Review: Mix horror-greats Lon Chaney Jr. and John Carradine with the lovely Lansing and some good country music and you have a fun movie. Thanks to miserably poor acting by Ferlin Huskey's sidekick (Huskey is no actor either), a man in a gorilla suit and continuity errors worse than "Plan Nine from Outer Space" and the unintentional humor makes this much more fun. Watch midnight turn instantly to noon and back again. The slender and loopy haunted house/spy plot is all part of the fun. Buy this one for repeat viewings.

Review: Not much of a story line, but the talent is worth the money for the DVD. Picture quality is excellent and sound is also high quality. Much better recorded than "Road to Nashville" (Similar style movie. Dont ya just love Merle Haggard, Ferlin Husky etc.. Donna Browne

Review: Okay, I've discovered the Worst Director Ever, bar none. I've watched three of Hollywood b-movie veteran director Jean Yarbrough recently (THE BRUTE MAN, THE OVER-THE-HILL GANG, and now HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE) and this is one bad-nasty awful director. OTHG was a criminal waste of a veteran cast of character actors heading rapidly towards the sunset. BRUTE MAN was exploitation unleavened with insight or humanity. HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE is hick humor for those who find Don Knotts' movies too difficult to follow. These films are monuments to blown opportunities, stagnant and unimaginative direction, comedy that makes us groan and horror that makes us laugh.
Avoid the scenes with Basil Rathbone if at all possible. It's apparent he'd suffered a stroke prior to this movie and his distinct enunciation is noticeably slurred, making it difficult for a fan to watch. About the only highlights here are when the country music stars (Ferlin Husky and Merle Haggard, especially) strap on the guitars and sing.

Review: Unbelievably bad mismash of country corn and horror humor. Country and Western singer stop at an abandoned manison, and you can fill in the rest with out watching the movie. I like comedy and horror, but this is a bad combonation. This movie doesn't get a rating. It should be a negitive 1 star
