Cool The House On Haunted Hill Question

Last week I watched The House On Haunted Hill, and the other night we were disguising it but we had different opinions on who the ghost was who helped them at the end I thought it was the guy who originally wanted to get out but was locked in.
Was it him?

Yep, your right.
Character Watson Pritchett played by actor Chris Kattan.

Cool

Thanks Thor

Did you also notice after the credits they showed Price and is wife as the Doctor and the Nurse, at the beginning who were cut open by the mental patients, I had it on tape and re watched it and it was not them. (I went over the film so I could not find out about the Ghost).

PS I preferred the original film.

I preferred this new version myself. I love the eerie sound effects and like Geoffrey Rush in it. I've got the DVD of it. There's a good soundtrack to it too.

Cool

I thought the plot was all over the show, especially if you saw the original. Up to the very end I thought it was one big wind up by one of the Prices, like he was doing with Spice at the beginning.
Mind you I had just finished watching The Haunting before I watched it so I could have been getting a bit fed up of ghost.
Do you think Geoffrey Rush’s voice was just like James Wood in it?

Sound's very similar, I must agree. I've just got Mystery Men on DVD with Geoffrey Rush in it too and he deliberately ham's his character as do the other actors in it. He's one of my favourite actors at the present.

You were? How? Did you paint it green and stick it in the bushes!

Too big for that, painted it blue and dragged it out to sea.
