As funny as Stan and Ollie were, they had a morbid streak...

...often ending their comedies in grotesque style...

...which one might consider more nightmarish than funny!

Laurel & Hardy in "Hollywood Party" (1934) with Lupe Velez (video)

"Hollywood Party" (1934) is a hodge-podge of loosely-linked comedy sketches.

Many contemporary comics appear including Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

Although on loan to MGM, their Hal Roach Studios comedy style is in full effect.

The highlight is Stan and Ollie's tit-for-tat battle with a feisty Lupe Velez.

Stan Laurel Turns Into A Monster In "Dr. Pyckle And Mr. Pryde" (1925) (video)

Before teaming up with Oliver Hardy...

...Stan Laurel did a solo series of silent comedies.

"Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pryde" spoofs the Jekyll and Hyde story...
...particularly the 1920 John Barrymore version.

Fortunately, this "Hyde" is more interested in mischief than murder.

Our Gang's "Pete the Pup" guest stars.

The original ending seems to be lost, as the existing one is rather abrupt.

Stanley reads a letter to Ollie from his sweetheart Jeanie...

...in which she informs him that he's being dumped.

Stan's nonplussed, but Ollie reacts with melodramatic angst.

...and then ends with a sudden, hilarious burst of slapstick.
