A rare, eerie Halloween cartoon from Columbia

From combing through YouTube for more cartoons from Columbia/Screen Gems, I found this rare cartoon perfect for Halloween. Not much of a story, which is really about ghosts enjoying a good time in their haunted house, and a running gag involving a ghost bothering them at the front door. But it's still a good cartoon worthy of a 10 out of 10.

I was surprised that UB Iwerks, the man who had drawn Mickey Mouse, directed this cartoon. Also, this cartoon is made better by the talents of the great Mel Blanc. Overall, I enjoyed every aspect of this eerie Halloween cartoon. Of course, it can be enjoyed throughout the year as well.
