Very fine, very abridged visual retelling of the F. Marion Crawford classic ghost story, “The Upper Berth”. I first read this story in one of the old “Alfred Hitchcock Presents Stories to Keep You Awake At Night” or some such gaudy title. It was an excellent story and is well worth seeking out and getting the chills from. An adventurer finds that his cabinmate aboard a freighter may not be all he appears to be. He may not even be among the living. And there the fun really begins. Read the original story too!

This video takes a very cool, artistic approach to putting visuals to the words. There is a lot of material cut from the Crawford tale but this version truly captures the creepy atmosphere found in the latter part of the story. Nice black and white motion picture work with some frightening special and sound effects. Wellesian in appearance and maintains the haunted tone of Crawford.
