    • Trivia
      Filming began January 3, 1946. There would be no more horror titles produced at Universal until 1951's "The Strange Door" (unless one wishes to include the Abbott and Costello spoofs that began with 1948's "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein")."The Cat Creeps" was issued on a double bill with "She-Wolf of London," on May 17,1946,Universal's last horror double feature of the 40's.

    Give This Mystery A SECOND LOOK.
    THE CAT CREEPS over the years has gotten a bum rap that it did not deserve. It has an all too familiar plot, sure, but it also has a darn good cast of character actors who are fun to watch, particularly Noah Beery, Jr. And exactly what is he up to when he peeks out of a room, rope in one hand and the "mystery women" in the background??? It has its moments, all about the search for missing loot in a creepy old house, this time on a deserted island. One by one the cast of characters are bumped off, one falling head first on to a pitch fork, all the while a black cat slinks around in the background. Its a good Universal time killer, pardon the pun, the kind of second bill stuff the studio churned out in the 40s and its worth a second look, if not for sentimental reasons, for all us big kids who saw it on the Late Late Show a long time ago.
