Gene Wilder's spoof on the Old Dark House genre, a genre which seems to run to spoofs more often than not. John Morris's music is the only part of it that runs straight, and is paradoxically the most amusing part. All of the old familiar elements are here, as well as some new and unfamiliar ones like a dash of homosexual necrophilia. In a large and largely unused cast, Jim Carter registers as a funny voice (Hugh Griffith, perhaps, from beyond the grave), but none of the rest registers as a funny anything. Gilda Radner, Dom DeLuise, Jonathan Pryce, Paul L. Smith. (1986) — Duncan Shepherd
