As one of legendary director James Whale\u2019s four captivating horror movies, The Old Dark House<\/em> has a very special place in the hearts of monster film fans. Based on J B Priestley\u2019s novel Benighted, it told of a group of mismatched travellers thrown together in a remote country house by a fierce storm, but facing something much worse within the walls of the old Femm residence\u2026<\/p>\n

Shaping Universal\u2019s golden age of horror, The Old Dark House<\/em> was a watershed moment in the genre; it\u2019s packed with memorable images from the billowing storm-lashed curtains in the corridor to the shadow-haunted dining room and the claustrophobic nightmare of the upper staircase. Our renowned image reproduction work ensures that as you explore our Old Dark House<\/em>\u00a0signed movie guide, you\u2019ll experience every detail, every moment of tension, and every howl of that incessant wind outside. Full colour printing means that even black and white images enjoy a richness that fires the imagination and awakens memories of this beloved classic.<\/p>\n

The oppressive sense of dread – what\u2019s upstairs? Why are Horace and Rebecca so frightened of that mysterious locked door? – is one of the hallmarks of the film\u2019s power; our signed Ultimate Guide magazine to The Old Dark House<\/em> explores the reasons why it still has such impact today. Insightful articles bring the tale to life in accessible and vivacious style, giving you a unique view on how Priestley\u2019s novel came from the page to the screen and how the combination of skilled personalities brought moviegoers a cinema experience like nothing else.<\/p>\n

Celebrating the enduring power and majesty of this golden age classic, this signed\u00a0Old Dark House<\/em> magazine is packed with stills, lobbies and artwork that plunge you into the dysfunctional world of the Femms and their rain-soaked house guests. Biographies introduce you to the cast and crew, showing how each played their part in creating a motion picture that has lost none of its power. You\u2019ll discover their lives and careers, gaining a new appreciation for their diverse bodies of work and possibly encountering a few surprises along the way.<\/p>\n

Part mystery, part black comedy of manners, part terrifying horror thriller, The Old Dark House<\/em> has no equal. There really is nothing like this movie, and our atmospheric signed magazine guide to The Old Dark House<\/em> captures the sense of isolation and vulnerability – tempered with director Whale\u2019s deliciously dark humour – that makes it such a favourite.<\/p>\n

The wind is howling, the rain is lashing down, and nobody\u2019s going anywhere on that washed-away road. It\u2019s time to stop making shadow pictures, have a potato, and immerse yourself in our magnificent signed Ultimate Guide to The Old Dark House<\/em> – the perfect tribute to a milestone in horror cinema.<\/p>\n
