Here are two more really creaky old films, The Panther's Claw and The Crooked Circle. Panther's Claw is also a comedy and not a very good one at that, but it's got some nuttly old timey stuff in it if you like that. ( I do!)

Crooked Circle isn't half bad. A group of amateur detectives , that call thelmselves the Sphinx Club,sets out to expose The Crooked Circle, a secretive group of hooded occultists. It's serious in tone and features a haunted house, secret passages, a screaming maid etc. Although with Zazu Pitts as the maid, and James Gleason as a hard-boiled beat cop,  there is a touch of comedy.

I was quoting you from yesterday - you had the year, but left the title out.   :smile:

I'm just repeating others here but The Innocents and Carnival of Souls are fantastic. They're both personal favourites of mine.


Turn off the lights and settle down for a spooky night in if you watch those two late on an evening...
                                             

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.
