Lost UNIVERSAL MONSTERS horror THE CAT CREEPS.
1946. Black & White.
At Key Towers, the remote island home of Cora Williams (Vera Lewis), several people are gathered, including a crooked lawyer and a private-eye (Douglas Dumbrille), who are all linked by their implication in the apparent suicide of Eric Goran. That night a journalist (Fred Brady), and a photographer (Noah Beery), for the Morning Chronicle are stranded at the house with the other guests and subjected to a night of terror.
The soul of a murdered woman seems to live on in a cat that possesses extra sensory powers while the newspapermen try to solve the murder and discover a hidden fortune.
A competent and atmospheric thriller directed by Erle C. Kenton. Erle Cauthorn Kenton was born August 1st 1896 in Norborne, Missouri. He first entered the film industry as a comedian, working on the Keystone Cops series & worked his way up the studio ladder as a gagman and assistant director.
After successfully handling several 2-reelers, Kenton was given a crack at directing a feature film, the 1920 Sennett production Down on the Farm. Kenton directed features in nearly every genre of film during his Hollywood career; crime dramas, The Public Menace (1935) Westerns, End of the Trail (1936) adventure films, North to the Klondike (1942) war films, Devils Squadron (1936) and comedies, including two of Abbott & Costellos funniest films, Pardon My Sarong (1942) and Who Done It? (1942).
Kenton directed the superb Island of Lost Souls (1932) (which was based on The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells) and several other horror films including The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), House of Frankenstein (1944) and House of Dracula (1945). The latter two films are interesting curiosities in which Dracula, the Wolf Man and the Frankenstein monster defy the laws of chance and all turn up in the same area.
In the 1950s he turned to directing series TV episodes, including The Public Defender (1954) and The Texan (1958). Erle C. Kenton died on January 28, 1980 in Glendale, California.
