I love to watch this movie. It's full of little things that add up to a worthwhile experience. Creighton Hale's antics may seem overdone, but he still entertains. "Aunt Susan" is an annoying character that is sure to remind you of someone in your own family. Her response to the police officer's command to join him on the motorcycle is priceless. The "doctor" who shows up in the early morning hours gives a performance that looks serious but comes across as comical. The character of "Mammy Pleasant" looks like she could be a distant relative of Senator John Kerry. But the most surprising part of this movie is Laura La Plante's perfect hair.

If you've seen many silient movies (and I have), you have no doubt noticed that silent movie actresses of the 1920's came to work on bad-hair day, every day. It's typical for a silent film actress's hair to look frizzy and wind-blown, even when she's inside a studio. The hair styling techniques we've grown used to now were not available then. But Laura La Plante's hair is very different; I can only guess that she came by this naturally at a time when it was rare. Perhaps she inpired many in the hair-care industry to find a way to make everyone's hair look that good. And maybe they succeeded.

And if you watch this movie, maybe you'll notice some worthwhile (or simply amusing) things that I missed.

Not bad, but somewhat overlong and hampered by dated editing techniques. Exterior of the "haunted house" is awful, but interiors, including a long hallway lined with full-length windows and billowing curtains, are better. Called the first of its kind, there have been much better versions of the comic-old dark house theme.
