Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Scared Stiff is a 1953 comedy-horror film directed by George Marshall, starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.Basically a remake of The Ghost Breakers, the story centers around a singer named Larry (Martin) and his clumsy best friend Myron (Lewis) fleeing a mistaken murder rap by boarding a cruise ship to Cuba. They meet a pretty heiress named Mary (Lizabeth Scott), who's inherited a haunted castle on a Cuban island, and Larry and Myron must protect her from various spooks waiting for her there.Carmen Miranda (in her last screen role) appears as a ship's entertainer named Carmelita Castinha. Norman Lear is credited with writing "additional dialogue" for the film. | |

Mistaken for Murderer: Larry flees the country thinking he shot one of Shorty's men to death, only to find out that the murder weapon was a different caliber, so it couldn't have been him. | |
