Rather enjoyable light-hearted ghost story
4 April 2005
I've just watched The Ghost Breakers for the first time and rather enjoyed it and was creepy in parts.

A woman has just inherited a castle on a small island which turns out to be haunted. She goes over there with some other people and as soon as they arrive, they become nervous. They are terrorised by bats, phantoms and a zombie. They also discover some treasure. After a final battle, they leave. A good decision.

We have a thunderstorm in this movie, but not at the castle where you would expect. This happens in New York.

The Ghost Breakers reunites Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard from The Cat and the Canary and are joined by Richard Carlson (Creature From the Black Lagoon), Paul Lukas (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) and an early role for Anthony Quinn. The zombie is played by King Kong actor Noble Johnson. Good parts from all.

I rather enjoyed The Ghost Breakers, even though it is a comedy which I am not a huge fan of. Great fun.
