Featured review
FROM THE DESK OF J. GIGGLES FLINTSTONE?
10 Stars for being OUTRAGEOUS.
One of the best written episodes, and with a spooky slant, for all us big kids who grew up on Fred and Barney. Always.
Fred is notified that he must spend the night in the creepy mansion of his late Uncle Giggles in order to inherit his fortune! The mansion, shaped like a skull? -- should tell you something. If you're a movie buff, the plot is very similar to the LAUREL AND HARDY MURDER CASE (1930), which finds Stan and Ollie spending the night in a haunted house to inherit millions, replete with some insane characters.
METV runs it a lot during their "Comedy Classics" segment at night.
Fred and Barney go it alone, and for good reason. Should Fred NOT make it through the night, the estate is to be divided up by Giggle's homicidal staff; Creepers, the butler, Potrock and Wormstone, the gardner. By the way, the lawyer handling the estate is called Blackstone? These guys are a creative bunch, who keep Fred and Barney OCCUPIED?
The crazy weapons are a must.
Excellent writing on the part of Herbert Finn, who wrote a ton of episodes for the HONEYMOONERS, also JOHNNY QUEST. And don't Fred and Barney kinda' remind you of Ralph and Norton? Creepers is voiced by noneother Hal Smith from the ANDY GRIFFTH SHOW.
Classic TWIST ending.... and did you think it would end any other way? SEASON 5 EPISODE 8 remastered color. Big thank you to METV.
