This movie is absolutely hilarious! Our guys get sent to a boy’s camp, now you can tell this is a low budget film, why is it that there are no other boys at this camp, except for the East Side Kids?  So our guys are riding in this truck, which makes a pit stop in town. Muggs, Glimpy, and Danny go into an ice cream shop and start hitting on the girl that works behind the counter.

“Listen Ice Cream chick, don’t go out with Muggs, ’cause he’s too short, and he’s the dumbest of the three. Forget about Glimpy, ’cause he’s the ugliest, and the silliest. Danny is your best bet ’cause he’s got some sense, and he’s the best looking one.”

Now in the middle of the night, Muggs, sneaks away from the camp to go on his date with Ice Cream Chick, which is interesting since I don’t ever remember her ever saying she’d go out with him. Hmmm. She must have said yes when the camera guy wasn’t lookin’. Anyway, Muggs set out on his date, and Glimpy and Danny follow behind him, saying they have a date with her too.

What? Ice Cream Chick must really be bored and desperate, what woman in her right mind would go out with three broke fools? Anyway, Muggs sneaking out causes a chain reaction, now all the guys quickly get dressed, and chase after him. Wow, this is really gonna be an interesting date. Well, not really, ’cause the guys get lost and wind up in a cemetery, where the trigger happy caretaker takes a shot at Pee-Wee, wounding him. Now don’t panic, he can’t be hurt too bad, ’cause I don’t see one ounce of blood.

Wait, I almost forgot to tell you that a mad killer is also running around the town, now we don’t know who it is yet, but some people think its Mr. Magician (Bela Lugosi), who takes up refuge inside of an abandoned house. Now remember, no one knows that he’s a magician yet, I guess this is to keep you on the edge of your seats.

Now our guys run into Mr. Magician, and suddenly, the abandoned house turns more into a haunted freak show that will keep you laughing for a good 60 minutes. Now while the guys are running around, acting like chickens with the heads cut off, I’m sitting back in my chair, trippin’ out! I really don’t want to spoil it for you, by telling you scene by scene of all the crazy stuff that happens………Well, I guess I can let you in on one scene in particular.

Scruno (my favorite East Side Kid), get’s split up from the rest of the group inside the house, and ends up in this room. He lights a candle, then a huge white spider drops down in front of him. OMG, I’M ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED! What? That is scary, well it didn’t bother Scruno, but it sure as hell bothered me! See, I’m an arachnophobe, and I’m scared of any spider/creepy-crawler that’s bigger than my fingernail. Since that accounts for the majority of insects out there, I guess I’m screwed.

Okay, back to this, Scruno shoos the spider away, no big deal for him, then this tobacco can that’s sitting on the table starts moving, by itself! Scruno tells it to stop bothering him, ’cause he doesn’t smoke, but it doesn’t want to be alone and keeps following him. Eventually the top of the can comes, off, a skeleton head pops out, and Scruno heads for the hills!

Well, you really have to see it in order to get a good laugh out of it. Now all the guys act like total idiots as they run throughout this house, trying to get away from Mr. Magician, even though it turns out that he’s not the killer. Who is it you say? You’ll have to watch the film to find out, and I’m sure you won’t have a problem pointing him out since they’re not a lot of characters in the movie to begin with. Oh yeah, Natalie Wood is in this too, but since her nurse role was boring and a waste of a character, I won’t bother talking about her, and end my review right here!
