Terror in the Haunted House (1958) My World Dies Screaming

Published on March 3 2011 by goretide-media

"Terror in the Haunted House" was a limited production and its big come-on was being 'The First Picture in Psycho-Rama!". This involved the use of subliminal overlays - amounting to frame insertion - the prevailing theory being that at 1/25th of a second although your conscious mind might not pick up the suggestive imagery - your subconscious mind will. This was to heighten your sense of fear. The technique actually works (see William Friedkin use of it in The Exorcist) but was done far too ham-fisted in "Terror in the Haunted House" as it has been hence proven that the human subconscious can pick up even more 'subtle' cloaking. The overlays in "Terror in the Haunted House" are visually bold and cartoonish - quite visible if you are looking for them.

As far as a film goes "Terror in the Haunted House" works because of its storyline and performances. After a whirlwind romance a newlywed bride is escorted by her husband for a Florida vacation to recover from nightmares, only to discover that their rented house is the very one she's been dreaming of. The weaknesses are the production limitations (only 5 cast players and no special effects). Accepting those lack-of-attributes and you have a decent film. The subliminal inputs are obvious and because of this it elevates the film's camp value to a desirable level. I think this is a lot of nostalgic fun and I recommend!
