Watch The Haunted House For Free

That was an excellent one.

Excellent but underrated film

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I saw The Haunted House for the first time in about a year and a half and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. For awhile, I would have listed it as one of Buster's middle-tier efforts with its strange structure, but all of a sudden, the Kool Aid kicked in and I was spellbound. This is one of Buster's finest short format efforts and it deserves better appreciation.One could argue the structure is flawed: the first half features Buster as a bank employee dealing with an attempted robbery and then the second half as him in the eponymous haunted house, where he saves the day after being initially spooked by the faux ghosts, misplaced opera singers, and especially the trick staircase. The two act format hearkens back to the Arbuckle days in the sense that when one setting exhausts its comic possibility, the players simply move on to another one; however, the difference is that here there is an actual reason for the switch in the story. The seemingly haunted house is the hideout of counterfeiters and thieves. Keaton, the girl he loves, the villains, and some hapless actors all end up in the house in a way which feels plausible enough for us to buy it.And of course, the gags and stunts are clever, surreal, and surprising. On the chance if you've never seen the picture, I do not want to spoil a one of them. The more I see the film, the better it becomes. I adore it and would list it among my favorite short films of all time.

I expected this Buster Keaton short be very funny, just imagining his comedy and a haunted house scenario. However, it really isn't a haunted house story and the fun doesn't really start until about halfway through this 21-minute film.Until them, we get a long gag scene with Buster as a bank teller and getting glue all over many of the dollar bills. It's so-so humor and not what we are waiting for - some haunted house fun.The real fun part of the film is only the last five minutes and, frankly, I've seen funnier spooky stuff from The Three Stooges. The best "bit "of the entire movie might be the dream sequence in the final minute where Buster climbs his "Stairway To Heaven."

This is one of MANY shorts that buster Keaton made over his long career. None of them were intended as deep entertainment but contained a lot of funny low-brow humor--full of pratfalls galore! Well, this one is certainly no different.Buster is a bank teller who is accused of cheating the bank and having passed forged money. The interminably long scene involving glue and money, by the way, is the absolutely WORST part of the film--it goes on way too long. However, once he is fired and accidentally goes to the haunted house (how he knew to go there since it was the crooks' hideout is amazing), the film picks up a lot of speed. The fun intensifies as the crooks try very hard to scare Buster. When he quickly figures that the ghosts are fake, then the crooks try to kill him! Watch the film to find out the cute conclusion and have a few laughs along the way.

A clumsy bank employee, the bank manager and his daughter, some bank robbers, some police and the Daredevil Theatrical Troupe, who've just been booed off stage during their production of Faust, all collide in a Haunted House which the bank robbers use as their hideout.So many priceless moments, some good laugh-out-louders, and 100% great fun. Another really great short comedy from Buster Keaton.Highlights: as usual, the ending! Buster running past camera, looking directly into it, the whole glue sequence, the self-referential theatrical production and more i can't remember right now... Not that i've ever seen a Keaton movie i didn't like, but i recommend this one too!
