The Haunted House is a 1921 American two-reel silent comedy film starring Buster Keaton.

Unbeknownst to him, the manager of the bank and his gang are planning on pulling off a robbery and hiding in an old house that they have rigged up with booby traps and effects to make it appear to be haunted.

After Keaton has many encounters with the "ghosts" and the house's booby traps, he discovers the scam, and the manager is revealed as being behind the robbery.

Christopher Workman commented, "[The film] belongs to a different, more simplistic era of comedic storytelling.

Even in its day, there wasn't much original about it, given that haunted houses occupied by criminals had been a staple of the genre for nearly two decades already.
