Crestwood House Season 3 continues as we head into the middle of this year’s offerings with a series looking at the “old dark house” trope. On this episode Paxton takes us through a tour of the quintessential film in this subgenre aptly titled The Old Dark House from Universal Pictures, directed by Frankenstein’s James Whale and starring Boris Karloff. This was the film that apparently broke up their friendship!
Join us as we discuss old dark houses, amazing set design for the 30s, Karloff, and the strengths and weaknesses of Universal horror without their stable of monsters!
