Trivia

The copyright expired and was not renewed, so the film fell into "public domain", meaning that virtually anyone could copy it and sell it without having to pay royalties. That's why there are so so many shoddy, badly cut, grainy copies of it on the market, put out mainly by companies that specialize in public-domain films.

Faq

What film is this one likely to be confused with?

Ghosts on the Loose (1943) is also a scare-comedy with Bela Lugosi and the East Side Kids.

What does Danny's reference to contented cows mean?

Danny: "That cow musta been contented."He's making reference to the slogan for Carnation Evaporated Milk: "Milk from contented cows."

Is this available on DVD?

No major distributor has released it, but several small companies have. This film seems to be in the public domain, which means any distributor can legally sell copies without paying royalties. Beware. Some small distributors market copies of public domain films with poor picture and sound. Others are more prestigious and deliver good transfers of the best available prints. Shop around.
