Since we are in October, I want to take advantage of the opportunities presented during this month. As a result, we are diverging to focus on Columbia scare comedies. Unfortunately, the next Andy Clyde short, SPOOK TO ME, is no longer available and would have been a scare comedy. Instead, we drop back to 1931 to review his Mack Sennett short, GHOST PARADE. The next two weeks we will review a couple of the Hugh Herbert & Dudley Dickerson scare comedies before resuming our normal order through Andy and then Hugh's shorts.

We think alike. I have a short I am going to review in the next few days as well, same October theme. I’ll let SPOOK TO ME digest for a few days before printing my review.
Sometime this week, it will be the 1925 Stan Laurel solo short, DR. PYCKLE AND MR. PRIDE. I was going to do the 1931 feature version, and as great a film as that is, I figure this short, both shorter and easily more watchable online, is likely to garner more responses.
I’ll probably throw in INTERNATIONAL HOUSE later this month too. It has Bela Lugosi in it, so for that alone, qualifies for October.
