Clyde

Spook to Me (1945)

** (out of 4)

Andy Clyde takes a group of kids camping when they learn that a haunted house is close so naturally they go check it out and run into more than they expected. There are a couple good laughs here including a very funny gag at the start of the film when Clyde and his servant run into their first guest. The film features many of the same gags that ran throughout the old dark house genre and offers very little new ideas but it's still mildly entertaining.

As of now, none of Clyde's Columbia shorts are on DVD so you'll have to find them through collectors.
