Fright to the Finish is a Halloween-themed Popeye the Sailor cartoon from Famous Studios. It was directed by Al Eugster and William B. Pettergill. It features the voices of Jack Mercer as Popeye, Jackson Beck as Bluto and Mae Questel as Olive Oyl. It was released in the United States on August 27, 1954. It is a partial remake of the 1939 Popeye cartoon Ghosks is the Bunk.
In common with many cartoons based around the character of Popeye the Sailor, the plot involves Popeye and his bearded burly rival Bluto competing for the attentions of the woman Olive Oyl. Bluto soon gains the advantage but Popeye wins out in the end. Unusually for a Popeye cartoon, at no point does the hero gain superhuman strength by eating a can of spinach.
It is Halloween night and Olive Oyl is reading aloud to Popeye and Bluto from a book of ghost stories. Neither of the men are interested in the stories and both of them want the other to leave because they each want to spend some time alone with Olive Oyl.
The film is now in the public domain in the United states.
The full radio play The War of the Worlds, originally broadcast on October 30, 1938
