Featuring intro and book signing by Joe Jordan, author of The Films of William Castle

Eccentric millionaire Fredrick Loren and his fourth wife, Annabelle, have invited five people to their house on Haunted Hill for a “haunted house” party. Whoever will stay in the house for one night will earn $10,000. As the night progresses, all the guests are trapped inside the house with ghosts, murderers and other terrors.

Joe Jordan is a film historian who has been writing about motion pictures for several years.  Aside from being the author of Showmanship: The Cinema of William Castle, he has taught film appreciation courses to young adults.  Joe lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, Jennifer, and two children, Jocelyn and Justin.
