Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Console best movie i've ever seen.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

bkoganbing Only an incredibly stupid piece of script that allows Buster Crabbe to walk into an outlaw trap, though he does break away prevents this from being one of the best of PRC series. His Brother's Ghost has Al St. John playing Fuzzy Q. Jones and his brother Andy. Andy dies though he takes his time doing it, expiring from a gunshot wound. But not before he sets up a plan to trap the outlaws. I haven't seen this long running a death since the serial Tim Tyler's Luck where Al Shean takes two chapters to take the big trip.Andy Jones maybe with the angels, but nobody's quite sure of that as Fuzzy starts being seen around and scaring the pants off the members of a gang trying to drive homesteaders out of the valley. Veteran western villain Charles King heads the gang which has some local so called respectable community members as part of their plot. Of course Buster Crabbe takes care of them all in the end with his usual alacrity and dispatch.If you're a fan of Al St. John's slap saddle humor than this is the film for you.

classicsoncall You're never sure what you're getting into with these Western ghost stories, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. This one has some of the elements you would expect, with Fuzzy St. John portraying a pair of brothers, one of whom is shot and killed, then replaced by his sibling who comes to the aid of hero Bill Carson (Buster Crabbe). The central plot has bad guy Thorne (Charlie King) night raiding local sharecroppers in order to take over their property. Pretty standard for these horse operas, and it's amazing how many times you found Charlie King in the exact same role as the chief heavy.Since all of these B Westerns were made to appeal to the matinée youngster, it's no surprise the film makers would try to get some mileage out of the ghost angle every now and then. Fuzzy chimes in with some fade-ins and fade-outs at the cabin window of the bad guys, and even gets to do a white sheet gimmick. Fuzzy probably ad-libbed a lot of his routine, and it's not surprising to see Crabbe cracking up on screen from time to time over his antics.What I don't get is how the film makers came up with some of their credibility defying stuff, like digging up the grave of Andy Jones to see if he was still in there, and being satisfied, filling it back in again. You think anyone would really do that? I don't know, maybe; but it just seems creepy to me.And how about that scene near the end when Thorne shoots Bentley (Arch Hall Sr.) through a closed window without shattering it? I mean, Crabbe and Fuzzy were standing right there, couldn't they have figured out that something was wrong with that scenario? This kind of stuff happens all the time in these era pictures and is one of the reasons I get such a kick out of watching them, more so than the actual story as the case may be.There's one other goofy thing to keep an eye out for - check out the scene when Fuzzy is shooting at the bad guys from behind a fence post. It's a cartoon moment in which his entire body is invisible until he steps out from behind the post. It's a head scratcher I've never seen before in a Forties Western flick, but now I won't be surprised if I ever see it again.I'm still on the lookout for a Western themed ghost story that flat out goes for the comic element in a big way instead of bits thrown in every now and then as they're done here. Something on the order of the Bowery Boys in "Ghosts on the Loose" or "Spooks Run Wild". For now though, if you like this kind of stuff, check out Fuzzy in another haunted Western flick, 1947's "Ghost Town Renegades". He teams up in that one with Lash LaRue.

Joe Bridge I really like this fairly short little movie. There's always something interesting about old comic "haunted" Westerns (even more-so when it isn't a "real" haunting). Al St. John effortlessly steals the show from Buster Crabbe and the absurdity of supposed twins (living away from each other) having identical beards doesn't really spoil it either.I also really like the titles and credits; the hand turning the pages (as in "Cat Ballou") of a big, interesting book, and that quick fumble of the title page. (I guess they could only do one take, heh, but it looks like they still practiced for a while.)The plot basically involves Al St. John in two roles, playing both Andy Jones and his twin brother who comes in to take over after Andy is shot, who plays the vengeful ghost angle rather amusingly against Thorn and his men, who are killing the sharecroppers. Fully enjoyable, even though much of the spoken line continuity makes little sense. For example, the brother having to be told that he is to play Andy's ghost after he already scares off two of Thorn's men by merely walking into the room and saying "boo", and an odd line about convincing them that Andy is "still alive" (contrary to the ghost angle) and the idea of the somewhat bumbling Andy having more ability to organize than many men working together (which is actually why Andy called Billy in in the first place).Some chair and wardrobe busting up during a fight in the final third. It wouldn't be Western without that.The music is pretty good as well and fits just right, and there's a better than average (and highly amusing) feel-good ending.Funny lines (what it SOUNDS like to me, anyway):Doc (seeming to partially forget his lines): "We didn't expect - all these...mer-ders...Thorn."Thorn: "Well what DID you expect? You hired me to get rid of the sharecroppers and I'm doing it."Doc: "Aw, I goes it's all-what (all-right?)..."There's one part near the end that almost made me fall out of my chair laughing; somehow a couple people "see" that it isn't really Andy Jones, even though it is the SAME actor, looking exactly the same. Heh."You better talk or that mug of yours is going to look like a spoiled custard pie..." Hahaha.8/10

rsoonsa This film is one of a series starring Buster Crabbe as Billy Carson, a rancher who spends a good portion of his time attempting to better the lives of sharecroppers and others who run afoul of varying murderous plotters; in this instance, a friend of Carson is killed and replaced by his twin brother, causing consternation amidst the villains who are convinced that the twin is a vengeful ghost. Most of this short (54 min.) work consists of two small groups of extraordinarily confident horsemen who canter about, chasing and shooting at each other, in essentially non-stop fashion; one's attention becomes drawn to spotting the interchangeability of the good and bad guys......nothing else here warrants a viewer's concentration.
