A LAUGH-A-MINUTE SHOW FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

(1941, Arthur Lubin) Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in one of their funniest comedies! When Hapless gas station attendants Bud Abbott and Lou Costello inherit a mobster’s estate, they find themselves roommates with some pesky ectoplasm. And what’s up with that moving candle?  With Shemp Howard (of the Three Stooges), Joan Davis, and musical numbers by the Andrews Sisters. Approx. 86 mins. 35mm.

EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTION! Tex Avery's CRAZY MIXED-UP PUP, a 1950s color cartoon

Reviews

“A HEALTHY DOSE OF ‘SCARE COMEDY’… PRIME ABBOTT & COSTELLO, with hilarious Joan Davis as professionional radio screamer… The ‘moving candle’ bit is one of the team's classically funny scenes!”

– Leonard Maltin

“GALES OF LAUGHTER GREET THEIR EVERY TURN!…. THE BOYS ARE IMMENSELY FUNNY!”
