The Cat and the Canary
“The mystery thriller of the stage filmed with new effects!”
ComedyHorrorMystery
A group of potential heirs gather in a forbidding old house to learn which of them will inherit a fortune. Later, they learn that a flesh-rending maniac is loose.
VIBE
A creaky mansion, a mysterious will, and a cast of greedy relatives create a deliciously spooky and campy atmosphere. This silent classic is a masterclass in suspense, with expressionistic visuals heightening the gothic thrills.
