The Italian-Spanish co-production MURDER MANSION (1972). Three people take refuge in a spooky house. There are rumours of vampires and witches. But is this a gothic horror movie or a giallo? It doesn't matter. It's crazy oddball and fun and looks good.

I have a case of The Mondays (don't you?) and need to lift my spirits with a stodgy Old Dark House movie at the day's close. I've decided: it's gonna be THE BAT WHISPERS (1930), Roland West's sound remake of his earlier THE BAT (1926), both based on the Mary Roberts Rihehart source novel. Chester Morris and Una Merkel have fun, and as with the earlier adaptation, there's plenty of proto-Batman imagery to admire. #1930s #Movies #OldDarkHouse #OldMovies

Episode 7: The Cat and the Canary
The Haunted Spouses pounce on the 1927 silent film adaptation of THE CAT AND THE CANARY, discussing its place in the "old dark house" genre, as well as how that genre gives rise to the tropes seen in haunted house stories. They also discuss heeled slippers, potential influences on Scooby Doo, and Laura La Plante's fantastic eyebrow acting.
