One of Vincent Price’s scariest - and campiest - film classics springs to the stage in this spooky new reimagining. The House on Haunted Hill tells the twisted tale of millionaire Frederick Lauren, his fourth, and least-favorite wife Annabelle, and five, money-hungry, gun-toting guests - each of whom will received fifty thousand dollars for staying the night in a supposedly haunted house. Filled with double crosses, jilted lovers, a wicked sense of humor, and a restless spirt or two, Haunted Hill proves to be a night you’ll never forget.

The House on Haunted Hill

    Jamerson takes on many of the creaky tropes of murder mysteries and horror movies and rejuvenates them with period-perfect 1950’s-style dialogue, sly wit, and even a dash of Me-Too-era female empowerment. The large cast of characters gives every actor his or her big moment, and the play is also an invitation to inventive directors and designers to let their imaginations soar in creating high or low-tech special effects and shockers. Everyone in the audience, onstage, and behind the scenes will have a rollicking good time with this one.
