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

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.
great don knotts dvd October 20, 2008

The ghost gets tied up in Knotts October 18, 2008
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!
