The House in Nightmare Park (U.S. titles: Crazy House and The House of the Laughing Dead) is a 1973 British comedy horror film directed by Peter Sykes and starring Frankie Howerd, Ray Milland and Hugh Burden.[1] It was one of a number of British comedy films which parodied the successful British horror genre, closely associated with the Hammer Horror films.[2] Its plot follows that of a traditional "Old Dark House" story.

A struggling actor is hired to perform a dramatic reading at a country house. The people who hired him have ulterior motives.
