Looks like an entire night of movies directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. You can see the film noir Detour later on tonight, but the lineup starts at 8 pm EST with one of my favorite horror flicks, The Black Cat, with Karloff and Lugosi and that really cool Art Deco/Bauhaus mansion.

I watched The Black Cat this evening. It is quite an entertaining piece of pre-code horror. For those who didn't watch, Ben M. explained the final scene was actually tempered at the request of the studio. And yes, the house definitely added to the creep factor. Thanks for the heads up!

I watched it for the umpteenth time: It's one of my favs. It had a wonderful soundtrack before much music was commonly used in films. Here's a list of the material used.

And here's a great performance of the 2nd movement of Robert Schumann's piano quintet, which served as Karloff's theme:
