The Cat Creeps is a 1930 crime/mystery film, and a sound remake of The Cat and the Canary (1927). It is one of the many lost films of the early talkie film era. A Spanish-language version titled La Voluntad del Muerto starring Lupita Tovar was filmed by Universal Pictures at night on the same sets used to film The Cat Creeps during the day. No prints or negatives are known to exist, only some stills and the soundtrack.
According to the Internet Movie Database, a few clips do survive in a 1932 short film entitled Boo.
