The Living Ghost

Nick Trayne, a former private investigator who now earns a living as a (sort of) psychic, is asked to uncover why a wealthy banker has disappeared. When the missing man reappears, a new mystery arises: who has subjected him to the brain-altering procedure that’s turned him into a living ghost—and why?

The banker’s plucky secretary, Billie Hilton, teams up with Nick to uncover the dastardly plot in this kooky classic, and the pair wisecrack their way through a dark and stormy night on their way to love. Later released as “A Walking Nightmare,” the film combines whodunnit, horror and the rapid-fire dialogue typical of romcoms of this era. The result is an air-popped take on a classic recipe.
