Missed Classics #7: The Legend of Hell House (1973)

Ian and Dan are joined by a special guest returning from our Horror Express episode, writer and podcaster Tim Shaw, to discuss another favourite from Tim's childhood, and a supernatural spine-chiller that Ian's never seen before, 1973's The Legend of Hell House. 

Four psychic investigators - played by powerhouse actors Pamela Franklyn, Roddy McDowall, Clive Revill and Gayle Hunnicutt - have one week to solve the mystery of "the Mount Everest of haunted houses", but how does this overlooked thriller stand up today, and how does it compare to the 1970 Richard Matheson novel from which it's adapted? 

Listen on to hear our panel's thoughts - joined for ten minutes by Howard, phoning in his first new podcast recording for over a year, so determined was he to comment on this film.
