that is my point, a pool of acid in your basement, wonderful wonderful, and the great line, [talking about the basement] Elisha Cook JR, this all belong to a MR Norton , who didn't die here he was electrucuted later. MR Norton did alot of experimenting with wine, but his wife didn't like it, so he filled up a vat of acid and threw her in [ha ha], then a little later to amuse the guests, he takes a dead rat he finds in the basement drops it in the acid and says , it destroys everything, hair and flesh, just leaves the bones. The movie is so constantly fun.Why don't other directors do films this unique, back in the 80's i wrote a screenplay like a remake of HOHH, it was nothing liked the 99 remake, mine was [can't say it hear, someone might steal the idea.

Von Dexter who did the fine music for this film, wrote the very catchy theme for This is your life?

Some information on the HOUSE on haunted hill.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William Castle eschews standard Gothic, and uses Frank Lloyd Wright’s superb Ennis-Brown House, a Mayan-temple influenced structure built of pre-cast concrete blocks. The house, built in 1924, suffered years of neglect. After the release of the movie, it was nightly besieged by bozos, hurling bottles.
It was slightly damaged in the 1994 Los Angeles quake, too. A frequent location for movies, ads and music videos, you can see the house as a movie producer’s home in Lawrence Kasdan’s Grand Canyon and John Schlesinger’s Day of the Locust, as a villain’s hideout in The Karate Kid III and Ridley Scott’s Black Rain, but perhaps most famously in another Ridley Scott movie, as Harrison Ford”s futuristic home in Blade Runner.
The house is on a slope below Griffith Park, at 2607 Glendower Avenue, Los Feliz, Los Angeles. The 1994 earthquake and subsequent rainstorms have seriously damaged the Ennis House, and in March 2005, the concrete block masterpiece was declared uninhabitable and unsafe.
Urgent measures are needed to stabilise the damaged retaining wall and repair the roof. The Ennis House Foundation is committed to restoring the house, aiming to raise $6-10 million to complete the work and to keep the Ennis House operating as a house museum to be enjoyed by the public. Check out the website and help preserve this classic location.
For the campy 1999 remake, the amusement park was largely a model, based on a real park in Orlando, Florida. The house itself consisted of miniatures and matte paintings. Only the entrance is real. It’s the art deco frontage of the Griffith Observatory, 2800 East Observatory Road in Griffith Park, Los Angeles (previously a major location for Rebel Without a Cause).
