Easy Pickings is a 1927 silent film mystery or 'old dark house' story directed by George Archainbaud and starring Anna Q. Nilsson and Kenneth Harlan.

[1] Zack Williams plays the stereotypical Negro servant who mugs his way through the film in an exaggeratedly nervous manner.

Comedic actor Billy Bevan plays the detective in the film in a more-serious-than-usual manner, and later went on to appear in Dracula's Daughter (1936) and The Invisible Man Returns (1940).

Cameraman Van Enger had photographed the 1925 Lon Chaney classic The Phantom of the Opera, and years later would handle the camerawork on Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).

[2] Mary Ryan and Peter Van Horne get stranded in a haunted house inhabited by some very odd characters.
