Bis das Blut gefriert (1963)
Düstere Legenden ranken sich um den englischen Landsitz "Hill House". Dr. John Markway Professor für Anthropologie und Parapsychologie, plant den schaurigen Geschichten auf den Grund zu gehen. Eine Gruppe von Menschen, die für übersinnliche Dinge empfänglich sind, soll mit ihm einige Nächte in dem berüchtigten Spukhaus verbringen und so herauszufinden, ob in dem Haus wirklich übernatürliche Mächte am Werk sind. Besonders die vom Leben stark gebeutelte Eleanor ist von dem düsteren Gemäuer fasziniert, aber auch bei Medium Thea und dem Sohn des verstorbenen Besitzers, Luke hinterlässt der monströse Palast bereits in der ersten Nacht einen bleibenden Eindruck...
