SPOOKS RUN WILD(1940)


Not the greatest Lugosi movie, especially because
of the East Side Kids! They were known for their
slap-stick, bad boy movies! I'm not a huge fan of
slap stick movie/TV! If it weren't for Lugosi,
this would not get a very good grade at all. But
for him, and his pal Angelo Rossito(a real Michael
Dunn clone), it gets a - C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Just a few quick points. - This was one of the-
nine little gems that Lugosi made for Monogram-
(one of the better ones), and it's one of two he-
made with the East Side Kids. It's important to-
note that they WERE still kids (teenagers) when-
this film was made.-- They became "The Bowery Boys"-
when they grew up (It's mentioned in another comment-
that this film stars The Bowery Boys-- that's a BIG-
mistake!). The East Side Kids acted differently-
than, and looked different from, The Bowery Boys.-
-- The Bowery Boys films had more of a "Three Stooges"-
look and feel to them, and had none of the adolescent-
angst than can sometimes be seen in The East Side Kids-
films. And let's not forget that both groups grew out-
of the original Warner Brothers group: "The Dead End-
Kids." - cinema_universe
