ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Hell House by Richard Matheson centers on a team assembled to investigate the notorious Belasco House, long rumored to be the most haunted house in the world. A physicist, a spiritualist medium, and the only survivor of a prior disastrous investigation spend a week within its walls. Their mission, funded by a skeptical and dying millionaire, is to uncover the truth about life after death. As they explore the house's dark history and confront its terrifying phenomena, their own beliefs and sanity are tested by the overwhelming evil they encounter. The story delves into the nature of psychic phenomena, the power of belief, and the terrifying manifestations of a deeply corrupted past.
