Movie review - "Spooks Run Wild" (1941) ** (re-viewing)

Boys of the City seems to have been well received enough for Monogram and Sam Katzman to rehash it - once again the kids are off to summer camp, once again they are waylaid by scary people, with a red herring and a genuine maniac. I actually enjoyed this more than the first film - the plot was simpler and there was Bela Lugosi and his midget sidekick providing fun as seeming villains who turn about to be magicians.

The film actually would've been better if Lugosi had been the villain as he has real threat. It's silly and dumb but I have affection for this film.
