Ghosks is the Bunk is a 1939 animated short starring Popeye, Olive Oyl and Bluto. Olive reads a ghost story to Popeye and Bluto. Bluto leaves and rigs a haunted house and lures them to it. But they quickly discover him and, even better, a can of invisible paint, and they get the better of him.
Ghosks is the Bunk is the original title, but was mistakenly changed to "Ghosk is the Bunk" when re-colored years later. This mistake came from tracing over the original title card.
The black-and-white version of this short is available on DVD on Popeye the Sailor: 1938-1940, Volume 2 .
The re-colored version of the short was shown on TBS from 1987 to 1992 as a segment of the Tom & Jerry Halloween Special.

In 1933, Max and Dave Fleischer's Fleischer Studios, based in New York City, adapted Segar's characters into a series of theatrical cartoon shorts for Paramount Pictures. The plotlines in the animated cartoons tended to be simpler than those presented in the comic strips, and the characters slightly different. A villain, usually Bluto, makes a move on Popeye's "sweetie", Olive Oyl. The villain clobbers Popeye until he eats spinach, giving him superhuman strength. Thus empowered, Popeye makes short work of the villain.
