Renewed for a third season, this one will be about witches. Kathy Bates will be added to the cast, so you know it will deliver!

The original movie, “House On Haunted Hill”, directed by William Castle in 1959, is still one of my favorites! My older brother told me about this movie when I was around 5 years old. I didn’t get to see it until I was around 13, however. Parts of it still give me chills all these years later.
