Synopsis
Award winning novelist, film and television writer Richard Matheson adapted the script from his novel. This tale of the occult follows four researchers who agree to spend one week in a house known to be inhabited by dangerous and evil spirits. Typical of Matheson's unique style, The Legend of Hell House is not the usual ghost story and is yet another reason why Ray Bradbury described him as one of the most important writers of the 20th century.
