Spook Louder is the 69th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.
Plot
The Stooges are traveling salesmen trying their best to sell their "Miracle Reducing Machine," which essentially shakes and rattles off the pounds (as Curly's demonstrates). As luck would have it, the boys stumble on the home of Graves the inventor (Theordore Lorch), who assumed the Stooges are the news caretakers. Graves is on his way to Washington, DC to test his new death ray, and leaves his errie spooky mansion in the hands of the trio. Naturally, spies (disguised in halloween costumes) show up once Graves departs. The Stooges are on edge the entire time, particularly because mysterious cream pies comes flying out of thin air.
Notes
During World War II, the Stooges made a few comedies that engaged in propaganda and attacks on the Japanese. While well intentioned at the time, shorts like Spook Louder and The Yoke's On Me can be uncomfortable to view today.
