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".

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