The Plot…

Larry, Shemp and Moe’s babies refuse to go to sleep until they are told a scary story.  So the boys tell the tale of three furniture movers hired to empty out a spooky old castle.  A suit of armor contains a spirit that doesn’t want to leave.  Hijinks follow…

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

If you’ve seen The Ghost Talks (1949) starring The Three Stooges, then you’ve basically seen Creeps.  For the new version they added scenes to the front and back end with the Stooges are interacting with themselves as babies.  The Peeping Tom/Lady Godiva subplot has been dropped.  There’s still a haunted suit of armor, but no Lady Gadiva to be seen.  Red Skeleton still makes an appearance.

Creeps earns 3 of 5 stars.
