It Was A Dark and Stormy Night
by Tim Kelly

An "old dark house" spoof loaded with laughs and thrills.
When the wind howls and the lights flicker, the excitement builds and danger begins. A heroine in peril, a haunting, flaky characters, clutching hands and eerie music are some of the classic cliches used in this daffy romp culminating in a twisted ending.
