What happens

House of Evil (Spanish: Serenata macabra, lit. 'Macabre Serenade', also released as Dance of Death) is a 1972 Mexican horror film directed by Luis Enrique Vergara and Jack Hill, and starring Boris Karloff, Julissa, Andrés García and José Ángel Espinoza. This was the first in a cycle of four films Karloff made in a package deal with Mexican producer Luis Enrique Vergara. The others are Isle of the Snake People, The Incredible Invasion, and Fear Chamber. Karloff's scenes for all four films were directed by Hill in Los Angeles in the spring of 1968, while the rest of the films were completed in Mexico without either's involvement. House of Evil was released theatrically in 1972, three years after Karloff's death. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
