House on Haunted Hill (2016)

Full Overview

DO WHAT THOU WILT The real Frederick Lorraine returns to bribe the Lorraine dynasty to earn their due inheritance and ensure the continuation of his sovereign name in this epic sequel spin-off to House on Haunted Hill. Twins Donny and Dusky Lorraine were set to inherit millions when their grandfather, recluse Frederick Lorraine, mysteriously vanishes. Unfortunately, his money disappeared with him. On their eighteenth birthday, they orchestrate a confidential gathering of friends at a decrepit manor. They promise their friends wealthy party prizes so long as they survive the night. Following Frederick's instructions, they initiate a predestined ritual to regenerate a messiah and turn lead into gold. Only then will their grandfather’s missing fortune be bestowed. This screenplay tells the real story behind the Lorraine Dynasty and the legendary House on Haunted Hill. It is a spin-off, an early-nineties sequel timepiece and an original film that creates a new anthology to the classic haunted mansion films; The House on Haunted Hill (1959) and 13 Ghosts (1960). Both written by Robb White and directed by William Castle. With the original film being apart of the public domain, this fearless update is a rebirth of an archetype that ties classical fears of the twentieth century with epic neo-horror.
