Old Dark House (1932) remake?


I watched House of the Long Shadows and The Old Dark House this past Halloween and they are very similar. As both are novel adaptations I suppose they aren't related in any way other than coincidence, but the similarities are eerie. Anyone read the novels?

According to the director's commentary, that was their original intent. However, the rights were hopelessly tied-up so they used Seven Keys To Baldpate as their source.
