For those of you that enjoyed AEET's previous Mitzi of the Movies double feature post HERE, how about a couple more fun films recently added to the ever expanding Karswell SUPER 8 Kollection. This time it's two of my favorite comedy creep classics: the Martin & Lewis haunted island castle hilarity of Scared Stiff from 1953 (watch the silent subtitled version of this Ken Films 8mm version HERE on youtube, and also check out the trailer HERE!) Plus, the all-time madcap mummy-rama from 1955, Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy! (see that trailer HERE!) Condensed film versions like this will never not be a chuckle-filled blast, and are made even more collectably cool by that beautifully painted artwork on the box lids. I need TROG!

The Karswell Kollecsh is the stuff of dreams! Every one of those boxes is a work of art. They just don’t make ’em like that anymore… Now let’s get some TROG up in here!
Pre VCR/Beta fun.
Seems to be a few on eBay at the moment and around $30 each, —the glamorous ghost of Joan Crawford is haunting me to get one!
Way way pre!
Man, that Scared Stiff box is aces--looks like a bitchin Milton Bradley board game--but it's that Abbot and Costello reel I'm actually coveting from this post. Great stuff.
Did the Martin and Lewis movie really come on that unnaturally small spool originally, or did somebody pull a fast one?
It fits on the reel, it’s just come unwound a bit
I need to not comment to these posts on FB because I use up the best jokes!
Watching the clip on YT it's pretty interesting how Lewis and Martin's chemistry works even without any sound.
Trust me, that was NOT your best. Also, now that you mention it—what happened to that post on FB?!!
