Wilder plays ham radio actor Larry Abbot, who takes his fiancee Vickie Pearle (Gilda Radner) out to meet his relations on a gloomy country estate before they are married. The creepy clan is lorded over by the bizarre Aunt Kate (Dom DeLuise), who keeps babbling about a local rampaging werewolf. As Larry and Vickie try to spend a quiet weekend in the mansion, they are assaulted with all manners of spooky goings-on -- the kind of routines that were already growing whiskers when Abbott and Costello first dusted them off over fifty years ago. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Extremely disappointing comedy w/Wilder, Radner, DeLuise.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Wilder, Radner, DeLuise ... what were you goofalls thinking?
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Whoa, this is bad. Even cribbed dialogue from The Old Dark House can't save it.

Bet not many have seen this, Wilder genius here, really spooky 'Addams' style fun with good laughs, a kinda 'Hammer Horror' old fashioned style horror flick that isn't scary atall lol I just love the look of these films, the big mansions, sweeping staircases,… More
Bet not many have seen this, Wilder genius here, really spooky 'Addams' style fun with good laughs, a kinda 'Hammer Horror' old fashioned style horror flick that isn't scary atall lol I just love the look of these films, the big mansions, sweeping staircases, flowing curtains, cobwebs etc.. Charming comedy with a lovely cast that could almost be a Brooks spoof.

Very cute film. Lacking the magic of a classic Mel Brooks' spoof, he would have made a fine director on this little comedy. Not all bad, but not all intriguing.

This haunted comedy of Gene Wilder film is unfunny and Dom DeLuise is even unfunnier in drag than wearing trousers.
xGary X

Almost surreally unfunny ghost comedy that makes your average Mel Brookes film look like the soul of wit and sophistication.
Sarah P

Obviously this isn't a great movie, but it is campy and even funny in some parts. I love the musical number with Gilda Radner and Dom Deluise and Gene Wilder was really funny even with what he was given.
Nicky M

Amusing in a wish I was a Mel Brooks' movie kinda way. Falls short of it's aspirations of being a quality spoof but good physical comedy makes up a bit.
Leo L
