If I am ever in a house with a madman on the loose who everyone knows wants to set the place on fire (again) I really, REALLY hope that no one locks me in my bedroom (like the old man) or a cupboard (the two women) for my own safety...
I prefer Imaginality to reality.
Yeah, probably not the best places to be, lol! Then again I wouldn’t advise even going into a house when someone like Morgan answers the door. You should also be a bit weary of houses with prison cells on the third floor; they are usually not there for any wholesome reason!

I just got done watching this old gem.
But you're right, that part really doesn't make sense:
[from a script I found online]:
MARGARET WAVERTON: "What are we to do? Can't we stay in here?"
PHILIP WAVERTON: "No, supposing he set fire to the place? Come on."
MARGARET WAVERTON: "But what about Sir Roderick?"
PHILIP WAVERTON: "We must lock the door."
They rush into the hallway. Philip prepares to lock the door. He calls to Sir
Roderick on the far side of the room.
PHILIP WAVERTON: "Sir Roderick, I'm going to lock you in."
But Sir Roderick doesn't answer.
MARGARET WAVERTON: "He's asleep."
Philip shuts and locks the door. He and Margaret race down the stairs.
=====================
I mean, he is a hundred and two, but still...
