Beautiful, moving film.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Incredible! Not necessarily in a good way either. HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN is a (perhaps for the best) forgotten movie which combines some terrible comedy with a nudie cudie-style film, of which there were hundreds being made during this period (the genre is probably best exemplified by the works of Russ Meyer, H.G. Lewis, and Harrison Marks). It's certainly a one off film on which the production levels are about the same as an average Ed Wood epic. The "plot" - if you can really call it that - concerns Granny Good and her school for special girls, which is really a front for a bootlegging operation run in the cellar. An undercover girl is sent to investigate while the police close in. That's it.Bob Cresse - a strange chap to be sure - plays the film entirely in drag as Granny Good. His character can really be seen as the logical predecessor to our own Benny Hill, and he takes great delight in delivering bad jokes and puns. The rest of the comedy seems to be taken from ancient slapstick routines, with the film being sped-up at some points. The music is incredibly cheesy and shots of a mountain-top castle are interested in order to give the film it's title.This film may have some interest for horror fans due to the inclusion of the Wolf Man, Dracula, Frankenstein and a Ghoul, or their no-budget equivalents. The latter three are just normal guys either wearing cheap makeup or masks, although the Wolf Man has "official" makeup by a guy who worked on PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE - there's a claim to fame! Events culminate in a drunken party where the cops, monsters, and girls chase each other around. It seems even members of the public, friends, and production team were dragged in. In the end, HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN simply serves as an excuse to show an endless parade of naked girls which it does at every opportunity.

OK, I admit! This movie was pretty fun to watch at times and it certainly wasn't as bad as I had feared.At first this seemed to be just another one of those sleazy '60's productions, that involved little money and little clothes for the female characters in it. And while the movie was still being a typical '60's sleazy one, it was a surprising lot of fun as well.It's a movie that is really aware of itself and what it is trying to be and do. It has no illusions about it that it's is a great movie and the cast luckily also seemed to realize this, so they simply decided to have some fun with it. Everybody was working with a smile on their face it seemed and it must have been really fun to work on this movie, even for the girls, who of course get exploited heavily in this movie.It's comedy really saves this movie and makes it a more or less watchable. Since otherwise, this movie has very little to offer. I literally had no idea what the story was all supposed to be about but it really didn't mattered at all for this movie.But even while this is only a 1 hour short movie, it still manages to feel a tat bit overlong and the movie even starts to drag toward its end, when all the gloves are off and the movie decides to go completely crazy. It starts to repeat itself at that point and the movie even becomes too silly for its own good.However, as far as these type of cheap and simplistic genre movies go, this is definitely one of the more fun ones I have ever seen!5/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

This is one of the oddest movies I've ever seen. Bob Cress is perfect in the role of the rotten old bat, who keeps a werewolf (yes, a werewolf) enslaved in her basement still. The (naked) girls of Granny Good's prep school sure do know how to throw a party! The punchline at the very end of the movie is absolutely hilarious.

The hilarious Bob ("Love Camp 7", "Erotic Adventures Of Zorro" etc.) Cresse in drag as Granny Good is the saving grace of this VERY infantile tale of a girl school threaten by undercover cops and monsters. The girls are, of course, in the nude for like 90% of the movie and that's okay by me cuz there's some major poontang. The tall wolfman's make up is done by Harry Thomas who worked on Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space"! If your girlfriend is a hardcore feminist, watch it with your buddies over a case of brew - you'll burst with laughter!
