"Spook Louder" is a fairly good Three Stooges comedy directed by Del Lord. This film is unique in that the Stooges are seen entirely in flashback. Moe, Larry, and Curly are salesmen mistaken for caretakers, and when they spend the night at the home of the famous inventor Mr. Graves (Ted Lorch), things become spookier than expected!
Highlights: Curly transcribes a Morse code signal and reads it (literally) to Moe. While the Stooges are about to sell one of their phony reducing machine inventions to a lady (Symona Boniface), Curly removes a post allowing an awning to spill a heap of rainwater onto the furious customer, prompting the boys to make a hasty escape. Curly reacts in horror to a balloon with an ugly face drawn on it. A revolving bookcase causes some trouble for Curly and Moe.
"Spook Louder" is not the greatest of the Three Stooges shorts with spooky premises, but it is still good. I won't reveal the mystery of who threw the pies in this short, but you can be certain that the culprit who did throw them gets a dose of his own medicine!
