The House on Haunted Hill (1959)

(Unspecified, USA; contemporary)
IMDb

Millionaire businessman Vincent Price invites a small cross section of people to a party held at "the only truly haunted house in America". Price promises to pay his visitors each $10,000 if they stay a full 12 hours in the house, money which each of them desperately needs for their own reasons. Of course its not long before chandlers are dropping, missing heads a turning up, and people are mysteriously found hanging, or dropped into a pit of acid. Perfect fit for Price, but doesn't stray much from formula.
