| User ReviewAstrotrainLove to find this on DVD or VHS, a young teen and his family move into a haunted house on the coast. The house is occupied by three ghosts, a young lady, an old hag and a captain, and all three ghosts are well horny after being dead for years. During their stay the teenager is blamed for all the destruction that the ghosts are causing its up to the teeanager to find out how to stop the ghosts before his families vacation is finished at the hands of the murdering ghosts. |
| User ReviewKurt MA delightful comedy in which a couple and their teenage son rent a house for the summer only to discover that the house is haunted. William Castle--best known for such classic horror films as The House on Haunted Hill and Thirteen Ghosts--uses this comedy to parody his own movies and along the way delivers some great laughs and spooky fun. |
| User ReviewMichael AI loved this movie when I was a kid and had the biggest crush on Jill Townsend..I haven't seen it years but now thanks to Olive Films putting out a bluray of it,I can enjoy it whenever the spirit moves me. |
| User ReviewStephen CFun, unsophistocated VERY 60's slapstick comedy featuring Sid Caesar and family (Wife Vera Miles, and ultra-whiny schmendrick-son Barry Gordon-) who rent an old New England house to get away from the hustle-bustle of city life, only to encounter a trio of rowdy and randy ghosts who were involved in a love triangle in their corporeal lives. Hokey, yet very enjoyable, with a dream cast of very recognizable character faces of the day: Mary Wickes, Jesse White, John Astin, Harvey Lembeck, Jay C. Flippen, and especially the wonderfully buck-toothed 1940's comedienne Cass Daley as the most violent of the sparring specters. Perfect Halloween fare! |
