Hosts Janna and Debbie discuss the 1944 thriller The Uninvited, starring Ray Milland, Gail Russell, Donald Crisp, and Ruth Hussey, directed by Lewis Allen. They outline the setup of a brother and sister buying a large cliffside beach house and discovering it is haunted, then share reactions to the film’s mix of light comedy, slower pacing, and effective ghost effects despite no CGI.

They summarize the central mystery involving two ghosts—Carmella and Mary Meredith—an affair, Stella’s parentage, and the danger Stella faces, including a seance and a late twist. They compare scariness to other films, trade brief ghost-related stories, pick favorite “martini shot” moments, and invite listener feedback, ghost encounters, and follows on email and social media.
