Amazon.com: 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 Customer Reviews: Rating:

"ATTA BOY, LUTHER!"
Like others who have posted, I saw this movie when it came out in the 1960's. I was a teenager then and absolutely LOVED this movie. Don Knotts had a way about him that was uniquely all his own; a way that just naturally made people love him and laugh at him.
But of all the things that might be remembered about this movie, the one that has stood out in my mind all these past 40+ years is... every now & then during the movie you hear a loud, emphatic voice blurt out -- "ATTA BOY, LUTHER!" -- but you never see the face of the guy who says it; at least, to the best of my remembrance I don't think you ever see him.
"The Ghost And Mr. Chicken" was made during the time when most comedies were light-hearted and fit for the whole family to watch... AND... THEY WERE ACTED OUT BY GENUINELY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS, in contradistinction to the continual display of imposters and comedian-wanna-be's seen on TV and movie screens of today.
I was very saddened when I heard of Don Knotts' passing. But he will continue to live in the hearts of so many people who love him to this day.

Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Luther Heggs is a mild mannered typesetter just waiting to break out and show the world that he can be a reporter. When the nervous, shy, and loveable bug-eyed reporter wanna be is dared to spend the night in the old haunted Simmons mansion, he feels this is his chance. There are a lot of strange things that happen in this old house. People recount of hearing creepy organ music wondering if the unsolved murder victim is haunting the old house. The newspaper editor thinks it is a wonderful idea, and decides to give Luther the chance he has been dreaming about since the anniversary of the murder/suicide is approaching. When Luther spends the fated night, he barely makes it past midnight tearing from the house spouting tales of a ghost playing the organ, shears embedded in a portrait, and secret passage ways. When Luther tries to prove the events he experienced in the house, he ends up looking like a fool when they cannot be recreated. As he solves the mystery, he takes the whole audience along for the ride.
Don Knotts is superb in this movie! His physical comedic skills could not be done any better. The supporting cast brought together for this film was very well cast. Some of the cast members will also be familiar to those that have followed Knotts career with Andy Griffith.
