The Old Dark House

1932

James Whale

Haunted House , Black & White, Not Scary

This is the first ever haunted house flick that originated the genre, and this is where all of the classic haunted house film tropes come from that you will see repeated again and again.
Good pace for modern audience, the director loves suspense.
Boris Karloff is in so many films from this era, he is a mainstay like Patrick Wilson, but it is also a bit annoying seeing him again and again.
No music, just wind & rain.
Turn the volume all the way up and have an eargasm.
Features Boris Karloff, Charles Laughton, Gloria Stuart, Ernest Thesiger, Eva Moore, Lilian Bond, and Melvyn Douglas.
