The Scarlet Claw. 1944.
Holmes and Watson are drawn to a case where the locals believe a monster is at large after a woman is found dead, but the duo believe it to be no more than a human murderer.
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Watson return as the crime fighting duo with their on theories, the plot is brilliantly written and has a good atmospheric background score that blends in well. This one does tend to go in the way of the Dark Gothic tone and makes it feel like it may be supernatural creature but does make it feel like you want to be on the edge of your seat a lot.
