The House That Screamed

The House That Screamed is a 1969 Spanish horror film. This English title is a sensationalized one, and the original title La Residencia is best translated The Residence. Some countries translated it The Boarding School. It is a story of bullying and worse at a 19th century girls' finishing school. Lilli Palmer stars. I watched it with Elvira's occasional comments interspersed at Tubi TV. This one is lacking in gore but has nicely mounting building tension.

watch it without the comic interludes here:



AV Club says it "fits nicely into the haunted-house genre".

    Th title reminds me of Lizzie Borden's house. I thought the house looked like it was screaming https://cjkennedyink.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-borden-house.html

      Wow! You're right. I wonder if that was deliberate.

    Not sure I'd have time for this one, but at least I know where to find it if I change my mind.

    I guess I'll have to watch it to see what it said when it screamed.
