:16This is your room.
00:27:18Depressing, isn't it?
00:27:21I doubt if I'll spend much time here.
00:27:23It's going to rain.
00:27:25Perfect atmosphere for my husband's party.
00:27:31Why did you come here?
00:27:33He said he'd give me $10,000.
00:27:36Why did he pick you?
00:27:38I don't know. My supervisor just came and said I'd been invited.
00:27:46How long have you known my husband?
00:27:48I just met him tonight.
00:27:50So?
00:27:53Why you?
00:27:59What were you doing wandering around by yourself?
00:28:02Well, I was in the cellar with Lance, Mr. Schroeder, and I just left, that's all.
00:28:10Don't do it again.
00:28:12Don't go anywhere in this house by yourself.
00:28:17Now fix your face and I'll come by for you in a few minutes.
00:28:20But I...
00:28:21You're in danger.
00:28:23We all are.
00:28:25But who?
00:28:27I hope for your sake you never find out.
00:28:44I'm Annabelle Lauren. Were 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. You've hurt yourself.
00:28:53Oh, it's just a bump on the head.
00:28:57Which is my room?
00:28:59I believe this is it.
00:29:01Thank you, Mrs. Lauren.
00:29:04Annabelle Lance.
00:29:17You were with the young girl in the cellar. Why was she so upset?
00:29:20Was 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.
00:29:31She was just frightened then.
00:29:33Ann mad at me, I think. I kidded her about it.
00:29:36I wouldn't joke about anything else that happens here tonight.
00:29:39Now don't tell me you're taking all this seriously.
00:29:43Aren't you?
00:29:45Well, I'd like to find out what hit me.
00:29:48Lance.
00:29:52If I need help, may I count on you?
00:29:56Sure, I guess so.
00:29:59Look, what's going on here anyway? I mean, what is with this party bit?
00:30:03This is no party. He's planning something.
00:30:06Your husband?
00:30:07I wish I knew what it was.
00:30:09Must be pretty big if he's going to lay out 50,000.
00:30:12The money doesn't mean anything.
00:30:14He has a reason for getting us all up here to this dreadful old house.
00:30:18What for? He doesn't even know us.
00:30:21Maybe that's exactly why you're here.
00:30:24What can he get away with?
00:30:26Oh, 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.
00:30:35The other two died.
00:30:38Lance, I don't want to join them.
00:30:43You mean he...
00:30:44Oh, his doctor said they died of heart attacks.
00:30:48Two girls in their 20s.
00:30:52Well, what can he do?
00:30:54My husband is sometimes insane with jealousy.
00:30:56Nothing matters to him then.
00:30:59Please be careful.
00:31:01Would he hurt you?
00:31:04He would kill me if he could.
00:31:14Annabelle, you're missing all the fun.
00:31:17Nora Manning was almost killed by a falling chandelier.
00:31:20The pilot bashed his head in.
00:31:22Is he badly hurt?
00:31:24The Saturday night psychiatrist bandaged him up.
00:31:27Don't you want to go and console him?
00:31:29As you do most men.
00:31:32I don't want to.
00:31:34I don't want to.
00:31:37I don't want to.
00:31:40Don't you want to go and console him?
00:31:42As you do most men.
00:31:44In your fashion.
00:31:46You're so clever, Frederick.
00:31:48Yes, I lie awake nights wondering why I married you.
00:31:51It was rather a mistake.
00:31:53You didn't marry me, dear, I married you.
00:31:55Unpleasant, but no mistake.
00:31:59Hurry up.
00:32:00Frederick, for the last time, I'm not going to your party.
00:32:04And for the last time, it's not my party, but yours.
00:32:08And you are going.
00:32:11I am not.
00:32:13Are you ready, dear?
00:32:14No.
00:32:16Are you ready, dear?
00:32:18Yes, damn you.
00:32:20Would you adore me as much if I were poor?
00:32:24All 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.
00:32:35I wonder how it will end.
00:32:56It's close to midnight, Lance.
00:32:58Okay, I'll be down in a minute.
00:33:06Who is it?
00:33:07Your host, my dear.
00:33:10It's almost midnight, Nora.
00:33:12We're all going to get together down in the living room.
00:33:14All right, Mr. Lloyd, I'll be right down.
00:33:35No!
00:34:06Come with us.
00:34:08Come with us before he kills you.
00:34:24Where's Nora?
00:34:25Miss Manning?
00:34:26Miss Manning?
00:34:27Miss Manning?
00:34:28Miss Manning?
00:34:29Miss Manning?
00:34:31Miss Manning?
00:34:32Miss Manning?
00:34:33Where's Nora?
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.
00:35:08Doctor, it looks like we have a real case of hysteria on our hands.
