1999’s House on Haunted Hill, a remake of the 1959 movie of the same name starring Vincent Price and directed by William Castle, is not exactly considered a good movie. It sits at 28% on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. But in this particular case none of that matters as I, along with many others, love it.

A while back I decided I needed to add it to my Blu-ray collection, and was rather surprised to discover it was not available for some reason—at least not here in the States. This surprise turned to confused shock when I found out that while the remake was not on Blu-ray yet, its 2007 sequel Return to House on Haunted Hill somehow was. You’d think they’d at least bundle the two together, but nope.

Now comes word that the 1999 House on Haunted Hill is finally making its way to Blu-ray thanks to Scream Factory later this year. You can find more information below.

SYNOPSIS:

One night in the house, one million bucks, no questions asked. But there is a catch for anyone who accepts the offer. Murder is a way of life at the House on Haunted Hill, a jolting, effects-ramped remake of the 1959 cult classic that starred Vincent Price and was directed by screen horror legend William Castle. Geoffrey Rush plays twisted theme park bigshot Stephen Price, who’s hosting a scary/jokey birthday bash for his wife (Famke Janssen) at an abandoned institute for the criminally insane. Taye Diggs, Ali Larter, Bridgette Wilson, Peter Gallagher and Chris Kattan portray strangers mysteriously assembled for the event that could make them all very rich. Or profoundly dead. And you? We wouldn’t start the party without you.
