SHERLOCK HOLMES - THE HOUSE OF FEAR T-SHIRT

A Sherlock Holmes t-shirt available in black cotton.

Mystery, menace, and masterful deduction — The House of Fear (1945) is one of the finest and eeriest entries in the legendary Sherlock Holmes film series starring Basil Rathbone as the great detective and Nigel Bruce as his loyal companion, Dr. Watson.

Loosely based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Five Orange Pips, the film finds Holmes and Watson investigating a series of deaths among the members of a mysterious Scottish club — each victim receiving an envelope containing five orange seeds before meeting a grim fate. Set against a backdrop of gothic fog, storm-battered cliffs, and candlelit corridors, The House of Fear captures the perfect blend of old-world horror and detective intrigue that made the Rathbone era so iconic.

“Fear, Watson, is the most dangerous enemy of all.” – Holmes
