Viewing Notes
Capped Hallow’s Eve with Radley Metzger’s rather subdued (for him) The Cat and the Canary (1978). Fairly decent horror mystery featuring the likes of Olivia Hussey and Honor Blackman. Pretty much like the original and all the other riffs on the same premise; people visit an old home in hopes of receiving a nice inheritance from the deceased home owner. Then murder ensues. Not bad.
