- TriviaFirst credited film role for Ava Gardner.
- GoofsIn the credits, Bobby Stone is billed as playing "Dave," Bill Bates is billed as playing "Sleepy," and Billy Benedict is billed as playing "Benny." In actuality, Stone plays the role of "Rocky," and it's Bates who plays "Dave" (a character who is, indeed, defined by his sleepiness). Benedict indeed plays Benny, but several times he's called "Skinny," his character name in other movies.

Featured review
Ghosts On The Loose
I've tried to like this film, but at best it's merely tolerable. I thought that there would be more to it. There are basically two parts to the film: 1)Ava Gardner and Rick Vallin's wedding 2) At the two country houses. The first half of "Ghosts on the Loose" is a total gyp. It's got nothing to do with ghosts (neither does the second half) and is frankly quite boring. The only pluses in this half of the film are the moments with young Ava and her fiancé/husband Rick. The second half of the film is a let-down. The East Side Kids arrive in the country and spend many dull moments redecorating what they think is the honeymoon couples house. They move furniture around while the most awful, dreary canned background music is played (the same awful music that was used in "The Ape Man" and other Monogram films). By the time a printing press starts getting moved around from house to house this film almost becomes a sleep inducing bore. What a shame! If Monogram had used better background music I would have added a star to my rating. Lugosi has very little time on screen here. Like others have said "Spooks Run Wild" is the better of the two Lugosi-East Side Kids outings...much better!
