House on Haunted Hill

:05:41

October 11 1931, Los Angeles.

:05:45

A conflagration of biblical proportions
incinerates nearly everyone...

:05:50

...in what was once LA's
most celebrated medical facility:

:05:54

The Vannacutt Psychiatric Institute
For the Criminally Insane.

:05:58

But the secret this inferno burned free
was far more frightening...

:06:01

...than any picture
Hollywood could produce.

:06:04

A sanitarium of slaughter...

:06:06

...supervised by a surgeon gone mad:

:06:09

Richard Benjamin Vannacutt.

:06:13

Doctor Richard Benjamin Vannacutt.

:06:16

Little known today...

:06:18

...but likely the most prolific
mass murderer of this century.

:06:22

He out-butchered Bundy.

:06:23

He made Manson look meek.

:06:25

And the site ofhis carnage
still exists today...

:06:28

...restored almost to its original state.

:06:31

But it has yet to be inhabited1
because some say...

:06:35

...the spirits of Vannacutt and his victims...

:06:37

...still live within the walls
of the House on Haunted Hill.

:06:44

No shit.

:06:44

We'll be back with more
Terrifying But True in a moment.

:06:48

No need, baby.

:06:51

You just gave me everything I needed.
