House on Haunted Hill (1959) DVD Comparison

Image

House on Haunted Hill (1959) is a classic B-movie produced and directed by gimmick schlock master William Castle. Vincent Price stars as Frederick Loren, an eccentric millionaire who offers $10,000 to five people who agree to be locked in a large, spooky house overnight with him and his wife. The film is perhaps best known for its promotional gimmick "Emergo", which was a skeleton that would fly over audiences' heads in the theater.

Although originally released by Allied Artists, whose assets, including the masters for this film, are now owned by Warner Brothers, the film itself is in the public domain. As such, it has been released on home video by numerous companies over the decades. While I have zero interest in tracking down every single DVD release of this movie, I do have four of the (presumably) better ones in my possession, so I figured it might be helpful to do a comparison of them.
