In "The House of Mystery," an archeologist is cursed after stealing treasure from a temple. Twenty years after he goes home, he invites the investors he shrifted over to his old, dark house for shenanigans and murder. This movie, like many in the genre, is offense, because it trivializes Hinduism in several different ways. Plus, it trivializes disability and involves animal abuse. Other than that, it hits all the notes for your basic haunted house movie, including a seance which makes no sense at all. Amber and Mike sum up the plot of this movie and Mike shares the original character he created based on this movie that you can download for use in tabletop role playing games.Editor's Note: The movie Saltburn is mentioned in a general way at 1:05:00.

"House of Danger" is not really a mystery -- the audience is in on the "mystery" almost from the beginning. Instead, it's more of a romance/thriller, where the main characters work out how to disengage from the mess they put themselves in. It's an uneven film, with a few nice moments sprinkled in, and an ending that we guessed at, but couldn't quite believe actually happened. Stay to the end to hear about the character Mike created while inspired by this movie for use in tabletop role playing games.Title: House of DangerAlternate Title: The Great GambleDirector: Charles HutchisonB/W or Color: B/WIMDB Rating: 5.2/10Content warnings: Suicide, kidnapping, car crash, impersonating someoneHilarious tagline: “A MYSTERY STORY OF THRILLS AND ROMANCE!"5th Edition Character: Gordon, a villainous manservantLearn more at World of Welstar:Twitter: @WorldofWelstarInstagram: @world_of_welstarFacebook: @worldofwelstarPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/talienWatch this movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BVZ0-5F_7ZkBuy the 50 movie set: https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGnThese show notes contain affiliate links.

"The Savage Girl," starting with its title and continuing on to its conclusion, is a loathsome male power fantasy passing as a jungle adventure. A rich man with an alcohol dependency talks a big game trapper into traveling with him to Africa. While there, they cross paths with a White woman living alone in the jungle, and the men of the expedition fight over who can possess her. Amber and Mike go through this stinker but in the end, find nothing redeeming in it. However, Mike creates a brilliant and glorious non-player character from the ashes, which is free for use in tabletop role playing games.About The Movie Title: The Savage GirlYear: 1932B/W or Color: B/WDirector: Harry FrasherIMDB Rating: 4.4 out of 10Hilarious tagline: A wild goddess rules the jungle!Length: 1 hour and 6 minutesContent warnings: Racism, misogyny, attempted rape, violence5th Edition Character: The Goddess, an elven druidLearn more at World of Welstar:Twitter: @WorldofWelstarInstagram: @world_of_welstarFacebook: @worldofwelstarPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/talienWatch this movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xa-WZsRC1YUBuy the 50 movie set: https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGnThese show notes contain affiliate links.

A wealthy and prominent theater owner is murdered and his family and employees are all suspects. Tony, the Broadway theater critic, reluctantly takes on the investigation to find the killer.

In "Wanted: Babysitter," the young son of a wealthy man and his babysitter are held hostage by a disparate group. The plan goes awry and results in a series of events that puts everyone at risk. This thriller from 1975 starts out strong and has a few twists and turns but is ultimately difficult to follow due to the poor quality and number of characters who behave in ways that often don't make sense.

A wealthy man is murdered at a costume party, and all his houseguests and family are suspects. As the story unfolds, we learn that the murdered man has a difficult history with his family, his finances were not as expected, and that his granddaughter was a disappointment to him. A snarky novelist works with the police to solve the crime, but not before becoming a target for the murder himself. This difficult to follow mystery has some unique moments, but overall Mike and Amber found "Green Eyes" to be a challenging film to understand and discuss.

"Ghosts on the Loose" is a comedy/old, dark house movie from 1943. It starred a comedy group called "The East Side Kids," which was a rotating cast of young men who starred in many movies of the time. Amber and Mike take you through the plot, which includes the bust of a ring of propagandists and an ending that didn't need to be there which needs some explanation, because it includes a potentially upsetting symbol from World War II that we don't use casually today.Title: Ghosts on the LooseDirector: William BeaudineIMDB Rating: 5.0 out of 10Rating: Not RatedContent warnings: Overlooked female characters, war symbolism, trivialization of illnessHilarious tagline: "You'll yell with glee when these happy-go-lucky hooligans invade the shivery domain of the Man of a Thousand Horrors!

