A FUNNY FRIGHT FOR FRIDAY

Van Beuren Tom & Jerry

Hello Scared Silly fans! I'm hard at work chipping away at my review of the short, "The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case" but still need additional time to complete it (hopefully I'll have it posted by next week).

In the meantime, I wanted to share some laughs from another of yesteryear's daffy duos, the animated comedy team, Tom & Jerry. NO - not the famous, Oscar® winning cat-and-mouse pair but an earlier team that frolicked across 1930s movie screens courtesy of the Van Beuren Studios (when the films were later released to TV and the 8mm home movie market in the 1950s the characters' names were changed to Dick & Larry to avoid confusion with the aforementioned feline-rodent twosome). Here's their public domain cartoon, "Magic Mummy."

HAPPY HAUNTING!
