    • Trivia
      The Andrews Sisters were brought in after filming wrapped and the final nightclub footage was edited in after the film's completion.
    • Goofs
      During the car chase and gun battle with the police, after Moose Matson is wounded, you can hear him say, "Pull over, will ya?", but the actor's lips are clearly not moving. Also, he's firing at the police (and they are firing at him) through the back window of the car, but when he's shot he's crouching behind the back seat and under the level of the window.
    • Quotes

      Ferdie: Look, from now on, keep one eye on that candle, another eye on that one, and with the other eye watch me!

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits show animated figures representing Abbott and Costello being chased by a giant white flying ghost, whose body morphs into Abbott's and Costello's names and then into the title of the film.

    Ab-bb-ott! Was that a ghost?
    Arthur Lubin directs this scary comedy with Abbott and Costello inheriting a gangster's abandoned piece of property. A haunted house? Some guys have all the luck. Well paced funny script complete with stormy atmosphere. Hilarious and a little spooky. Joan Davis is a scene stealer. Others in support: Richard Carlson, Evelyn Ankers and Marc Lawrence. Classic Abbott and Costello.
