A CRREPY film!!!!, 31 March 2003
10/10
Author: norm.vogel@verizon.net from S. Bound Brook, NJ.



A wealthy invalid (who has no arms or legs) invites the 3 doctors who attended him to his eerie, fog-shrouded mansion, where they are strangled, one by one....."and on their faces was a look of unspeakable horror"!

I'm a mystery-film buff, and i can say without a shadow of a doubt that THIS films is my All-Time Fave "spooky mystery"......the music, Lugosi, shadows on the walls, a skeleton materialising in the library, the eerie swamp, etc make it EXTREMELY atmospheric and "nightmarish"!

(In case you're wondering, my 2nd fav "Old House" film is "Dr. X").

I remember watching this film on Sat. nites in the 60's, and having a hard time going to sleep afterward. And, it's STILL creepy, after all these years!

"I can see "it" on foggy nights, keeping to the shadows...and even the frogs stopped croaking as it passed thru....."
