THURSDAY FEATURE!
Okay, this one isn’t a horror-comedy per se… it’s a spoof of jungle films. BUT… it does star Abbott & Costello with two Stooges in support (Shemp Howard and Joe Besser)… and some of the cast is scared by gorillas (a staple of horror-comedies). Not to mention those magic words, “public domain!” So let’s “go ape” with Bud & Lou!

TUESDAY TRAILER!
More of a “mystery-comedy” than a “horror-comedy” from Stan & Ollie, but there is some sleight-of-hand illusion from Dante the Magician to contend with, as well as the spooky title. A cousin of sorts to such films as Arsenic & Old Lace, Abbott & Costello Meet the Killer and The Boogie Man Will Get You.

SATURDAY 'TOONS - EAST SIDE BOWERY STYLE!
Bowery Boys week continues here at Scared Silly (read all about it by clicking here)… and here’s another Saturday ‘Toons edition!
We’re starting off with the poster above for the Mighty Mouse cartoon, Dead End Cats. I can’t post the cartoon here as it’s not in the public domain, but the movie poster is. The cartoon itself has nothing to do with the Dead End Kids beyond the title possibly being inspired by it.
The following cartoons, however ARE in the public domain and so I’ll happily post them here.
The first, a Max Flesischer cartoon features the first-ever animated reference to the Dead End Kids… all the way at the end of the cartoon:
The second features another mighty mouse and is a more indirect, potential nod to Leo Gorcey. The character Herman would go on to greater fame for a series of cartoons in which he bedeviled the poor feline, Katnip. Here’s one of Herman’s early solo shorts. ENJOY!
