Great fun. Tight running time, beautiful photography, genuinely spooky, very meta (with Bob Hope commenting on the cliches of the genre) but also delivering on what it's satirising. Paulette Goddard and Bob Hope team marvellously - she's not energy, glamour and zest, he's got patter and cowardice. Fine support cast too including Gale Sondegaard.
