House of Mystery is a 1961 British horror film. It was based on a play that director Vernon Sewell had filmed three times before. It was known in Germany as Das Landhaus des Dr. Lemming ("The Country House of Dr. Lemming"), and because of its compact running time, was shown in the U.S. as an episode of the TV series "Kraft Mystery Theatre".

A pair of newlyweds visit an old cottage for sale in the countryside, and listen to the housekeeper’s retelling of its macabre history. The previous owners had been menaced by paranormal activity, and when they called in a medium, discovered the apparition they’d seen was of an eccentric and vengeful scientist who once lived in the cottage. The scientist was obsessed with electricity, and when his unfaithful wife and lover unsuccessfully tried to murder him, he responded by electrifying the living room floor and fixtures and challenging the couple to escape.
