“Leave Your Love Secrets At Home!”
Directed by Victor Halperin
The premise
After her brother's death, Roma Courtney becomes the heiress to his fortune. When a fake psychic claims to have a message from her dead brother, he coaxes her into participating in a séance. While her fiancé first believes the séance is nothing more than a scam, he eventually realizes that the vengeful spirit of an executed murderer has possessed Roma's body.
Horror Vault's take
When a young heiress seeks connection with her recently deceased brother, a smooth-talking fraudulent psychic draws her into a dangerous séance she cannot escape. What begins as an apparent con game soon takes a genuinely sinister turn as dark, otherworldly forces make their presence felt. This Pre-Code chiller blends old-dark-house mystery with supernatural menace, anchored by a standout leading performance from Carole Lombard. Fans of early Hollywood horror will find it a stylish and unsettling curio from the genre's golden age.
