The Old Dark House

This film is far ahead of it's time. It was made in 1932, which was when Universal was at it's horror peak. The thing that makes this film so great is that James Whale (Director of Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein) decided to make somewhat of a spoof. Every scene contains laugh out loud funny jokes that won't be obvious if you are unfamiliar with horror films of the 30's. How smart is that? Not to mention, Karloff is in on the fun also. The spoof style is more along the lines of films such as "Hot Fuzz" that spoof a whole genre rather than make obvious references to films, like movies such as "Vampires Suck" do. This makes the film all the better. Perhaps not many people have seen it because it is harder to get a hold of. "Kino Video" released it on DVD in 1999, and you could find that copy on the internet. This film is groundbreaking and epic. Hopefully it will become more popular to this generation. Justice is served so have a potato.
