The House of Seven Corpses (1973)
When director Eric Hartman (John Ireland) sets out to make a film about a sprawling mansion that’s been home to gruesome real-life horrors, he decides the perfect setting will be… the cursed dwelling itself. Immediate red flag! Cue ill-advised readings from the Book of the Dead, zombies, and other occult shenanigans, as chaos overtakes the cast and crew in rapid succession. Unlike some of the other entries on this list, The House of Seven Corpses actually takes itself seriously, though its brand of gothic horror doesn’t really translate into any genuine frights.
