unusual facts about The Old Dark House


Raymond Rohauer

Alternatively he exploited instances where living writers no longer held the rights to his work, an example being the J.B. Priestley novel Benighted, which was the basis for The Old Dark House (1932); James Whale's horror film for Universal (which had been thought lost for some years) thus passed to Rohauer.


Arthur Edeson
