SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Dark and Stormy Night, it is a loving, deliberately deadpan spoof of old-fashioned B-movie conventions, played with straight-faced period style and cheerfully absurd plotting.
02
Why this pick
A mansion-bound ensemble mystery with exaggerated detective archetypes, elaborate comic timing, and a knowingly theatrical take on classic whodunit mechanics.
03
Why this pick
Its stormy isolated-house setting, suspicious guests, rapid-fire farce, and affectionate murder-mystery pastiche make it a natural companion.
04
Why this pick
A broad old-dark-house parody in which bumbling investigators navigate a spooky estate, eccentric suspects, and intentionally corny genre humor.
05
Why this pick
A densely jokey, straight-faced homage to vintage Hollywood mysteries, built around a large cast, noir-era stylization, and deliberately ridiculous complications.

01 / THE STORY
On a dark and stormy night in the 1930s, a number of people gather at an isolated country estate to hear the reading of the will of the wealthy Sinas Cavinder, including: wealthy nephew Burling Famish Jr. (Brian Howe) and his wife Pristy (Christine Romeo); Pristy's dim-witted lover Teak Armbruster (Kevin Quinn); big-game hunter Jack Tugdon (Jim Beaver); the foppish Lord Partfine (Andrew Parks); elderly Mrs. Hausenstout (Betty Garrett); kindly Seyton Ethelquake (James Karen); and the fragile Sabasha Fanmoore (Fay Masterson), Cavinder's ward.
