...because the person in the seat next to you will probably be screaming too!
You've got to love this campy cult classic from William Castle. Vincent Price is great as always, but the supporting characters are really good also, which can sometimes be hard to find in this kind of movie.
The opening 'screaming' sequence can be a little annoying, but it's all in keeping with the fun you have watching this classic.
Be ready to laugh!
