Box cover is in decent shape with normal shelf wear, especially around the corners. This is the original vhs release and thus closer to the sourceprint. Cassette has a security sticker on the left endcap and a square upc sticker in the middle of the top title label assuring you of first generation quality.

Adapted by the legendary Richard Matheson from his novel 'Hell House', this unnerving combination of old-fashioned haunted house tricks with modern scientific jargon and (comparatively mild) sex and violence makes for a memorable, atmospheric experience.

Four brave souls enter the windowless Belasco house, nicknamed "Hell House" to conduct an experiment determining the existence of life after death. The lone survivor from the disastrous previous investigation, a physical medium named Ben Fisher (Roddy McDowall), reluctantly agrees to spend a few days in the house along with mental medium Florence Tanner (Pamela Franklin) and physicist Lionel Barrett (Clive Revill) and his wife, Ann (Gayle Hunnicutt).

Their first two psychic sitting sessions prove to be hostile and violent, leading Lionel to suspect that Florence may be either causing the manifestations or is being used by some force in the house - perhaps its debauched owner, Belasco, who vanished under mysterious circumstances years ago. Florence claims to receive nightly visits from Belasco's previously unknown son, who had died in the house, and the mystery gradually deepens as each day becomes more perilous to the investigator's lives.

Not the usual ghost story, and certain to curl a few hairs.
