Topic: Stooges Shorts With a "Halloween" Theme

[Dunrobin]

I was talking to the kids about putting together a Stooges marathon with a "Hallloween" theme for the holiday, and we tried to think of all the "spooky" episodes the boys made.  Here's what we came up with; can you think of any others?

Curly shorts:

• We Want Our Mummy (1939)  - 17 min.
• Spook Louder (1943) - 16 min.
• Idle Roomers (1944) - 16 min.
• If a Body Meets A Body (1945) - 18 min.
• A Bird in the Head (1946) - 17 min.

Added:

• The Yoke's on Me (1944) - 16 min.
• Three Pests in a Mess (1945) - 15 min.

Shemp shorts:

• Hot Scots (948) - 17 min.
• Heavenly Daze (1948) - 16 min.
• The Ghost Talks (1949) - 18 min.
• Who Done It? (1949) - 16 min.
• Dopey Cicks (1950) - 16 min.
• Spooks (1953) - 16 min.
• Scotched in Scotland (1954) - 16 min.
• Creeps (1956) - 16 min.

Admittedly, some of those may be stretching a point, but I think that would make a pretty good Halloween line-up.

[Giff me dat fill-em!]

I'm having trouble recalling which one of those shorts had the cartoonish-looking Japanese men and the boys holding up the Halloween jack o'lanterns ...

Dont forget THREE PEST IN A MESS. It's got the "dead rubbish guy", Cemetery and the guys in the halloween party costumes

Thanks, guys!  I knew I was forgetting some good ones.

WOW what a great line up and I will put a video tape together with that  line up too and watch it on halloween.

What year was Three Pests in a Mess anyway ??

What year was Three Pests in a Mess anyway ??

1945. You can easily find the year of an episode by clicking the "Jump To Episode" bar on the top and clicking on the episode. On the episode page, you will find the month, day and year of it's release.

What would be the total running time for this lineup ??

I've modified my original post to include the two suggestions and I added the running times for each short.  Total time for all 14 shorts in the amended list is 230 minutes (just under 4 hours.)

I would include some of the gorilla shorts. DIZZY DETECTIVES and CRIME ON THEIR HANDS and HOT ICE.

You forgot SHIVERING SHERLOCKS and BEDLAM IN PARADISE. Was CREEPS the remake of A GHOST TALKS?

What about Fright Night & 3 Missing Links & Mummies Dummies 

[rvoyttbots]

Fight Night is a play on words: Fight Night. The short is about gangsters & boxing. Mummies Dummies has no mummy in it or any horror elements. Three Missing Links has a gorilla but is a spoof of jungle films tho it could fit in.

Sorry, I meant to type FRIGHT Night is a play on words: Fight Night.

You are correct and I was going by the titles and I should have looked them up on this site but when I do the 3 DUMB CLUCKS page loads by itself, why I don't know

THIS is last years Halloween topic - and I thought it to be appropriate for this year (2006) to review what we talked about then - ENJOY!
