An 'old dark house' mystery based on the play The Cat and the Canary.
How does one write a review of this lost 'old dark house' mystery? Either the reviewer is very old and has an excellent memory (like minstrel3), or they have in their possession the only existing copy and aren't willing to share. Or maybe they're just making stuff up.
Less than two minutes of footage from The Cat Creeps is known to exist, gleaned from a compilation short from 1932 titled 'Boo'; the footage shows a mysterious figure with a hairy, clawed hand emerging from behind a secret panel to terrify Annabelle West (Helen Twelvetrees). It's impossible to ascertain the quality of an entire movie from such brief clips (although 81 people have somehow managed to rate the film on IMDb thus far), suffice to say that it looks like standard spooky old mansion shenanigans.
It's a real shame that the film remains lost -- perhaps the reviewer who gave it such a detailed appraisal will be willing to share their copy one day...
