Popeye the Sailor and his arch enemy Bluto fight over Olive Oyl on Halloween. Animation by Al Eugster and William B. Pattengill. Music by Winston Sharples. Produced in 1954.
On Halloween night, Popeye and Bluto take turns scaring Olive Oyl to death, while making her believe it’s the other one doing it. This has some funny gags, including “vanishing cream” that does just what you expect it to do in a cartoon, but mostly it’s pretty ordinary.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: ***.
In this, Bluto and Popeye are (what else) fighting for the attention of Olive Oyl. Since Oyl gets quite scared easily, Bluto gets the idea to scare Oyl out of her wits when Popeye and Oyl are by themselves. That way, he can trick Oyl into believing that it?s Popeye pulling off these tricks. When that works, Popeye gets his revenge.
Pretty good, with some nice sight gags.
