Until now I didn't watch much with Harold Lloyd. Again another deficiency. Now I am catching up, but I am much in doubt if this is really worth the trouble. The first item on the DVD with Lloyd's shorts is Haunted Spooks.
The spooky part is probably meant to be the climax of this film. "The Girl" can only get her uncle's estate when she is married. Therefore relatives want to scare them away by pretending that the place is haunted. After some appearances of "ghosta" they move in. Boy and girl together at last.
The main part of this short is aboutr the misfortunes of the boy. As his doesn't get the girl he sues he tries to commit suicide, but no success whatsoever.
It is strange that a short with a running time of around 25 minutes cannot develop one plot line. This is like three sketches stitched together. Disapointing.
4/10
