Murder with a new twist, mystery that defies detection, suspense at its highest pitch and goose pimples by the basket-full are all promised film fans when they see “Fear in the Night,” the chiller-thriller, now showing at the Opera House Theatre.

Unusual is a mild word when in connection with this eerie yarn of a man who murders and then can’t remember why or when. Weird indeed, is the final outcome, climaxing many spine-tingling episodes in which the troubled murderer, after unsuccessfully attempting suicide, enlists the aid of his detective brother-in-law and sets out to clear his soul.
