🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 House on Haunted Hill was a huge box office success and Alfred Hitchcock noticed. It inspired him to make his own low-budget horror film, Psycho (1960). William Castle, in turn, imitated Hitchcock's work in his later films, for example Homicidal (1961). #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️ TRIVIA ON HAUNTED HILL 🏠🦇💀😱 How about that opening? Imagine you are a teen in a dark theater back in 1959 listening to those noises on a high-volume theatrical sound system. Pretty scary. It was so powerful that it started the idea of novelty "haunting records" of spooky sounds, sound effects, and music that we use for Halloween, Halloween parties, and haunted house attractions. #Monsterdon #HouseOnHauntedHill #VincentPrice #Halloween #HouseOnHauntedHill1959
