I saw this movie about five, six years ago, and I loved itI love Vincent Price's acting skills
I liked the scenes where "The Bat" was in the mansion, and the people were trying to either hide or discover exactly where he wasit was interesting, and had a lot of action for an old movie
Anyone else has thoughts on this movie? What do you think could've been improved?

Actually the 1926 version of The Bat was the inspiration for Batman.
I gotta tell you guys I love this movie, I've seen it since I was 2 years old, and I looooove it. They showed it on Turner Classic Movies last night and I was surprised even though I knew weeks ahead because as far back as I and my mother can remember, they have never shown The Bat on TV around here. They used to show House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price on HBO and Sci-fi a few times, but I have never seen the Bat get advertisement on TV, that was a real shocker for me, it's like all of a sudden, all the great, ignored, underrated movies are finally getting the attention they deserve. Personally, I think that's great, it beats today's movies. -

I really enjoy this movie, but, to answer the original poster's question, the one thing they could have done to make it better would be to
leave the freakin' mansion
! Yeah, if a dude broke into my house two nights in a row, I might think he was comin' back. It was just a bit unbelieveable to me that they kept staying. But, like I said, I really like this movie. Just, some of the character's actions were unbelieveable.

Haha, yes that would've made a lot of sense!! And I actually never thought of that myself!
But then again, running wouldn't have necessarily solved the problem because The Bat might've followed them, right?

The first time I saw the movie, I wasn't old enough to really be paying all that much attention to it, but my 76 year old neighbor got the guess right the first time she saw the movie last January. The thing I can't get is, when he's talking to the women "Let's face it ladies and get it over with, others have seen my face before they've died, but I'll have to deny you that pleasure", my mother says they should recognize his voice, but he doesn't really sound like he normally did. Anyone agree?

"my mother says they should recognize his voice, but he doesn't really sound like he normally did. Anyone agree?" novastar_6
I certainly didn't place the voice when I heard it. Like I said, the movie kept me guessing until the end.
I recently bought this on DVD and have only watched it once. I'll have to watch it again sometime to see if the killer's identity is more obvious knowing what I now know. -

Always nice to know I'm not alone here. I really can't believe that more people don't know about this moviemore seem to know about House on Haunted HillI love that movie with Vincent Price too, but that one never scared me, THIS movie scared me when I was younger, House on Haunted Hill is a horror masterpiece by some standards and I DO love it, but it never scared me.
The ending was just cheesy. I give it a 6 out of 10
