GUMBY- "Haunted Hot Dog" (1967)

 How's about some Gumby on this Weird Wednesday Countdown To Halloween?
I put this little piece together, it looks like Gumby is getting ready to play golf on some super strange graveyard golf course, and it makes about as much sense as anything else in the world these days!

 "Haunted Hot Dog" is without a doubt a great title, but just like in The Stooge's "Fright Night," the title is a lot spookier than any of the action!

 This Gumby short starts off with a stray dog stealing some sausages from the local butcher shop!

 The dog books on down the road with the butcher in hot pursuit and heads to the outskirts of town!

 Meanwhile, our heroes Gumby and Pokey are out for an afternoon cruise in the country!

 Just like the last time I used The Firesign Theatre's 'empty' gag, the E does not stand for Excellent on a gas gauge!

 This is what I saw when I looked at that gas gauge still!

 Luckily there's a house nearby that might either have some gas or at least a phone!

 Pokey's not so sure, but Gumby opens the door after nobody answers to their knocks!

 Hmmmmm, the place seems abandoned!

 The dog shows up and starts making a racket!

 When they hear it, Gumby and Pokey get real scared, and end up making some noise themselves!

Which, in turn, scares the dog, so they all scared each other and end up comforting each other at the same time!

 Gumby questions the origin of the hot dogs!

The moral of the story?
It's a Hollow Weenie!!
