Product Description

Digital mayhem ensues in this spooktacular selection of the trio's six funniest fear fests:

Spook Louder (1943): Traveling salesman, The Three Stooges, meet their toughest customers when an inventor hires them to guard his spooky home while he is away. Things get really grim when three spies disguised as monsters show up.

Mummy's Dummies (1948): The Smiling Egyptians is a used-chariot lot run by the Stooges in ancient Egypt. Business is booming until they make the mistake of selling a lemon to the chief of the palace guard, which lands them in hot water with the king.

Shivering Sherlocks (1947): When an armored car robber strikes, the Stooges are rounded up for interrogation. A cafe owner vouches for them and they are freed, but it isn't long before they come face to face with the bloodthirsty robber and his hatchet man.

The Ghost Talks (1949): The Stooges have a job to do, but it isn't going to be easy. Their job is to remove a suit of armor from the Smorgasbord Castle. The problem: the armor doesn't want to leave until the ghost of Lady Godiva returns for their rendezvous!

Hokus Pokus (1949): A beautiful con artist uses Moe, Larry and Shemp as character references in her scheme to defraud an insurance company. But when a famed hypnotist casts a spell on the Stooges, no one can insure what happens next.

Fright Night (1947): In Shemp's first short as a member of the Stooges, the three are trainers at Muscle Manor, a macho gym for boxers. When a gangster threatens them, they use cream puffs -- including a live one! -- to soften their champ up for losing.

Customer Reviews

An OK DVD!
Spook Louder is an OK DVD. One thing I don't like about it is that there are too many Shemp episodes. If they were going to release a Shemp DVD, Columbia should have released better episodes like "Crime On Their Hands", "Who Done It?", and "Tricky Dicks". Those are hilarious Shemp episodes. The only good Shemp episodes on this DVD are "Shivering Sherlocks" and "Mummy's Dummies". The other three are good, but there are better Shemp episodes out there. "Spook Louder" is a great Curly episode. Of course, I'm a Curly fan. But I also like Shemp. I am just very picky with Shemp episodes. I like every Curly episode except "Restless Knights". Overall, this is a pretty good DVD. There are just three episodes that are a little on the weak side. So, if you're a big stooge fan who likes Shemp, then this DVD is right for you.

Shemp on DVD, and it's about time!
Shemp Howard proudly makes his DVD premiere with The Three Stooges with three of his best comedies: "Fright Night" (Shemp's 1st Three Stooges comedy), "Mummy's Dummies" and "Shivering Sherlocks." These three shorts alone are worth the purchase price!!! As a bonus, we're treated to two other Shemp favorites: "Hokus Pokus" and "The Ghost Talks." The title short, "Spook Louder", features Curly Howard as a member of the comedy team. Unfortunately, "Spook Louder" is not among the Stooge' best work, although it does have a few funny moments and costars Charles Middleton (Flash Gordon's Ming the Merciless).

Only one Curly short included
Although the cover of the Spook Louder DVD shows Curly, it is in fact the only episode with Curly in it, the rest are all with Shemp. This DVD only contains six shorts whereas the last Columbia Stooge DVD, All the World's a Stooge, had seven. While this is still a must have for Stooge fans, people that don't like Shemp might want to pass on this one. The shorts on this are: Spook Louder, Mummy's Dummies, Shivering Sherlocks, The Ghost Talks, Hokus Pokus, and Fright Night
