The House of Fear

(1945)Directed by Roy William Neill69 minMystery, Crime, Thriller
“HORROR stalking its halls!”

Members of the Good Comrades, a club of men who want only to be left alone, are dying one after another inside Drearcliff House, the ancestral home of their eldest member. The club's insurance agent suspects foul play and calls in Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce), who go out to the house. Roy William Neill gives them the same easy partnership as before, Watson bumbling along and Holmes already two steps ahead of him.
