THE SPOOK TRAIN (1939) Sara Heyblom, Lies de Wind, Chris Baay, Adolphe Engers, Louis Borel. A group of travelers are stranded for a creepy night’s stay at a deserted train station, which according to the grizzled stationmaster, is haunted. Things take a turn for the mysterious when the stationmaster later drops to the floor—dead, purportedly from the “curse” of the ghost train. Things get even weirder when his corpse disappears with no explanation. Soon—in a truly horrifying moment—the ghostly train makes an appearance. But is there something even more sinister at hand? This grand ghost story has been on screen before, including the 1941 and 1931 British versions. In Dutch with English storycards. From 35mm.
