The Terror is a 1928 American pre-Code horror film[1] written by Harvey Gates and directed by Roy Del Ruth, based on the 1927 play of the same name by Edgar Wallace.

Guests, including the spiritualist Mrs. Elvery and detective Ferdinand Fane, are frightened by strange noises and mysterious organ music.

In August 1928, Time said the film is "better than The Lion and the Mouse, [an] all-talk picture of which May McAvoy, Alec Francis, two of the terrorized, are veterans.

It starred Wilfrid Lawson, Bernard Lee, Arthur Wontner, Linden Travers, Henry Oscar, and Iris Hoey.
