The Old Dark House - 1932 - 6/10
No matter how atrocious the weather, one never goes knocking at the gloomy manor.

Plus – the rain truly is dreadful, and the car is leaking.
Do they recognize the door opening butler as Boris Karloff?
The travelers arrive, dry themselves, try to ignore how fearfully eccentric the inhabitants are.
For a creaky, locked-room film, this moves quickly and many images are downright eerie.
