Say Uncle - Uncle Silas - Trapped in a House of Fiends

Blackmail!

Thunderstorms!

And yes ...

Romance!

This hilarious spoof of Gothic melodramas suggested by Sheridan LeFanu's Uncle Silas is set at Barnum Hogg, a grim edifice that looks like Wuthering Heights after a fire

Ghosts walk where tombstones stick up like swollen thumbs

Here Maud Ruthyn, a young heiress, finds herself menaced by a creepy relative who makes Sweeney Todd seem like a nice guy

He hires a monstrous governess, Madame De La Rougepot, and schemes to force Maud to marry his brutish son, Dudley

However, Dudley has a secret wife so he formulates another plan to get Maud's fortune a nasty (and uproarious) scheme involving deceit and murder

Will handsome Captain Oakley and sophisticated Lady Monica save Maud?

And will the mystery of the locked room be revealed?

Wonderfully goofy roles and easy production requirements