00:35:12I think she's just a little upset.
00:35:14Not hysterical.
00:35:22Good evening.
00:35:27Hello, my dear.
00:35:29This is my wife.
00:35:31These are our guests.
00:35:33Ruth Bridges, Dr. Trent.
00:35:36You know Watson Pritchard, of course.
00:35:38Nora Manning, and this is Lance Schroeder.
00:35:48Get me out of here.
00:35:50What about the $10,000?
00:35:52I don't care. He wants to kill me.
00:35:54Who wants to kill you?
00:35:56Mr. Lawrence.
00:35:58May I have your attention, please?
00:36:00I think you all remember the bargain we made about staying all night.
00:36:05$10,000 apiece.
00:36:07If any of you don't survive,
00:36:10$50,000 will be divided amongst the rest of you.
00:36:13If I should die...
00:36:19you will be paid by my estate.
00:36:21When the door is locked from the outside by the caretakers,
00:36:24we'll all be forced to stay in this house until morning.
00:36:27If any of you decide not to stay, you must leave with the caretakers now.
00:36:31You won't have a chance to change your minds later,
00:36:34because there'll be no way to get out.
00:36:36I don't want to stay.
00:36:38Wait.
00:36:58It isn't midnight yet. Who told them they could leave?
00:37:01They never leave before midnight.
00:37:03Well, they've gone now.
00:37:05I was going to ask you whether you wanted to stay or not,
00:37:08but it seems that the caretakers have made the decision for you.
00:37:11We're all locked in now.
00:37:13But I don't want to stay.
00:37:15I'm sorry, my dear, but it's too late now.
00:37:18Darling, haven't you had enough of this silly game?
00:37:22Get some cars up here.
00:37:24Get some cars up here for these people and let them go home.
00:37:27But pay them first.
00:37:31This is your party, remember?
00:37:36In spite of my wife's faith in my ability to do the impossible,
00:37:40we will all have to stay in this house until 8 o'clock in the morning.
00:37:44But we have some party favors for you in these little coffins.
00:37:55This is my wife's idea.
00:37:57I must say, I think it's rather dangerous.
00:38:00I suppose you all know how to use one of these things,
00:38:03but in case you don't,
00:38:05you just press down on this lever with your thumb
00:38:08and then pull the trigger.
00:38:13You see, they're loaded.
00:38:17These are no good against the dead, only the living.
00:38:20Doctor?
00:38:24Nance?
00:38:28Nora?
00:38:31Go ahead, take it.
00:38:37Miss Bridgers?
00:38:44And here's yours, dear.
00:38:46I don't need it.
00:38:48It was your idea.
00:38:50Who knows, you may want to use it on me before this night is over.
00:38:56Throw these guns away. They won't do you any good.
00:38:59I agree with Pritchard on that point,
00:39:01although not for the same reason.
00:39:03Dr. Trent.
00:39:06Don't you approve of our little party favors?
00:39:11Suppose Nora had had a gun
00:39:13when she mistook the blind woman for a ghost.
00:39:15I don't think anyone else is going to walk around in total darkness.
00:39:19Oh, I'm sure we're not going to go running around the house
00:39:22shooting each other, aren't you?
00:39:24Who knows?
00:39:26Fear makes people do amazing things.
00:39:33Mr. Pritchard,
00:39:35you said your sister-in-law killed a man and a woman here
00:39:38and cut them up?
00:39:40You said they found hands and feet,
00:39:42but they never found any heads.
00:39:44Would you like to see one of those heads?
00:39:46Would you all like to see one of those heads?
00:39:49Well, then, just follow me.
00:39:59Darling,
00:40:01I really don't need this.
00:40:15Just go look in my suitcase.
00:40:17Just go look.
00:40:32But it was in there!
00:40:34A woman's head!
00:40:36Nora, I think you're a little upset.
00:40:39Would you care for a sedative?
00:40:41Get out! Get out, all of you!
00:40:43All of you, get out of here and leave me alone!
00:40:46Just get out of here!
00:40:52Do you think it's all right to leave her by herself, Doctor?
00:40:55I wish she'd taken the sedative.
00:40:57What do you suppose she thought she saw?
00:40:59They're closing in on her.
00:41:01Look, Doc, I think somebody ought to stay with her.
00:41:03There could be a million people around her.
00:41:05If they wanted her, they'd get her.
00:41:07What if he's right?
00:41:09He's too drunk to know what he's talking about.
00:41:11I wonder.
00:41:13I'll join you in a minute.
00:41:21Do you think it would do any good if you went in and talked to her?
00:41:24Do you think there really was a head in her suitcase?
00:41:27I don't know.
00:41:29A thing like that would put me right over the edge.
