About
Synopsis
The Haunted House (1921) is a Buster Keaton silent short you can watch online on iFILM. Keaton plays a bank teller who, after a glue mishap and a staged robbery, lands inside a mansion with a very bad reputation.
Counterfeiters have rigged the place with mechanical scares — a staircase that flattens into a slide, furniture that crawls on its own — and a travelling theatre troupe drifts through in ghost sheets, rehearsing Faust. Nineteen minutes of pure acrobatics and gags that Keaton designed and performed himself, no stunt double and no safety net, the kind of work that built his silent-era legend. Co-directed by Edward F. Cline, Keaton's regular collaborator of the period. Stream The Haunted House (1921) online on iFILM.
