House of Secrets (1936)

"The House of Secrets" is an old, dark house mystery from 1936. When a man unexpectedly inherits an English estate, he tries to take over the property only to find squatters there. He's later attacked by a group of American gangsters, and along with a detective friend, works to find out the mystery of why everyone wants to get into his house.

The House of Mystery (1934)

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. You may want to skip 30 seconds if you don't want any whiff of the plot of that movie. Title: The House of Mystery Director: William Nigh IMDB Rating: 4.8 out of 10 Content warnings: Racism, trivializing disability, trivializing religion, animal abuse Notable actors: Joyzelle Joyner * https://archive.org/details/sininsoftfocuspr0000viei [https://archive.org/details/sininsoftfocuspr0000viei] * http://www.precodemisbehaving.com/2013/08/the-life-and-scandal-of-joyzelle-joyner.html [http://www.precodemisbehaving.com/2013/08/the-life-and-scandal-of-joyzelle-joyner.html] 5th Edition Character: Chanda the Gorilla Queen Learn more at World of Welstar: Twitter: @WorldofWelstar [https://twitter.com/WorldofWelstar] Instagram: @world_of_welstar [https://www.instagram.com/world_of_welstar/] Facebook: @worldofwelstar [https://www.facebook.com/worldofwelstar] Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/talien [https://www.patreon.com/talien] Watch this movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zg2ZbV0xeyI Buy the 50 movie set: https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGn [https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGn] These show notes contain affiliate links.

House of Danger (1934)

"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 Danger Alternate Title: The Great Gamble Director: Charles Hutchison B/W or Color: B/W IMDB Rating: 5.2/10 Content warnings: Suicide, kidnapping, car crash, impersonating someone Hilarious tagline: “A MYSTERY STORY OF THRILLS AND ROMANCE!" 5th Edition Character: Gordon, a villainous manservant Learn more at World of Welstar: Twitter: @WorldofWelstar [https://twitter.com/WorldofWelstar] Instagram: @world_of_welstar [https://www.instagram.com/world_of_welstar/] Facebook: @worldofwelstar [https://www.facebook.com/worldofwelstar] Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/talien [https://www.patreon.com/talien] Watch this movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BVZ0-5F_7Zk [https://youtu.be/BVZ0-5F_7Zk] Buy the 50 movie set: https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGn [https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGn] These show notes contain affiliate links.

The Savage Girl - 1932

"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 Girl Year: 1932 B/W or Color: B/W Director: Harry Frasher IMDB Rating: 4.4 out of 10 Hilarious tagline: A wild goddess rules the jungle! Length: 1 hour and 6 minutes Content warnings: Racism, misogyny, attempted rape, violence 5th Edition Character: The Goddess, an elven druid Learn more at World of Welstar: Twitter: @WorldofWelstar Instagram: @world_of_welstar Facebook: @worldofwelstar Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/talien Watch this movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xa-WZsRC1YU Buy the 50 movie set: https://amzn.to/3Nj5PGn These show notes contain affiliate links.
