House of Wax and The Fly are early highlights, House on Haunted Hill pays strangers to survive a haunted night, The Fall of the House of Usher curses a family with madness, The Pit and the Pendulum uncovers secrets in a Spanish castle, and Theatre of Blood murders critics with Shakespearean deaths.
