2.5/4
Rondo Hatton suffered from acromegaly, a degenerative disorder that enlarged and distorted his facial features. Ever so sensitive, Hollywood elected to use him as a monster in several horror yarns, including this one. Go to Full Review

Audiences loved this base crime drama, even if critics were a little queasy about so many corpses found with broken spines as the focal point of the entertainment. Go to Full Review

Valerii Ege D 09/18/2023 A painter uses his horrifying model to kill critics in the city. A perfect movie for intellectuals. After a couple of side roles, Martin Kosleck plays the maniac painter. Which he thrived. See more Steve D 06/02/2023 Decent but steals too much from better films. See more 08/23/2021 Some decent performances is pretty much the only positive thing I can say about "House of Horrors". The late Rondo Hatton does as well as he can do I suppose. The story is old and formulaic. Nothing really original. In the end, it is just another run of the mill movie that we have seen many times before. I would not bother with it. It is not worth your time. See more 04/11/2016 Rondo Hatton what a tragic actor. See more 01/25/2015 House of HorrorsĀ is a distinctly minor film, but in a bargain-basement way it toys with some interesting themes: the root causes of victimhood, the nature of power, and the price of outsourcing your dirty work to somebody else. See more 01/24/2015 Rondo Hatton's character The Creeper has his second appearance in this classic Universal Horror offering. Apparently many more were planned, unfortunately he died after The Brute Man was made. Rondo has inspired many characters, from a Scooby Doo, Stephen King and Dr. Who villains to a bad guy in Rocketeer. His shadowy frightening visage is not enough to rescue this film, but beware of saying anything against it, since The Creeper apparently exacts vengeance on critics! See more Read all reviews
