Lonesome Ghosts is a 1937 Disney animated cartoon featuring the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy trio as members of the agency “Ajax Ghost Exterminators” (often described later as precursors of the Ghostbusters).
The screaming sound heard in the beginning of this cartoon short was later used on Zorro in its fourth 1957 episode “The Ghost of the Mission”. It appropriately aired on Halloween. Mickey and his best friends are hired by telephone to evict a number of ghosts from a haunted house. Unknown to them they were hired by the ghosts themselves, four lonesome ghosts who are bored because nobody has visited the house they are haunting for a long time. They wish to play tricks on the mortals. And they do through a series of inventive gags, but by the end the trio has managed to scare the ghosts out of the house when flour accidentaly spilled over the trio.
As Donald observes “So you can’t take it, you big sissies!“. But Goofy offers what is considered the short’s most memorable quote while warily looking around him: “I’m brave but I’m careful.” Another Goofy quip is “I ain’t scared of no ghosts!”, a line repeated in Ray Parker, Jr.’s hit “Ghostbusters”, the theme song of the 1984 film of the same name.

The Mad Doctor, Disney 1933

It would be hard to find a better Halloween cartoon than this vintage Walt Disney Mickey Mouse classic.
The influence of the early Universal horror films like Frankenstein is evident in this frantic and frightening animated adventure. The Mad Doctor might as well be Frankenstein considering what he tries to do to poor Pluto. Skeleton gags abound!
Enjoy!
