Hello!  Here's a really great atmospheric Haunted House Classic that our viewers really love!
What Stars are in it's Cast!  Melvyn Douglas, Charles Laughton, Boris Karloff just to name a few (full cast below).  
(*Notice the very first bit of the movie in regards to Boris Karloff--it's an interesting "disclaimer" ;)  
Oh!  AND, would you all tell me if you think the opening score was possibly remembered (and tweaked) when the score for "Psycho" was created?  

I'm not going to give any hints as to the plot, or mini-synopsis(es?) for this very obvious Pre-Code (just about the first word spoken was what many of us would utter--or at least think!--if we found ourselves in the same predicament as one of the stars!).
This Psychological Thriller is beckoning, so just dive in and enjoy!  

Frankenstein director James Whale turned J.B. Priestley's novel "Benighted" into a nerve-jangling tale (originally released in 1932) that became the template for all spooky-house chillers to come.
