In SOMETHING CREEPING IN THE DARK, a group of strangers is stranded at an old mansion due to a flood. Among them is a doctor, a cop, and a notorious criminal named Spike (Farley Granger).
Things get interesting when it's disclosed that the huge house once belonged to a witch named Sheila Marlowe. Of course, a seance is held that conjures up the deceased sorceress. Madness ensues.
Sort of.
This is a very slow-building story of occult weirdness. It's more about the macabre atmosphere. For example: There's a collection of clocks ticking continuously, growing louder as the film progresses. They all suddenly stop. Then, all start again. It's a cool effect!
All while the disembodied witch floats through the house, possessing the unsuspecting.
As supernatural thrillers go, this one is pretty tame. It's not very exciting either. By the time the bodies start piling up it's almost too late. Still, those clocks are awesome...
