Not horror but ghostly - The Time of Their Lives w Abbott & Costello

🎃 *Happy Halloween!*

I love this.
A bit of poignancy, and a lot of laughs. 👍

Two Revolutionary War participants (now ghosts) are falsely accused of being traitors to the revolutionary cause - finally have a chance to clear their names.

Saw this so many times as a kid. Then I thought to look it up a few years and was able to watch it after decades.
It was still wonderful! ❤️

"That's the wind."

"It should get oiled."

Great to see on Halloween.

Not to mention this was Bela Lugosi's last "serious" film. After this his drug addiction (brought on by the pain killers he was prescribed after an accident) made him unemployable except for Ed Wood of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" fame.
