I do so love a good mystery! This month, I am going to be celebrating a very specific sub-genre, plus some added gems of atmospheric murder. The Old Dark House movie has fallen out of favor but I still love it.
The ingredients:
1 old mansion
6-12 suspicious characters
1 or more murders
Add some stylish direction, some gallows humor and then let ‘er rip! Good stuff.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy beating the dog days of summer with a few cold and foggy evenings of terror and/or laughs. Look for more reviews to be posted throughout the month but in the meantime, please enjoy some of my past reviews.
