See more M H 09/14/2021 Forgotten gem. Classic movie that would never be made today. See more 03/23/2021 Great comedy with silly fun abound! This has been a movie I have enjoyed with my entire family since I was a young. We all still get together and watch this every single year for the holidays! Good, Clean Fun for ALL ages! See more 05/30/2020 When I first saw this movie in 1981 my 13 year old self could not have loved it more. Reteaming two of my childhood favs Tim Conway and Don Knotts who I enjoyed in the Apple Dumpling Ganf movies and putting in a haunted house was ingenious. Their chemistry is great. Though the laughs aren't as frequent as one would like, it still is a fond memory from my childhood and now a fixture for my wife and 2 boys every Halloween.
