Remember watching this silly little comedy from your childhood? It may not have aged all that well, but is still goofy, good fun. Okay, so you can spot the stunt double, and Don Knotts's twitches are a little more obvious. Still, fans of his familiar routines will be comforted in knowing they can again watch their skinny underdog hero solve the ghost story while winning the prettiest girl in town. Knotts plays a trembling typesetter hoping to become a reporter by cracking the mystery of the local haunted house. To do so, he must spend a night there. Good-hearted, non-threatening, and completely gooey, this is the equivalent of light-weight cinematic junk food. -- Rochelle O'Gorman

 old favourite September 22, 2008
This movie really takes me back to my younger days when movies were simply funny and uncomplicated. Still loved it. It holds up well. Don Knotts was one of a kind.
Who is the real ghost? September 11, 2008
I think this movie is one of Don Knotts standards. It is typical of the nervous type of character he portrays so well. He comes across as hyperactive, afraid of no one, but when the crunch comes he is there shaking all over, eyes wide and you can almost see his hair standing on end. A brilliant movie from a romantic era of movie making.
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken August 26, 2008
My movie was in excellent condition and it arrived as promised. I will buy again from this seller.
spooky fun August 4, 2008
This is a Don Knotts classic. The idea for "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" was suggested by Andy Griffith. The Andy episode in which the "old Rimshaw house" was the central focus was the basis for the movie. Knotts is at his shakiest best as Luther Heggs, a timid typesetter at the local newspaper who, on a dare, spends the night at the "haunted" Simmons murder mansion. Needless to say chaos ensues. When he tries to prove just how haunted the old house is to the townspeople, nothing happens the way it did the night he spent there. But, with the help of Alma Parker (Joan Staley) Luther is able to get to the bottom of the mystery once and for all.
People from "The Andy Griffith Show" make appearances. From Hal Smith (Otis) playing, what else, the town drunk, to Everett Greenbaum who wrote for the Andy show as well as one of the writers of the movie, shouting "Atta boy, Luther!" "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" is great family fun.
