Kind of funny... the title on Turner Classics is "Hillbillies in a Haunted House", but the VCR cover they show is "Hillbillys in a Haunted House". features the usual horror cast of Lon Chaney, Basil Rathbone, John Carradine. Songs by Merle Haggard, and band. One of the twelve film roles Haggard ever did. they are driving around in a car, but clearly, from the sound, they are in a small room with SO MUCH echo it hurts. and Don Bowman didn't do many films, but here he is as the comical sidekick "Jeepers". The plot actually would have been so much better without the songs killing off the story line. Delicious co-star Joi Lansing was married four times ( imdb only shows three husbands.) but sadly, she died SO young at age 43. and when she sings, even more echo. the last film for Linda Ho. skip this one. it seems to highlight the (very loud) songs by Haggard, but not so much story.... a haunted house ? really? just not a good film. can't recommend this one, unless you're a real Merle Haggard fan. Directed by Jean Yarbrough; he had done TONS of stuff with Abbott and Costello.
