The Legend of Hell House

“For the sake of your sanity, pray it isn't true!”

A wealthy man pays a physicist, Dr. Lionel Barrett (Clive Revill), to settle the question of life after death by spending one week inside Hell House, where earlier investigators were killed or lost their minds. Barrett brings his wife Ann (Gayle Hunnicutt) and the young medium Florence Tanner (Pamela Franklin). John Hough, working from Richard Matheson's own script, keeps the cameras tight on the four of them inside the house.
