At first, this didn't seem much like the other Paul Leni films I'd seen.
Ya gotcha long hallway, with fluttering drapery....
...and the extreme angles, to enhance the sense of altered reality...
....and then...
...this lighting...
...shows up and knocks all the cliches right off the screen.
The Cat and the Canary (1927)
directed by Paul Leni
cinematography by Gilbert Warrenton
art direction by Charles D Hall

Saw it - at least a version. Loved it. Great visuals.

Its streaming right now on Netflix, too. I love that they include silent films for that feature.
