The Ghost And Mr. Chicken

This movie has you laughing the moment Don Knotts walks into the scene and you don't stop laughing until the credits starts rolling

My brother gave me this movie as a gift that he taped onto a VHS many years ago. I came across it recently and thought I would check to see if I could find it on DVD. Of course I found it on Amazon. Watched it with my son and husband, a first for my son. He loved it. Laughed through the whole thing. What a great Halloween movie for kids to watch because it is not scary. It's more of a comedy. Don Knotts is hilarious in this. This movie will never get old. It is a classic. This is one that you keep in the collection.

a classic in great shape, prompt delivery. more than pleased!!! would highly recommend! thank you!!!

Like many of my generation, I grew up watching this movie many times, and becoming enamored of the comedic genius of Don Knotts. He's made a handful of enjoyable comedies along the way, but none can compare to "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". Here, the writers & producers came up with an irresistible idea: Take the world's most jittery, nervous underdog (Knotts) and plop him in a story as a would-be reporter talked into staying overnight in the town's "haunted house" to solve a 20-year old murder/suicide mystery.
This movie has hardly a dull spot as it moves along at a nice clip, and is a harmless "scare comedy" in the same spirit as those old Bob Hope (another classic "coward") and Abbott & Costello capers. When Knotts isn't doing anything interesting (except reacting to others in typical bug-eyed manner), eccentric townfolk pop in & out of frame to contribute hilariously (remember the Occult Women's Club or the obnoxious guy who would shout off-screen, "Attaboy, Luther!").
Knotts took a familiar character (done in many variations by Harold Lloyd, Bob Hope, Red Skelton, etc.) and made it his own. He's the odd little man who just knows in his heart he can do something...but being a comedy, he has great difficulty doing it.
TGAMC is slightly dated now, but still retains its comic punch in Knotts' encounters with the supernatural. And if you're like me, you'll be forever haunted by that creepy organ music!

JUST GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!! STILL AS FUNNY AS THE FIRST TIME......MY FAMILY LOVED IT TOO.AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I STILL LAUGHED UNTILL I CRYED. A CLASSIC.............IF THERE WAS 6 OR 7 STAR RATEING THIS MOVIE WOULD GET. A MOVIE FOR ALL AGES.
