Home > All Classic Movies >   Murder By The Clock
	An eerie early-talkie horror-thriller, Murder by the Clock spends most of its time in a cemetery. The matriarch (Blanche Frederici) of a wealthy family is haunted by the notion that she'll be buried alive. To avoid this contingency, she has a horn installed in the family mausoleum, to be activated in case she arises from her casket. The lady is murdered, and shortly after her internment the horn blows at regular intervals. Each time the horn is heard, the dead woman is seen wandering the cemetery, and each time one of her relatives winds up dead. These "supernatural" events are actually being orchestrated by a covetous family member (there's a large legacy involved of course), who uses the services of several homicidal confederates. Irving Pichel is at his most frightening as a simple-minded man who fantisizes about killing people. Cast includes: William "Stage" Boyd as Lt. Valcour, Lilyan Tashman as Laura Endicott, Irving Pichel as Philip Endicott, Regis Toomey as Officer Cassidy and Sally O'Neil as Jane. Considered by many to be one of top three old dark house movies of all time. Our Price: $20.00 Product Code: PHOR3
