Pic of the Day: “Francis in the Haunted House”

Boo! Our pic for today is from Charles Lamont‘s Francis in the Haunted House (1956). Tim doesn’t have much to do but look menacing and open doors and gates. At least in this shot, with Helen Wallace and Mickey Rooney, he gets to indulge in some comedy. He thinks he’s seen a ghost.

Francis in the Haunted House
You will probably remember Helen Wallace in her uncredited role as the customer in search of humane bug powder in Sam Loomis’ hardware store who declares, “And I say, insect or man, death should always be painless,” in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960).