00:41:32But would you?
00:41:34That would put me right over the edge.
00:41:36But would you sort of stay up here?
00:41:38I mean, in case she needs help?
00:41:40All right.
00:41:42I'll be in my room. Just call if you need me.
00:41:45Thanks.
00:41:58Are you sure there are only seven people in this house?
00:42:00Positive, except 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.
00:42:12What do you suggest we do about it, Doctor?
00:42:14Don't frighten her anymore.
00:42:33Nora?
00:42:41Nora?
00:42:45Nora?
00:42:55Nora?
00:43:03Nora?
00:43:19Nora?
00:43:22Nora?
00:43:34What do you know about this?
00:43:36They've taken her.
00:43:38In a little while, she'll be one of them.
00:43:41Where's Nora?
00:43:44Where is she?
00:43:45It's too late. It's too late.
00:43:47You'll never find her again.
00:43:49Pritchard, if you know where she is, you better tell me now.
00:43:51She's gone. She's gone with them.
00:43:53And there's nothing you can do about it.
00:44:03Nora.
00:44:09Nora.
00:44:20Take her down.
00:44:33Nora.
00:44:57Nora?
00:45:00She's dead, Mr. Lauren.
00:45:03Your wife hanged herself.
00:45:06Suicide.
00:45:29Lance.
00:45:31Nora.
00:45:32Lance, hide me. Please, hide me.
00:45:34What's the matter?
00:45:35Hide me.
00:45:45He tried to kill me.
00:45:48He grabbed me and choked me and put me in that room.
00:45:52He tried to kill me.
00:45:54He grabbed me and choked me and put me in that room.
00:45:57And then he went away and left me.
00:45:59Who?
00:46:01He thought I was dead.
00:46:03Who?
00:46:05Mr. Lauren.
00:46:08Are you sure about this?
00:46:11I don't know. It was dark, but it must have been him.
00:46:16Has anybody seen you since he left you?
00:46:19I heard some people in that room, but I went by and nobody saw me.
00:46:23Mrs. Lauren is dead.
00:46:26But how?
00:46:32Lauren said she committed suicide.
00:46:34But I think somebody killed her.
00:46:36Him?
00:46:53Yes.
00:47:19I'm sure you've come to the same conclusion I have.
00:47:21Yes, I think so.
00:47:23Let's all have a meeting and discuss what to do.
00:47:25The living room?
00:47:27Okay. In a minute.
00:47:43I have to go downstairs.
00:47:45Lock yourself in here and don't let anyone know you're here.
00:47:48If 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.
00:47:58And if you have to, you use it.
00:48:51So beautiful.
00:48:55So greedy.
00:48:58So cold.
00:49:05What are you doing in here?
00:49:07Wait. Don't wait.
00:49:09What do you mean, coming in here?
00:49:11I didn't want them to take her away.
00:49:13You're drunk.
00:49:14They will if you don't watch it.
00:49:15You're drunk. All right, out with it, Bridget.
00:49:17Why did you come into this room?
00:49:18I'm the only one who understands.
00:49:19Understands what?
00:49:21Your wife isn't there anymore.
00:49:23She's already joined them.
00:49:25Look, Bridget, I've had enough of your spook talk.
00:49:28Get out, you sot, and don't come back into this room again.
00:49:49Come on.
00:50:08Where's what's-her-name?
00:50:10Nora.
00:50:12I didn't disturb her since I don't think this concerns her.
00:50:15No, you're right.
00:50:18Lauren, 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.
00:50:35We've got to stay.
00:50:38I'm not afraid of your ghosts, Bridget.
00:50:43But I am afraid.
00:50:46When we came here a few hours ago,
00:50:48the 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.
00:50:58So far tonight,
00:51:00one of us was almost killed by a falling chandelier.
00:51:03One of us was mysteriously slugged.
00:51:06One of us has been driven to the brink of absolute hysteria.
00:51:11And 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.
00:51:26Time enough.
00:51:27Who'll be next?
00:51:29How will it happen?
00:51:32Let 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?
00:51:42No.
00:51:44Did any of you?
00:51:49There was nothing.
00:51:51How, then, did she get up there so high?
00:51:54Exactly, Mr. Lauren. How?
00:51:56She couldn't have pulled herself up there.
00:51:58She couldn't have dropped from the ceiling.
00:52:01Do you think your wife killed herself?
00:52:04No.
00:52:06She was murdered...
00:52:08by one of you.
00:52:13Or you, Mr. Lauren.
00:52:16To deliberately kill someone, you must have a reason.
00:52:19We were all strangers to your wife.
00:52:21Only you had a motive for murder.
00:52:25What husband hasn't at some time wanted to kill his wife?
