Review of Boo!

Boo! (1932)
1/10
"It's Dracula...the guy who invented necking!"
27 July 2020
"Boo" is an incredibly annoying short film from Universal Studios. It consists of clips from "Nosferatu" (1922) as well as "Frankentein" (1931) and a fast-talking jerk of a narrator constantly makes what he thinks are witty comments. They aren't! In fact, most grate on your nerves and watching the short is nothing short of miserable. Don't say I didn't warn you!

By the way, I have no idea why clips from "Nosferatu" were used instead of Universal Studio's "Dracula" (the same folks who made "Frankenstein" AND this short). Why use the clips from the German Expressionist "Nosferatu" instead? I have no idea...perhaps Bela Lugosi threatened to sue them or punch Carl Laemmle (the studio head) in the nose if he included clips from "Dracula"! And, after seeing this short film, I wish somebody would have done this! Yes, it's THAT bad!
