Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967)

No. Just No.


This is the worst film - maybe the worst ever filmed. It's horrible and I hate to say that about this film because three of great actors are in it: Rathbone, Carradine, and Chaney. I have not a clue as to why such fine actors in such a crappy movie but they are.

I'm going to make a guess here as to the reason this film was made to begin with: Hammer films was pumping out some killer horror films and The Beverly Hillbillies tv series was very popular in 1967 as well as The Grand Ole Opry on tv. So, my guess is that the film makers wanted to sort of capitalize on the popularity of both horror and the country-western/bluegrass thus creating this bloody horrible film.

Listen, I hate to bash movies but this film was so bad and unfunny that I had to keep fast-forwarding - watching a little bit then fast-forwarding again.

The ONLY reason to watch this movie is if you like some of the older country-western-hillbilly type of music. Watch it if you like Merle Haggard or Ferlin Husky - otherwise you should pass on this film.

1/10
