The house is haunted again and the Mikes are going to see if they can get out of it in one piece in Oliver Onions's masterpiece of atmospheric horror The Beckoning Fair One. You may want to leave, be begged to leave, or just decide it is that time of year to quietly pull down the shades and stay in until the snow melts.

Yes, of course it is Cocktail Time!
