TROY — It’s that time of year when movie fans get a hankering to see a Vincent Price film. The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center can help with that. On Oct. 4, 7 p.m., the Hayner Center will show House on Haunted Hill a 1959 American horror film. Friday Night Movies at the Hayner Center features classic movies with café style seating, popcorn and soda. All films are free and open to the public.
House on Haunted Hill is a cult classic that was produced and directed by William Castle. Vincent Price, Carol Ohmart, Richard Long and Carolyn Craig star in the movie. Price plays Frederick Loren, an eccentric millionaire who rents an allegedly haunted mansion for one night. He believes his wife, Annabelle, is after his fortune and pretends to host a party in her honor. He tells his guests they will receive a prize of $10,000 if they can survive one night in the house. The film is filled with plots and counter plots, as well as terrors that haunt the guests at every turn.
The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is proudly supported by the citizens of the Troy City School District through a local tax levy and generous gifts to the Friends of Hayner.
Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is located at 301 West Main Street, Troy.
