      Audience Member Yes there was too much uninspired music, but it was hokey fun, particularly if you like spooky haunted house fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review s r Saw it for the cast. Getting to know Kay Kyser was a fun addition. Overall it was too silly to be taken seriously. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Billed as a Comedy, but more of a black Comedy,A young girl who is about to celebrate her 21st birthday has had 3 attempts on her life, for no reason, she has a birthday party at the family mansion,where another attempt is made on her life,her friends who are musicians try to remove her from danger, but the bridge which is the only way on and off the island is hit by Lightning, leaving the poor girl stranded with the killer, with only her friends and psychic Aunt to protect her, It's a good story, mixed with musical numbers,and bad guys, an enjoyable period piece, Helen Parrish sadly died of cancer age 34, who stars in the lead role. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member way too much kaye kyser ruins this haunted house comedy Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An enjoyable spooky house comedy with the real band leader Kay Kyser and his band foiling the fiendish plans of Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Peter Lorre to murder a young heiress. It's really well photographed, especially the creepy passageways and secret rooms; the seance scenes in particular stand out and are genuinely creepy despite the farcical nature of much of the movie. Karloff, Lugosi and Lorre appear to be relishing their roles and play it straight throughout. The film has perhaps a few too many set piece performances from Kay Kysers Band, but on the whole much better than could be expected. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member "We would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for those crazy band members!" I truly was waiting for that line, because it played out like a Scooby Doo episode. A scary/comedy/whodunit kind of story, with three of the horror greats - Karloff, Lugosi, and Lorre. Fun film for those who appreciate Scooby Doo. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
