Bob Hope got his big screen break paired with Paulette Goddard in a pair of horror comedies. In THE CAT AND THE CANARY, scaredy cat Hope is heiress Goddard's only protection in a haunted house with a mad killer on the loose. In THE GHOST BREAKERS, Hope and Goddard take on ghosts and zombies in a haunted castle on a Cuban island.
