Bela Lugosi in 'Spooky House Kids'

The LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS format is certainly evidenced in Fancey's back-catalog as early as 1943, with his hour-long second-feature DOWN MEMORY LANE, in which a music hall manager remembers past...

Scruno actually sez "It's dem ghosties again". Three separate times. Then comes the organ that opens the secret passage. Then Muggs dresses as a ghost and Danny calls him by name. There's a graveyard,...

the idea of Fancey employing Lugosi for half a day... isn't entirely beyond the realm of possibility; even though I think that, if he really had shot such footage in 1951, then he would have used it...
