Spook Busters (1946)
5/10
B-film is a weak forerunner of "Ghost Busters"...
27 March 2010
The gags and, in fact, all of the humor in this Bowery Boys featurette is both dated and unfunny. LEO GORCEY is the self-appointed president of the Insect Exterminating Company who goes after bigger prey when CHESTER CLUTE invites him to investigate the old Menlo house, now deserted, which appears to be haunted.

So, LEO GORCEY, HUNTZ HALL, BOBBY JORDAN and gang get into their jalopy and head for the deserted looking house which, unknown to them, is being used for sinister purposes by none other than DOUGLAS DUMBRILLE and some of his foolish henchmen.

None of the situations that ensue are particularly funny and the humor is as sophomoric as it gets. If you enjoy being hit over the head with one dumb remark after another, this is for you. Others better beware this offering from Monogram from their assembly of B-films.
