The Ghost Talks
The Ghost Talks is a 1949 comedy horror short subject, directed by Jules White. The stars are the American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard). It is the 113th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
Plot
The Stooges are moving men assigned to move furniture out of the haunted Smorgasbord Castle. All goes well at first, outside of a few scares, until a clanking suit of armor inhabited by the ghost of Peeping Tom (voiced by Phil Arnold) scares the hapless Stooges. Tom manages to convince them that he is, in fact, a friendly spirit. After finally gaining their trust, Tom tells the trio his origin story of watching Lady Godiva (Nancy Saunders), only to get a pie in the face. In turn, his ghost is cursed and trapped inside the suit of armor. He has been trapped for a thousand years.
