The Old Dark House
Starring Charles Laughton, Boris Karloff, Gloria Stuart Directed by James Whale First released 1932 WHY Because it's a) An unsung classic horror flick from Frankenstein director James Whale, b) a sly parody of horror flicks from one smart filmmaker, c) a total ''turn off the lights and shriek'' party experience. Have a potato? PEAK SHRIEK That'd probably be when the stranded-in-a-storm travelers sneak upstairs to discover the demented family patriarch (who's played by a woman -- go figure). DVD EXTRAS Two audio commentaries, one of which is by hotcha costar Gloria Stuart -- who went on to 1990s fame playing the older version of Kate Winslet in ''Titanic.''
