The Ghost Breaker is a 1922 American silent horror comedy film about haunted houses and ghosts. It was produced by Famous Players-Lasky and distributed through Paramount Pictures.[1] It was directed by Alfred E. Green and starred Wallace Reid in one of his last screen roles. The story, based on the 1909 play The Ghost Breaker by Paul Dickey and Charles W. Goddard, had been released in 1914 (bearing the same name) and directed by Cecil B. DeMille and Oscar Apfel. The film would be made again in the sound era as The Ghost Breakers (1940) with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard and as Scared Stiff (1953) starring Jerry Lewis.[2]
