Thrills, chills and hilarity
The Cat and the Canary (1939) has the perfect mix of laughs and thrills. Blending the two correctly takes a deft touch and it comes off perfectly here. Neither the comedy nor the fear seem forced.

Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard and the always excellent George Zucco and the rest of the entire cast hit the right note with each line and gesture.

The movie also is a good mystery that plays fair with the clues. Those who pay close attention are awarded with being able to solve the crime.

The Cat and the Canary remains one of the best, if not the best, example of the haunted house comedy genre.

One of the best Hope vehicles & great haunted house comedy
I have a (poor quality) VCR tape of this, and it's one of my all-time favorites. Paulette Goddard is at her most beautiful, and Hope is in top form, too. I can't wait until it's finally released in DVD.
