Where to Watch The Old Dark House
- FishersChillsJune 29, 2025A small group of people become stranded by a violent storm and take refuge in an Old Dark House, inhabited by the fruity and peculiar Femm family; in WALES of all places! 🏴 Pre Code yet heavily Queer Coded, this film was lost for eons (due to a William Castle remake in the 60s), but has seem to found a resurrection in recent years. Funny, cosy and Gothic - perfect Sunday afternoon viewing.
