TCM PRIMETIME - WHAT'S ON TONIGHT: CREEPY OLD MANSIONS Friday June 8, 2012 8:00 PM 84 min TV-14 suspense Spiral Staircase, The (1945) A serial killer stalks a mute servant girl in a remote mansion. Dir: Robert Siodmak Cast: Dorothy McGuire , George Brent , Ethel Barrymore . D: Robert Siodmak. Dorothy McGuire, George Brent, Ethel Barrymore, Kent Smith, Rhonda Fleming, Gordon Oliver, Elsa Lanchester, Rhys Williams, Sara Allgood. Superb Hitchcock-like thriller with unforgettable performance by McGuire as mute servant in eerie household which may be harboring a killer. Well scripted by Mel Dinelli, adapting Ethel Lina White's novel Some Must Watch. Remade in 1975. 9:30 PM 99 min TV-PG horror Innocents, The (1961) A governess convinces herself the children in her charge are haunted. Dir: Jack Clayton Cast: Deborah Kerr , Peter Wyngarde , Megs Jenkins . 11:15 PM 65 min TV-PG horror Black Cat, The (1934) A Satanist faces off with the vengeful man whose wife and daughter he has stolen. Dir: Edgar G. Ulmer Cast: Karloff , Bela Lugosi , David Manners . D: Edgar Ulmer. Karloff (Boris Karloff), Bela Lugosi, David Manners, Jacqueline Wells (Julie Bishop), Lucille Lund, Henry Armetta, Harry Cording. Polished horror film with bizarre sets, even more bizarre plot. Confrontation of architect/devil-worshiper Karloff and doctor Lugosi is still fascinating. The first of Boris and Bela's many teamings. Look fast for John Carradine as an organist at Satanic Mass. Film bears absolutely no resemblance to eponymous Edgar Allan Poe tale. Saturday June 9, 2012   12:30 AM 84 min TV-PG suspense Gaslight (1940) A turn-of-the-century bride moves into the house where her aunt was murdered and begins to fear she's going mad. Dir: Thorold Dickinson Cast: Anton Walbrook , Diana Wynyard , Frank Pettingell . D: Thorold Dickinson. Anton Walbrook, Diana Wynyard, Frank Pettingell, Cathleen Cordell, Robert Newton, Jimmy Hanley. First version of Patrick Hamilton's play about an insane criminal who drives his wife crazy in order to discover hidden jewels. Electrifying atmosphere, delicious performances, and a succinctly conveyed sense of madness and evil lurking beneath the surface of the ordinary. MGM supposedly tried to destroy the negative of this original when they filmed the remake. Screenplay by A. R. Rawlinson and Bridget Boland.
