Oliver the Eighth

Barbershop owners Stan and Ollie answer an ad in the newspaper from a wealthy widow looking for a husband. Ollie only mails in his response and is invited to the widow's mansion. Stan discovers his unmailed letter and insists on tagging along. At the mansion, the widow's creepy butler informs them that the woman is crazy. She was once jilted by an Oliver and now her hobby is marrying Olivers and then slitting their throats. Now the boys must figure out how to escape.

This was hilarious. It makes you understand, in an instant, why children reflexively scream when they're taken to get their hair cut for the first time, as well as why all the really smart people, like Pink Floyd in their heyday, always grew their hair so long. As well, it should make all prospective parents think twice before naming their sons Oliver.
