Ghosks is the Bunk is a 1939 animated short starring Popeye, Olive Oyl and Bluto. Olive reads a ghost story to Popeye and Bluto. Bluto leaves and rigs a haunted house and lures them to it. But they quickly discover him and, even better, a can of invisible paint, and they get the better of him.

Voice Cast

Title

Ghosks is the Bunk is the original title, but was mistakenly changed to "Ghosk is the Bunk" when re-colored years later. This mistake came from tracing over the original title card.

Releases

The black-and-white version of this short is available on DVD on Popeye the Sailor: 1938-1940, Volume 2.

The re-colored version of the short was shown on TBS from 1987 to 1992 as a segment of the Tom & Jerry Halloween Special.
