Curiosidades

The Galloping Ghost is a 1931 American pre-Code Mascot serial film co-directed by B. Reeves Eason and Benjamin H. Kline. The title is the nickname of the star, real life American football player Red Grange. Serial historian Raymond William Stedman lists Lon Chaney Jr. as appearing in Ghost in a small uncredited part as a henchman, but this has never been verified.

Production

Grange received this starring role thanks to his business manager, and theater owner, Frank Zambrino. The serial took three weeks to film and Grange earned $4,500 overall.

Director B. Reeves Eason was reportedly fired during filming and replaced by the uncredited Benjamin H. Kline.

This serial was filmed at a time before "stuntmen did mostly everything" which meant that Grange had to do a lot of his own stunts.
