Not really scary, just confusing

Warning: Spoilers
I can understand 60 year old movies not being scary by todays standards, but this really isn't a horror movie as it is one of those kooky detective stories.

The plot is, a woman going through mental problems is being stalked by a ghost....or something. All I know is it seems everyone in the movie from Bela Lugosi, to the maid and to the midget was trying to do her in. The only 2 on her side was the reporter dude and the dumb detective.

First of all, the movie was supposed to establish the main character telling the story after she dies, but half the scenes have her not even in the picture so how could that be a "recap" of what she personally saw? Also, the very end was supposed to establish she left her first husband in the hands of nazi's but his spirit inhabited a scarf, um...yeah. Its hard to follow the plot because the characters range from weird to dumb and no one drops dead even though someone attacks the doctor twice. Bela Lugosi can't even save this one no matter how brilliant he portrayed his character.

The highlight of the movie was Indigo the midget. Yes, we even got midgets in this one. Like I said earlier, its more or less one of those old detective stories with a horror twist and if into that then check it out.
