The Old Dark House

Waiting has ended.
I saw this movie when it came out and loved it. I waited a long time to get this into my collection and it was worth it. Too bad more films from the 40's, 50's and 60's could be found in transcribed to DVD.

What a grat movie! (Spoilers)
I had been looking for this film for years, at first not even knowing the name of the movie. My sister and I had seen it long, long ago and remembered the spooky old house with people being killed off one by one. And mostly we remembered the woman who is constantly knitting and is found with her knitting needles sticking out of her neck and a seriously goofy look on her face. This is a funny, funny movie. After receiving it from Amazon I had my sister over for dinner and afterwards we watched the movie and were laughing so hard we had to back it up sometimes to catch what we had missed. What a hoot.

Murder! More Murders! Mysterious Old House! Turn Down the Lights!
This chilling comedy chronicles the spooky exploits of a Yankee car salesman working in London who sets out to deliver a car to a remote and very creepy Welsh estate. Unfortunately he discovers the owner dead. While attempting to leave a fierce storm erupts and he has a wreck. He returns to the mansion to seek shelter from the disparate sisters therein. Once warm and dry, he meets the rest of their strange family, including twins, a looney who is building an ark, and the matriarch of the household. The storm rages on and as the grim night slowly passes, family members are bumped off at appallingly regular intervals leaving the American to solve the crimes.
