Haunted Honeymoon Reviews

Wilder and Radner, stars of a popular radio show called "Manhattan Mystery Theater," have just gotten married. Before departing on their honeymoon, the couple learns that Wilder's elderly aunt (DeLuise in drag) has made him the sole beneficiary of her new will. If Wilder should die, however, the money will be split among the surviving family members. On their honeymoon Wilder and Radner wind up at Wilder's spooky old family mansion, where they find that many of his greedy relatives have assembled. During their stay it becomes apparent that someone is trying to kill Wilder. An innocuous comedy chiller, HAUNTED HONEYMOON isn't very chilling and, worse yet, isn't very funny. Wilder, in his fourth directorial effort, has an engaging idea that unfortunately no longer works. Abbott-and-Costello or Hope-and-Goddard are only fun to watch today because of those stars. The movies were vehicles but, all in all, not very good films. Audiences today have, for better or worse, become far too sophisticated to accept this film's whimsy.
