The House of Fear is an American 1945 detective movie, directed by Roy William Neill and starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. This is the tenth installment to the series of fourteen Sherlock Holmes films starring Rathbone and Bruce. The story is loosely adapted from Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Five Orange Pips". Holmes investigates a series of murders among a group of men, calling themselves "The Good Comrades", living in the remote Scottish castle. Before each murder the victim received an envelope with several orange pips.
The following weapons were used in the film The House of Fear:
Webley Bulldog
Webley Bulldog revolvers are seen in hands of Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone), Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) and Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey). Due to numerous continuity errors, Bulldogs (likely a single prop reused) constantly switch to other revolvers, described below.
Colt Detective Special
Colt Detective Special revolvers (also likely a single prop reused) are seen in hands of Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone), Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce), Captain John Simpson (Harry Cording) and Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey), several times switching from and to another revolvers.
Iver Johnson Safety Automatic
Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey) carries a top-break revolver, most likely an Iver Johnson Safety Automatic. Due to a continuity error, this revolver is hold by Holmes in one scene.
