House of the Damned

13 keys open the doors to the house haunted by the living dead!

House of the Damned (1963) follows an architect and his wife who are sent to survey an abandoned mansion, only to sense that they are not alone within its decaying halls. As strange figures appear in the shadows and unexplained events intensify, the couple faces mounting psychological tension while trying to uncover who—or what—is haunting the property. This gothic-tinged mystery blends eerie atmosphere, creeping suspense, and off-kilter character reveals in a compact tale of isolation and dread.

  Lacking the wit, craftsmanship, and campy scares of House on Haunted Hill, as well as the outré resolution and intriguing characters, the bloodless and action-less House of the Damned should be boarded up and condemned.
