Dancing from The Haunted Strangler

In recognition of Halloween -

Cancan routines seem to have a place in the older "horror" movies set in the 19th century, including this very nice routine (unfortunately speeded up) frorm The Haunted Strangler.  Other examples of the genre are The Lodger/Man in the Attic, House of Wax and various Jekyll/Hyde and Rue Morgue movies.

(cancan starts about 33:00)(sorry about the subtitles - the non-subtitled versions have been deleted)

The Ripper story has had other notable film associations with the cancan - "The Lodger" (1944) and its remake, "Man in the Attic".
