Weather


This is a terrific cartoon! One of the things that struck me as being original was having it take place during a blizzard.Generally speaking most movies or TV shows involving a haunted house take place at night but with no bad weather conditions.Sometimes they might have a rainstorm.But a snowstorm is indeed unique for a change.

Indeed it is, and I always wondered why they did it...I don't know how long it took to make a cartoon back then but it was released in theaters on Christmas Eve of 1937 so maybe that had someting to do with it or maybe they just decided to go with something different, but it works.

It may have been a set-up for the visual gag at the end which shows the ghosts' footprints in the snow as they run away.
