The Old Dark House 1932 DVD - Boris Karloff / Melvyn Douglas

In a remote region of Wales, several travelers seek shelter from a pounding rainstorm and are admitted to a gloomy, foreboding mansion owned by the extremely strange Femm family. As they try to make the best of their situation, the guests encounter their sepulchral host, Horace Femm, and his obsessive, malevolent sister Rebecca. The situation escalates when the brutish manservant Morgan becomes drunk, runs amok, and releases the long pent-up brother Saul, a psychotic pyromaniac who gleefully tries to destroy the residence by setting it on fire.
