One Body Too Many1944

Horror Vault's take

When bumbling insurance salesman Albert Tuttle lands an unusual job guarding a wealthy eccentric, he finds himself tangled in a nest of suspicious relatives and shadowy goings-on beneath one very unwelcoming roof. This 1944 horror-comedy leans into the classic haunted-house-party formula, pairing genuine unease with broad physical comedy. Bela Lugosi's presence lends the proceedings an air of delicious menace, keeping audiences guessing whether the laughs or the chills will win out. It's a breezy but atmospheric romp firmly in the Old Dark House tradition.
