(1941) Mantan Moreland, F. E. Miller, Maceo B. Sheffield, Marguerite Whitten. This obscure horror-comedy is great fun and Moreland has some great bits. Mantan inherits a hotel, but upon arrival discovers he’s on the hook for a huge mortgage payment, which, if not paid off, will cause him to lose the hotel. However, hidden somewhere in the hotel is a cache of loot left to him by his uncle. In the meantime the hotel is crawling with bizarre guests, including an invisible man, a monstrous gorilla, a headless corpse (who walks around carrying his head), a strange magician, and a knife thrower. Mantan and his pals have plenty of frightened moments in this enjoyable romp, which is similar in some ways to Hold That Ghost. The knife-throwing scene is hysterical. 16mm.
