Français : La Nuit de tous les mystères est un film d'épouvante américain de 1959 produit et réalisé par William Castle, écrit par Robb White et avec Vincent Price, Carol Ohmart, Richard Long , Alan Marshal, Carolyn Craig et Elisha Cook Jr. Price joue le rôle d'un millionnaire excentrique, Frederick Loren, qui, avec sa femme Annabelle, a invité cinq personnes à la maison pour une fête « maison hantée ». Celui qui reste une nuit dans la maison gagnera 10 000 dollars. Au fur et à mesure que la nuit avance, les invités se retrouvent piégés dans la maison avec un assortiment de terreurs.
