Monster of the Day #1843

This was made over a decade after Spooks on the Loose, and the ‘boys’ were showing their age. Still, that poster would have gotten my quarter back in the day.

    That poster seems to be the very definition of “cashing a check that the movie can’t cover.”

    I watched this on TCM last week for their Halloween line-up. It was funny but not outrageously so. First time I’d seen it and was a little disappointed.

    I did not finish watching, but have it recorded. John Dehner’s appearance was enough for me to keep interested. Also grandma Walton doing a Seymour with a carnivorous plant.

    Leo Gorcey looked as old as his dad who was a regular in the films.

    I actually have this one on DVD as part of a Bowery Boys collection. It is actually pretty funny, though you will need to be able to appreciate classic Stooges style slapstick.

    I’m still surprised whenever I think about the little fact that the Bowery Boys were the longest-running film franchise in Hollywood history, producing around 50 films in 12 years. The only longer-running film franchise in North American cinema was the El Santo series.

    Pity they never made ‘The Bowery Boys meet El Santo’.

    For some reason, this seemed to be on TV at least once a month when I was a kid. I remember being mildly surprised when I learned there were other Bowery Boys movies.

    Much as I like Leo Gorcey, I have to wonder if his brand of comedy hasn’t been partially responsible for the poor grammar we now have to wade through on a daily basis….

    Easily the Bowery Boys movie I’ve watched the most.
