Thank you. We aim to please. I like movies about young women in flimsy nightgowns terrorized by frogmen? Am I in the right place? A few years ago I saw a film about a werefrog at a festival. Apparently the original plan was to be about a werewolf but werewolves are very hard to do well on a tight budget and timespan whereas non furry werebeasts are a comparative doddle. The werefrog was a teenage girl though so she didn't do any young women terrorising.

Stephen Spurrier L. P. Hartley - The Cottilon: ( Illustrated London News, 24 Nov. 1930). Fresh from driving a young man to despair, Marion Lane attends the dance at the Mannings' on December 27th. Somehow she finds herself partnering a taciturn guest she can't quite recognise. Concluding his goodbye letter, James Chichester expressed a wish that " ... before I die (or after, it doesn't much matter!) I should like to see you unmasked so that for a moment I can compare the reality with the illusion I used to cherish."

It's a fairly obvious one, but "Smee" by A M Burrage fits the bill. You can read it for free - right here.

Chester, Sunday Pictorial, 4 October 1936 Elliott O'Donnell - The Pig-faced Phantom of Chelsea: ( Ghosts Helpful and Harmful, 1924). A tragedy at a family fancy dress party to celebrate the engagement of the youngest daughter. Perhaps the excitement proved too much for the bride-to-be, who was found dead in her locked bedroom mid-occasion. The poor girl's ghost is stuck with the grotesque mask she was wearing as she died. Haunted Premises in question are "near Markham-square" (author is not at liberty to divulge exact location). A version reappears as Chelsea's Masked Phantom in the Sunday Pictorial, 4 October 1936, which is where I read it.
