THE DEAD DON'T DREAM 1948 (PLATINUM)

This is the 62nd of 66 Hopalong Cassidy movies, and it plays like a mixture of western and old dark house horror.

Hoppy William Boyd, California (Andy Clyde) and Lucky (Rand Brooks) arrive at an inn for Lucky's marriage, only to find it has been canceled.

It seems that Lucky's fiancee's uncle is missing and she is worried. Hoppy decides to investigate and he discovers the man dead in a mine where he was keeping some gold.

Two more men disappear after staying in the same room at the Inn as the first victim and thise set in motion a bizarre mystery. Hoppy has a lot of suspectrs and decides to stay in the room and trap the killer or killers.

There are a lot of scenes where Hoppy is chasing people thru very dark rooms, hidden chambers and misty countryside. It actually looks like a Universal horror film at times, and I think that adds a lot of extra charm to this particular film.

This is a fun 62 minute western that always has something going on and it never slows down. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
