The Haunted House (1921)

Buster Keaton is a genius. Was that ever a question? In The Haunted House (1921),  the plot is convoluted, yet entirely beside the point. The reason to watch this gem of a short film is Buster Keaton himself, hilariously throwing himself around completely insane situations. Get this: Buster Keaton is a bank worker who spills glue on everything and spends a good chunk of the movie being covered in glue and money. Also there are robbers. And theatre actors. And a haunted house that's not really haunted. And counterfeit money. Can't make sense of it? Who cares! I was cracking up watching Keaton do his thing. "The Great Stone Face" was a legend for a reason. You can watch this on Hulu Plus or YouTube, where you can find any number of his short films. I can't wait to check out more!