00:52:29What husband hasn't had a thousand opportunities to do it in such a way so that he'd never be suspected?
00:52:34I'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. We 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?
00:53:02Why not? Maybe one of us saw too much.
00:53:08Why 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? 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. Somebody killed Mrs. Lauren. We know that.
00:53:25One of us is guilty and the rest of us are innocent. Okay.
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.
00:53:37Just know that I'm going to my room. And if anybody comes in, I'll shoot him.
00:53:41Or her.
00:53:43And 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.
00:53:53Then we'll all agree.
00:53:55Oh, I wish this night were over.
00:54:00Rooms? Guns?
00:54:03I tell you, it doesn't make any difference.
00:54:06They aren't through with us yet.
00:54:37What's the use of saying good night?
00:54:53Good night.
00:55:06Good night, Doctor.
00:55:36Good night.
00:56:06Good night.
00:56:36Good night.
00:57:06Good night.
00:57:37Nora, it's me, Lance.
00:57:45You okay?
00:57:47They've all gone to their rooms and locked themselves in.
00:57:50Lance, I've been thinking.
00:57:52It was so dark down there. Maybe it wasn't Mr. Lorne.
00:57:55It was him, all right.
00:57:57He tried to kill you and he did kill his wife.
00:58:01How can he be so sure?
00:58:04How can he be so sure?
00:58:06She tried to warn me. Asked me to help her.
00:58:09The 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.
00:58:18I'm going with you.
00:58:20If he finds out you're alive...
00:58:22No, Nora. You're safer here than anyplace 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.
00:59:03I'll be right back.
00:59:33I'll be right back.
01:00:03No!
01:00:33No!
01:00:52No!
01:00:54No!
01:01:03No!
01:01:12No!
01:01:33No!
01:02:03No!
01:02:33No!
01:02:57An admission of guilt, Doctor?
01:02:59Certainly not.
01:03:01There's either somebody else in this house or one of us has left his room.
01:03:04Did you hear anything?
01:03:09Organ music?
01:03:11That. And someone walking.
01:03:15You got yours?
01:03:18Ready?
01:03:20You look downstairs and I'll look up here.
01:03:23Why not together?
01:03:25There may be only minutes, seconds left of someone's life.
01:03:27Why waste time?
01:03:31Let's go.
01:04:01Come on.
01:04:23It's almost over, darling.
01:04:26Every detail was perfect.
01:04:31No.
01:04:42What's happening?
01:04:44We've done it.
01:04:46A perfect crime.
01:04:48Beautiful.
01:04:50Has she killed him?
01:04:52Not yet, but she will.
01:04:57Get me out of this hanging harness.
01:05:01But taking that girl so long, what time is it?
01:05:04At first, I couldn't get Nora to want to protect herself with a gun.
01:05:07But after you appeared at the window, everything began to work just as we had planned.
01:05:10You were wonderful.
01:05:12Just the touch that finally drove her into complete hysteria.
01:05:15It'll be worth all of our planning, darling.
01:05:18Where's Nora now?
01:05:20What's happening?
01:05:22On her way to the cellar. So scared she'll shoot the first thing that moves.
01:05:25And Frederick?
01:05:27On his way to the cellar, too.
01:05:29David, are you sure none of them will suspect us?
01:05:31Of what?
01:05:33An hysterical girl accidentally shoots somebody?
01:05:35Who would suspect that we planned it that way, that we drove her to it?
01:05:38What about my suicide?
01:05:40Just a ghost party gag.
01:05:42We'll claim it was a dummy, since I'm the only one who touched you.
01:05:44And the caretakers?
01:05:46Well, they had no idea what they were really doing.
01:05:48What about Nora? She's not stupid, you know.
01:05:50Darling, believe me, everything we planned is working perfectly.
01:05:54Nora is sure Frederick murdered you.
01:05:56She 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, your hanging.
01:06:02I tell you, when Frederick walks in there, she'll shoot him.
01:06:04It's taking too long.
01:06:06David, you ought to be there.
01:06:18When you hear the shot, come down to the cellar.

01:07:28No. No!
01:07:37No!
01:07:39No!
01:07:58No!
01:08:28No!

01:13:09You didn't shoot anyone, my dear.
01:13:12I loaded your gun with blanks.
01:13:15I can tell you all now.
01:13:18Trent and my wife were planning to kill me.
01:13:21They failed.
01:13:24Trent tried to throw me in the vat.
01:13:27My wife stumbled and fell.
01:13:30I'm ready for justice to decide if I'm innocent or guilty.
01:13:56Now there are nine.
01:13:59There'll be more, many more.
01:14:05They're coming for me now.
01:14:10And then they'll come for you.
