I am trying to pinpoint the origins of how this movie was made. What haunted house film had come before that could provide “inspiration” to get this film produced? I have guessed “The Omen” (haunted in a different way) or maybe even “The Legend of Hell House” but I am not sure.

“House of Evil” is a mismatch of ghostly manifestations taking place in an abandoned mansion which has been recently purchased by a scientist as the site of a new research facility. A team of fellow scientists and assorted specialists join the professor in his new digs and then ultimately get offed in new and different ways through the course of this whackfest of a film.

The final moments of the movie are truly bizarre and, frankly, farfetched. A good way to pass a dark and stormy Fall night.
