The House on Haunted Hill (1959)

"Vincent Price gives a stellar performance as the suavely malevolent host of a "haunted house party" who offers his guests $10,000 if they can survive a night in the murderous mansion.
Watch for the great Elisha Cook Jr,(he played Wilmer in the "Maltese Falcon") as the groveling homeowner.

The eerie looking home used for the exterior shots is the Ennis Brown house in Los Angeles, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1924. It was later used in the films "Blade Runner", "Black Rain", and "Rocketeer"." Internet Archive Notes

Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing

City of Dead/Horror Hotel (1960) - "College student Nan Barlow visits the village of Whitewood as research for her paper on witchcraft in New England, particularly the case of Elizabeth Selwyn. Her tutor, Professor Alan Driscoll(Lee), recommends the Raven's Inn, run by a Mrs. Newless. Rather unwisely, given the amount of low-hanging fog outside(and against the advice of Mrs. Newless), Nan takes an immediate interest in the basement." Internet Archive Notes.

Christopher Lee, Vincent Price, John Carradine and Peter Cushing - Interestingly all born on May 27, 1922 .

[Magersfontein]

Close! 27 May 1922 is Christopher Lee's date of birth, and Vincent Price was born on 27 May, but the year was 1911. Peter Cushing's birthday was the previous day, 26 May, but he was born in 1913. John Carradine doesn't fit the pattern at all. He was born on February 5 1906.

Hi roger:

I really liked the photograph but I thought it was a bit strange that they all had the same birthday. So I'm very glad that you corrected the information.

Happy Hallowe'en, katy

[Magersfontein]

It's a great photo, isn't it? A publicity still for the only film the four of them made together - Pete Walker's "House of Long Shadows". (I can't comment on the film itself as I've never seen it, but it doesn't seem to have a high reputation. Pity...)

Hallowe'en greetings to you, young lady!
