House On Haunted Hill - Source Of Unspeakable Horrors Baphomet Idol - Complete Franchise Explained
There is something about insanity and asylums that horror movies love using time and again. It is probably because the unpredictability of craziness adds to the scary quotient, and House on Haunted Hill does utilize the mental derangement clichés to a great effect. The remake of William Castle’s 1959 classic was burdened by heavy expectations. Starring Vincent Price and equipped with some gripping storytelling, the original movie was a showstopper! However, the remake turned out to be an impressive rework of the cult classic and a cast of well-known faces like Geoffrey Rush and Peter Gallagher only made things better. This 1999 flick retains the essence of horror movies from the 50s, but also adds the modern touch with a mysterious narrative and some dark humor.
One could argue that the CGI is dated, but the practical effects and makeup skills are terrific. It is no surprise that veteran artist Dick Smith was in charge. The House on Haunted Hill stands as one of the most criminally underrated modern horror gems, and you must experience the fun of the narrative. In this video, we will operate on the 1999 remake and the sequel that was released in 2007. Stay with us as we dive deep into the horror of the darkness, the Baphomet idol, and fish out many more lesser-known details about these films.
