Abstract
The generic dissonance between romantic comedy and horror film in The Uninvited (1944) is explored through a focus on the character and placements of the “Serenade to Stella by Starlight.” The essay describes the tension between this songlike theme, the sound of the piano, and the identification of the Serenade more closely with its composer (the male lead) than with the woman he wrote it for.
