The Old Dark House (DVD)
Directed by James Whale
Charles Laughton
Eva Moore
Gloria Stuart
Melvyn Douglas
Newly Restored from the original negative held at the Library of Congress! FRANKENSTEIN director Whale turned J.B. Priestley’s novel "Benighted" into a nerve-jangling tale that became the template for all spooky-house chillers to come. Stranded travelers stumble upon a strange old house, and find themselves at the mercy of a highly eccentric and potentially dangerous family. This atmospheric thriller features an unforgettable post-Frankenstein horror role for Boris Karloff, as the hulking, disfigured butler Morgan. Also starring in early-career roles are Melvin Douglas, Charles Laughton, Raymond Massey and Gloria Stuart of TITANIC.
DVD Extras Include:
New 4K Restoration | Audio Commentary by Actor Gloria Stuart | Audio Commentary by James Whale Biographer James Curtis | Daughter of Frankenstein: A Conversation with Sara Karloff (1080p; 14:45) | Curtis Harrington Saves The Old Dark House (480i; 7:08) | Trailers
