Lucky Ghost(1942)

An all-black horror comedy starring Mantan Moreland and sometimes partner (and straight man) F.E.

Mantan and Miller win a house-cum-casino in a craps game, only to discover that the deceased former owners aren't too pleased that their old home is being used for "jitterbugging, jiving, and hullaballooing". I hate hullaballooing. The ghosts decide to scare everyone off by opening doors and windows, pulling out chairs, even playing the drums.
