Thirteenth Chair Double Feature (1929) The Thirteenth Chair Double Feature (1929 / 1937) - DVD
Two very different directors, Tod Browning (Freaks) and George B. Seitz (the Andy Hardy series), tackle the same sensational stage mystery nearly a decade apart in these two films from the Tiffany of movie studios. Aiding the inspector is the murdered man's friend who hatches a scheme to use a phony medium in a seance to draw out the killer from a group of suspects. When the killer uses the cover of darkness during the ritual to strike again, the medium must solve the mystery. Tod Browning's take is decidedly pre-Code and heavy on atmosphere, while George B. Seitz serves up a lean and sly suspense thriller.
