The Old Dark House, the reading of the will at midnight, the secret panels, the hidden rooms, the murderous criminal…. All the clichés that are as familiar as your own hand appear in this subgenre of the crime film.

We are talking Old Dark House mysteries covering James Whale’s iconic Old Dark House (1932), The Cat And The Canary, J B Priestley, Laurel And Hardy, Harold Lloyd and many more.
