“A group of weary travellers, a spooky mansion, and a madman on the loose upstairs! Director\u00a0James Whale<\/strong>\u2019s\u00a0The Old Dark House\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is one of the best and most entertaining horror films of the 1930\u2019s. Dripping with atmosphere and packed to the brim with thrills, chills and gallows humour, it was considered lost for many years, but is now being presented from a stunning new\u00a04K restoration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Caught in a storm whilst journeying through a remote region of Wales, a group of travellers take refuge in a sinister mansion inhabited by the bizarre Femm family and their mute butler, Morgan (played by the iconic\u00a0Boris Karloff<\/strong>,\u00a0Frankenstein<\/em>,\u00a0The Mummy<\/em>). Trying to make the best of a bad situation, the group settles in for the night, but the Femm family have a few skeletons in their closet, and one of them is on the loose\u2026<\/p>\n

With an incredible cast, including\u00a0Melvyn Douglas<\/strong>\u00a0(Hud<\/em>,\u00a0Twilight\u2019s Last Gleaming<\/em>),\u00a0Gloria Stuart<\/strong>\u00a0(Titanic<\/em>) and\u00a0Charles Laughton<\/strong>\u00a0(Witness for the Prosecution<\/em>,\u00a0Ruggles of Red Gap<\/em>), The\u00a0Masters of Cinema<\/strong>\u00a0Series is proud to present\u00a0The Old Dark House<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>in a special Dual Format edition, the first time the film has been available on Blu-ray in the UK.”<\/p>\n