"The Ghost and the Guest" from 1943 is a poverty row comedy that also includes elements of the mystery and old, dark house genres. The one-liner humor holds up in some cases, and it did have Mike and Amber laughing. However, this movie also contains a disturbing thread of execution by hanging. It's played for laughs in the movie, but it exposes how pervasive and dangerous racism was used as a comedic trope. This makes a commentary on this movie nuanced but important in being aware of how racism was coded in early movies.Title: The Ghost and the GuestDirector: William NighIMDB Rating: 4.5 out of 10Rating: Not ratedContent warnings: Racism, misogyny, murder, execution, and a discussion of lynching, which doesn't occur in the movie, but which we address in the commentaryHilarious tagline: “A newlywed couple winds up spending their honeymoon night in an old, dark, spooky mansion."5th Edition Character: Honeyboy, an undead in search of his jewels, and his gang of jewel thievesLearn more at World of Welstar:Twitter: @WorldofWelstarInstagram: @world_of_welstarFacebook: @worldofwelstarPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/talienWatch this movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/650pQTwqrhMBuy the 50 movie set: https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGnReference Material:History of Lynching in America: https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/history-lynching-americaAs American as the Blues: Lynching in Film and TV: https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/as-american-as-the-blues-lynching-in-film-and-tv/These show notes contain affiliate links.

Another Tod Slaughter vehicle, "The Face at the Window," shows us 1880 France, where a serial killer is stalking Paris. After a bank is robbed and a clerk is killed, presumably by the murder known as "The Face," a wealthy benefactor seeks to exploit the banker and his daughter to get what he wants. The true identity of the killer is finally revealed only with the use of an elaborate ruse. Mike and Amber take on this film which makes some unnecessary turns, but finally lands with a sensational conclusion.Title: The Face at the WindowDirector: George KingIMDB Rating: 5.9 out of 10Rating: NRContent warnings: Abuse, kidnapping, mental illness and ableism, violence, assault, murder, misogyny5th Edition Character: Le Loup, a werewolf mastermind and his half-ogre brotherLearn more at World of Welstar:Twitter: @WorldofWelstarInstagram: @world_of_welstarFacebook: @worldofwelstarPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/talienWatch this movie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EqLr9smtucBuy the 50 movie set: https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGnThese show notes contain affiliate links.

"Drums of Africa (Jungle Man)" is a jungle adventure that suffers from a lack of a plot as well as an insidious white savior complex. This Buster Crabbe vehicle follows a family who travels from the United States to Africa in order to search for a lost city and also visit an uncle who happens to be a missionary. While there, they also find Dr Hammond, who was working on a treatment for an infectious disease that's in danger of becoming an epidemic. An outbreak of the condition, encounters with wild animals, and a sunken ship all come into play as the newcomers try to find the lost city and Dr Hammond tries to save lives. Mike and Amber go through the huge problems with this film, including how it treats the entire continent of Africa and its lack of a plot.Title: Drums of Africa (Jungle Man)Director: Harry L.

"The Crooked Circle" from 1932 is an 'old dark house' mystery/comedy that pits an amateur detective group against a crime syndicate. The Crooked Circle gang has marked a member of The Sphinx Club for death. But they first have to find him at his country house on Long Island, which is supposedly haunted by the violin playing ghost of a jilted lover.

Lon Chaney, Jr is once again the headliner for this post-Hayes code crime drama, "The Shadow of Silk Lennox.” This movie follows a crime boss, Silk, who decides to rob a bank with the help of his gang. He has been running his criminal enterprise mostly unopposed by the local police. But this time, federal agents show up on the scene and he is out of his depth. This movie has some interesting moments, but Mike and Amber both nitpicked on some things that they really hated about it.Title: The Shadow of Silk LennoxDirector: Ray Kirkwood and Jack NelsonIMDB Rating: 4.2/10Rating: NRContent warnings: Assault, murder, violence, racism, kidnapping, misogyny, threats against womenHilarious tagline: “A crooked nightclub owner, pretending to go straight, is forced to kill a henchman when the latter tries to run off with the gang's latest haul."5th Edition Character: Silk, a wizard and master illusionistLearn more at World of Welstar:Twitter: @WorldofWelstarInstagram: @world_of_welstarFacebook: @worldofwelstarPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/talienWatch this movie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gCSrO3pngYBuy the 50 movie set: https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGnThese show notes contain affiliate links.

"A Scream in the Night” from 1935 is a Lon Chaney, Jr vehicle that is deeply problematic when viewed today. On the face of it, it’s a crime drama set somewhere in the Middle East. However, as typical for the time, it manages to include a whole lot of things that aren’t necessary to tell the story of a jewel thief and the detectives looking to stop him. Mike and Amber dig into the highly questionable parts of this film while putting it into historical context and looking for something good in the narrative. Title: A Scream in the NightDirector: Fred C.
