Universal seemed to be obsessed with Wales.
Later on, The Wolfman was set in Wales, but it's Hollywood's idea of Wales.
It doesn't look anything like... No, it doesn't, does it?
And also, it's an austere house.
The art director was a man called Charles D. Hall, who was English, as a lot of the Universal technicians were European.
They were either...
German or Hungarian or British, which is why those universal pictures had a very kind of European kind of milieu.
But he also did Dracula's Castle for Bela Lugosi and Frankenstein's Laboratory for Boris Karloff.
But The Old Dark House is kind of brutalist in a way.
It's certainly not cosy.
And it's not even cobwebby.
It's sort of slab-like.
It is.
It's not a, but then it is an eccentric house for an eccentric family.

I mean, for an early, it's 1932.
It's directed by James Whale, who was from Dudley.
And again, another English connection.
Boris Karloff was English.
