The next five days will be dedicated to celluloid moments that are wacky, absurd and tinged with Terror.
Let's begin with two shorts.
Spook Louder (1943):
The mystery of the pies remains unsolved to this very day.
The Ghost Talks (1949):
The Ghost Talks was later recycled and released (with additional footage that made the ghost in the suit of armor a more aggressive sort of spirit) in 1956 as Creeps. This was a year after Shemp passed away. The cinematic reanimation of the dead stooge is kinda creepy don't you think?
My children revealed to me a few months ago that they think The Three Stooges episodes with Curly are generally better than the ones with Shemp. This hurt a little. I'm a Shemp man. Heepeepeehepee!
They did agree (after I whined a bit about the greatness of Shemp) that The Ghost Talks is overall one of their all-time favorite episodes. I supposed that is why we watched it once a week for about three months...
and that was absolutely cool with me.
