AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
michaelasiclari This was one of the better B movies of the 50's. The film " Terror in the Haunted House " from 1958, is a creepy little movie with some fine performances by Gerald Mohr and Cathy O'Donnell. She plays a newlywed to husband Mohr, who has recurring dreams about a house she has never been to, or so she thinks. While this house isn't haunted, there is plenty of terror associated with it. With "weirdo" caretaker Jonah lurking about, you can understand why O'Donnell thinks she is losing her mind. I won't spoil the fun, and there's plenty of it in this film, so sit back and enjoy the plot twists and turns and the creepy and foreboding atmosphere! Try to ignore the "Psycho-Rama" gimmick, which flashes subliminal images and words across the screen. It might have been cutting edge back in 1958, but seems silly and unnecessary today.I have included this film on my list of Ten Best Horror Films of the 1950's. Enjoy!
kynolan97 SOO SPOOKY!!! "Terror in the Haunted House" is a really great movie! that i highly recommend! It has great acting, good special effects, and is scary(at times) but also has a funny twist to it. At times there were flashing funny cartoonfaces that would pop outduring some of the scary, suspenseful scenes, but they were out of placeand didn't really go with the plot of the story. Besides that, Cathy O'Donnell was excellent in the film! I think that this movie and "The Best Years of Our Lives" were her twobest films. If you want a thrill but also want to laugh, then I recommend this movie!
Mark Honhorst This was originally titled "My World Dies Screaming", and that's a much better title. I don't even know why they changed it to "Terror in the Haunted House", because there are no ghosts or demons in this film at all. I thought this movie had a great plot and storyline, but it was somewhat marred by irritating "subliminal" messages of devils, skulls, etc. These "messages" are only slightly startling, and used in only three scenes. The best ones say "rent Rhino videos everyday", and they were added by the Rhino company once they released it to home video. This was probably only meant to be a joke, but they could have had more sinister ideas in their head... Some people have called this movie boring, and that it looked more like a play than a movie. Well, think about it. The movie only had five speaking parts,and not many locations. Listen to the dialogue and try to come up with a picture in your mind for all of the events they discuss. When I did that, I got creeped out. Other pros to this film: Good (over)acting, exciting climax, a beautiful actress, and clever plot twists. Psycho- Rama was canceled the year it debuted. Some people probably think it was because it was too scary, but I think it was because it was lame.
bluebmwchick I saw this movie years ago with a group of friends. It's been awhile but I can still remember what the basic idea of the film was. A guy we know swore on his life that this movie would scare the hell out of us because of the subliminal messages cut into the film. We realized about half way through the movie however that he may or may not have been high when he watched the film (he had a bit of a drug problem at the time). We found the movie more funny than scary due to the subliminal cuts being very noticeable and goofy looking, and the plot and overly dramatic dialogue was the standard fare for a 50's horror film. That being said though, I do remember the film being interesting as a technical ground-breaker for the genre. "My World Dies Screaming" would defiantly be worth a look to someone who was into the work of guys like Ed Wood (this film is better put together than Ed's work, but still unintentionally hilarious).
