A Shriek in the Night is a 1933 American pre-Code comedy horror film starring Ginger Rogers, Lyle Talbot, and Harvey Clark.
Rival newspaper reporters Pat Morgan (Rogers) and Ted Rand (Talbot) find themselves unravelling the mystery behind the death of a millionaire philanthropist who fell from his penthouse balcony. When it is discovered that the plunge was not an accident, the building's residents come under suspicion. Soon, the body count begins to mount as three more murders occur by strangulation.
