[edit] Story and plot

The 'Story' and 'Plot' section should be merged and do we really need a detailed guide to the character's deaths?

• How each person died would be rather helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.142.87.159 (talk) 00:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't that go in the plot section? "Joe Bob Dorkbrain dies in the attic, when he tries to french kiss a zombie. Nobody notices his death until five hours later, then they laugh." Okay, humourous example but I hope I'm clear. Lots42 00:09, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[some guy on the internet] I don't know the proper procedure for correcting things on wikipedia but I will say the plot summary is way off. For example the security guard "that setup harmless traps" is never seen setting off or setting up any traps but just sitting in a little room watching security cameras. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.56.105.180 (talk) 03:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:House on haunted hill.jpg

Image:House on haunted hill.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

As of now I can only think of one such trivia, the fact that the lead male's character's last name is Price, which is the same last name of Vincent Price, the original leading male. C. Pineda 01:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I got the impression that Geoffrey Rush was trying to look like Vincent rice, too.

[edit] Article

The plot section is too long. We need something about critical reception and box office. -- Beardo (talk) 00:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
