The Cat and the Canary Movie Review 1927

A group of greedy relatives gather on a stormy night in a creepy mansion for the reading of a 20-year-old will. But before anyone can claim the money, they must spend the night in the manor--and an escaped lunatic is at large! Remade twice, once in 1939 and again in 1979.
