THE MONSTER WALKS (1932) and DANGEROUS FEMALES (1929)

THE MONSTER WALKS starring Vera Reynolds, Rex Lease, Mischa Auer, Willie Best, Martha Mattox, Sidney Bracey and Sheldon Lewis. Directed by Frank Strayer. A very impressive cast populates this creepy "old dark house" thriller. When Philip Earlton dies, his family and servants gather in his gloomy mansion for the reading of his will. It's a violent, stormy night. A series of horrible murders is triggered when the sole heir is revealed. Who is the killer? Is he human or... something else? DANGEROUS FEMALES starring Marie Dressler and Polly Moran. Sarah Bascom and Tibby Cram share a rural, country home. Their peaceful existence is interrupted by the arrival of "The Wolf", an escaped, dangerous killer disguised as a traveling evangelist they were expecting. Or maybe he really is the evangelist? Hysterical, drunken mayhem ensues when Sarah decides to find out for sure. A simply terrific thriller/comedy from the early sound era. Produced by Al Christie.
