Mack Sennett’s *Ghost Parade* blends comedy and mystery centered on supernatural events at Mosby Manor. The film prioritizes atmospheric mystery and comedic timing over challenging social hierarchies or complex multi-layered narratives. Produced within the traditional studio system of the early 20th century, the work relies on broad slapstick clichés. The lack of documented diverse representation reflects the era's focus on genre-standard entertainment rather than social subversion. Ultimately, the film serves as a product of its time, adhering to the homogeneous casting and social frameworks prevalent in 1931.
