“The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini” is a 1966 American horror-comedy film directed by Don Weis. The film features a mix of horror and beach party elements, blending two popular genres of the time. The story revolves around a young heiress named Cecily, played by Susan Hart, who is mourning the recent death of her millionaire uncle. Her greedy lawyer, Reginald Ripper, portrayed by Basil Rathbone, conspires to steal her inheritance by driving her insane. To do so, he enlists the help of a goofy biker, Chuck, played by Tommy Kirk, and a reluctant ghost, Bobby, played by Boris Karloff, who returns from the afterlife to protect Cecily from harm.

While Cecily is at her uncle’s beachfront mansion, the characters get involved in a series of comedic and spooky situations, including a surfing contest, a mummy that comes to life, and the titular ghost wearing an invisible bikini.

  1. 33:50 ~ Dude,😂 I had an Aussie in my cab, up in Vail, back in the 80s, who claimed their Aussie dollars could not be torn apart(!): "if you can tear this Aussie 20 dollar note in half, I'll give you an intact 20 dollar note."

    I grabbed it ~~~~~ and tore it in half with no difficulty at all(?). He was dumbfounded ~ and I laughed.

  4. Someone with experience might prove me wrong, but it seems like our 'ghost with the invisible bikini' is a very early "green screen" editing sequence (throughout the film). That is/was Susan Hart, wife of James H. Nicholson (one of the heads of AIP); blonde wig and a black velvet bikini, filmed in front of a black velvet backdrop 😮😊 (per Wikipedia).

    I'm trying without success to come up with an earlier example?

  8. One of many 1960's movies that combined California beach culture, motorcycles, teens with raging libidos, rock n' roll, veteran actors from 1930's horror films. And most had silly titles like this one and far-fetched story lines. Looking back almost 6 decades now they are pretty tame. Great fun watching these. Thank you "Creature Features" for keeping me entertained.

  9. Hi Everyone. My name is Nicole and that was my voicemail! I waited so long to do this and I hope everyone who heard it liked it!

    (please be nice – if you missed it, Nicole, my daughter, is only 7. And no, I don't let her watch the movies, just the awesome and fun cast!) 😊
