In One of the Seven is a lost fragment of the 1940 film The House of the Seven Gables, starring horror matinee idol Vincent Price.  Presented now for the first time ever since it was lost on the cutting room floor in 1939. Scholars believe this fragment was omitted through the Motion Picture Production Code for imagining the puritanical scaffolding of the United States burning down along with the titular house of the the film and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1851 novel of the same name.

In One of the Seven will be published on January 14.
