The veteran actors outscore the youngsters in this American International farce that came up during the heyday of the beach party movies. Frankie and Annette aren't available, so you get Tommy Kirk and Deborah Walley instead, not to mention the consistently unfunny Harvey Lembeck.
Billed as the corpse, Boris Karloff as been dead for a week, and with the help of the luscious ghostly figure of Susan Hart, looks on his heirs who are desperately trying to find his missing fortune. it's another one of those Drive-In comedies that seems more like a Scooby-Doo Saturday animated cartoon then something that you can sit through for 90 minutes without longing for a snack, but there are a few downright hysterical moments.
The songs and dance numbers (featuring Nancy Sinatra) is pretty much anything that you would see on any of the popular music shows of the time such as "Shindig" and "American Bandstand". Tommy Kirk and Deborah Walley try, but they can't compare to the veterans who really get a chance to shine, especially the very funny Patsy Kelly. She is joined by Jesse White, Francis X. Bushman and another legendary horror figure, Basil Rathbone. This is one of those films you can have a few good laughs at, but you'll be dying for something of more substance not long after it is over.
