The Haunted House



The 1921 silent film The Haunted House would be called a short today at 22 minutes, but in its time was a feature film. Buster Keaton confronts ghosts, skeletons, and a murderous chair that are an attempt to cover up a real-life crime, one that Keaton is blamed for. There's plenty of physical comedy that makes up for the lack of dialogue.
