Not exactly a horror film, at least by any strict definition. But it is a great deal of fun.

Reviews for The Cat and the Canary
Stylishly well-executed old-fashioned horror-suspense thriller that's laced with a macabre humor.
Transposing the expressionist panache of Weimar cinema, Leni responded with one of the most influential classics of the Hollywood horror genre.
