Walter Lantz

Pete&apos;s Haunted House

A Halloween Cartoon

When Walter Lantz spots Pete the Pup reading a book about ghosts, he decides to give him a scare for the season in this amusing mixed live action-cartoon short released a couple of weeks before Halloween.

Hand-drawn animation was the most expensive form of movie-making because every frame needed to be created by a series of artists. Obviously it was cheaper to have a cameraman and a live actor. That is why the earliest motion-picture animation - Blackton&apos;s LIGHTNING SKETCHES was mixed with the artist, and why the mixed form lasted. By the middle of the 1920s, the Fleischers&apos; Koko series were among the best and most popular cartoons, so it was hardly surprising that Bray would attempt to emulate them, using ambitious Walter Lantz and his creation Dinky Doodle.

Pete the Pup - Dinky does not appear in this one - would linger in Lantz&apos; mind and be revived in the early 1930s for s fine series of cRtoons, when Lantz was in charge of cartoons for Universal
