What happens

Dark and Stormy Night is a 2009 independent film spoofing the haunted house and murder mystery films produced by Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s. Larry Blamire directed and acted in the film and wrote the screenplay. The film also includes many cast members from Blamire's previous films (such as The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and Trail of the Screaming Forehead). The title refers to the often-parodied opening sentence from the novel Paul Clifford by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
