The Plot
Farina has become very superstitious, going to great lengths to avoid black cats and walking under ladders. He wears a medallion around his neck that he claims gives him Voodoo powers!
Palms Neighborhood Filming Locations: A 1928 Los Angeles Time Capsule
Spook Spoofing gives us a rare view of the Palms branch of the Los Angeles Public Library that used to be located in Woodbine Park between Motor Avenue and Vinton Avenue. The park remains today, but the library building is no longer there. In the movie, it's right behind those beautiful palm trees that used to line this part of Woodbine Street.
Our journey back in time also takes us to Motor Avenue, particularly the 3300 and 3400 blocks, with a very clear look at the big house that used to be located on the hill at the Irene Street intersection. This home was prominently featured in the 1932 Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie
