The House of Seven Corpses

1974 ★ 4.3
as David

Director Eric Hartman wants authentic terror from a house already infamous for murder. When his cast begins reciting from The Tibetan Book of the Dead, the graves outside stop being scenery and the production gains an uninvited performer. A director chooses the old Beal mansion as the location for his new horror film, in spite of warnings about the house's grisly history. When the shooting begins, he directs the leading lady to read from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which inadvertently releases the spirits of the Beal family who had been trapped in the mansion since their untimely deaths years before. As the spirits re-stage their deaths, crew members start turning up dead and the survivors turn from filmmaking to solving the secrets of the mansion and getting out alive. A director is filming on location in a house where seven murders were committed. The caretaker warns them not to mess with things they do not understand (the murders were occult related), but the director wants to be as authentic as possible and has his cast re-enact rituals that took place in the house thus summoning a ghoul from the nearby cemetery to bump the whole film crew off one by one.
