The Cat Creeps is a 1930 American pre-Code mystery film directed by Rupert Julian based on the 1922 play The Cat and the Canary by John Willard. The film is a sound remake of The Cat and the Canary (1927). Starring Helen Twelvetrees, Raymond Hackett, Neil Hamilton, Lilyan Tashman, Jean Hersholt, Elizabeth Patterson, and Montagu Love. Developed as a remake, Universal Pictures initially tried to re-cast Laura La Plante from The Cat and the Canary, but on finding her unavailable re-titled the film to The Cat Creeps. While filming was done during the day, the sets were used at night for a Spanish-language version of the film titled La Voluntad del Muerto. The Cat Creeps was first shown in New York on November 7, 1930, and received critical acclaim from contemporary reviews. Prior to 2025, only two minutes of footage were known to exist in the 1932 Universal short film Boo!. Additional footage was rediscovered in 2025.
