Hell House Audiobook

" Wonderful spooky book that I have read more then once now. The haunting from Balasco gave me a few chills up my spine. "

" A lot of twisted stuff without even the decency of a good plot twist to make it worth it. I've greatly enjoyed Matheson's other work, but this is one I kind of wish I had passed over. "

" **CONTAINS SPOILERS** I thought there was going to be a lot more scary stuff in it and seeing that its a haunted house i would think that once yer in the house, the ghosts aint gonna let you leave alive. characters came and went freely. "

" A dying millionaire who wants to know if there is life after death pays $100,000.00 each to Dr. Barrett the Physicist, Florence Tanner the mental medium and Ben Fischer the psychic medium to go into the legendary Hell House and prove or disprove the theory of life after death. The problem is the home has been witness to unimaginable horrors and those that have entered before have not lived to tell about it, except for one, the medium Fischer, and he's remained psychically closed off for years and isn't sure he can be of much service. The book leaves you on the edge of your seat throughout each chapter as it explores the evil entity living within the walls. It scared the tarp out of me but I couldn't put it down. "

" This story was originally published in 1971 and is very well written. A good, solid haunted-house story that is very reminiscent of the original "The Haunting" movie from 1963. Many will be satisfied by the ending.. I was only partially so (I won't say why, I don't like spoilers), but it left a couple unanswered/unaddressed questions that I wish writers in the haunted-house genre would address. Otherwise, a very good, scary, no-holds-barred ghost story. "

" This was an average read. Predictable story with cookie cutter characters and an unsatisfying ending. "

" Matheson has a creative way of bringing science and the supernatural together. No one wins in this scary haunt of electromagnetic setting. "

" Damn good freaky read. "

" One of the greatest haunted house novels ever written. Richard Matheson rules! "

" Matheson does a fine job of creating heaps of terrifying moments in this novel, but I had a few small issues with pacing and the writing in general. A fast and enjoyable horror read, though not in quite the same leage as I Am Legend. "

" An entertaining haunted house story; a quick read, creepy and graphic, with some imagery that definitely stays with you. Not as good as Matheson's outstanding 'I am Legend,' but worth a read, though 'The Shining' is still the king (pun intended) of this genre. "

" I read this book a long time ago - this time was on audio. I think this is one of the few cases I've come across where the movie was better, maybe because it was made long enough ago that they had to clean up a lot of the graphic parts. "

" I really enjoyed "Hell House" by Richard Matheson. Once I started reading, I could not put it down. Even for a book written in the 1970s, the plot transcends time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even the final twist paid off, although I wish there would have been more information. "

" Everything that I've read by Richard Matheson is fantastic, but this one is perhaps the most intense story. I love me a good haunted house story, and Hell House is the best I've ever read. "

" Very disappointing after the brilliance of I Am Legend. An ending that was horribly anticlimactic, and not a little confusing. "

" Not as scary as I thought... There are much better horror books out there "

" so far so good, not as scary as i thought it would be but definitely scary for the time that it was written in. "

" Timeless classic haunted-house tale. Very eerie and engaging. "

" This was an average read. Predictable story with cookie cutter characters and an unsatisfying ending. "

" The book practically every haunted house movie is based on, this is a must read. "

" I read half, which is more than fair. Not scary and the writing wasn't for me. It's rare for me to quit without finishing a novel. "

" The Haunting of Hill House's stupid younger cousin, who spends most of his time pulling the wings off flies and obsessing over what it might be like to touch a girl. "

" Loved it loved it loved - couldn't put it down until the end! "

" Great ghost story. I read many horror novels and this one actually scared me. It was one of those books which I did not want to end. "

" This was an excellent "old school" haunted house book. "

" I love Richard Matheson! How did I miss this book? Thank you, Mattyallen. I shall return the favor when I have something in my nook that you may be interested in reading. :) "

" One of my all time favorite books :) "
