Summary: Rainy day movie
Review: Wait for a rainy night, light a fire in the fireplace (wood, not gas), pop some popcorn (lots of butter, no microwave stuff), turn out the lights and watch this movie! I've seen this movie more than a dozen times over the years and each time I see it I laugh out loud. A true classic.

Summary: Perfect Vehicle For Knotts !
Review: This is one of those movies I watched as a kid and still enjoy as much today. Don Knotts is perfect in the title role. His ability throughout the film to appear truely nervous, twitching, and scared creates laugh after laugh. My boys love this movie. "Atta boy, Don!"

Summary: Classic Comedy! Don't Miss It!
Review: I remember one Friday night when I was growing up in the 70's. They were going to show "Ghost and Mr. Chicken" on tv, and my sisters, my neighbor friend and I were settled in to watch it. I was scared to death, covering my eyes when Knott's character (Luther Heggs) came downstairs and saw the painting with the blood gushing out of it! The organ music was so creepy. Now I own this movie and watch it often. It is a reminder of kinder, gentler days, of small town people that are very familiar from my childhood. Of course, I'm a huge Andy Griffith show fan, and this movie was based on an episode called "The Haunted House." The writers of that episode wrote this movie (one of them of the voice of the un-seen guy who keeps hollering
'Atta Boy Luther') and Andy Griffith Show fans will notice many familiar faces in the movie..Otis, Clara, and more. If you loved Don Knotts in that show, you'll love this movie. And if you aren't a big fan of Andy, I still think you'll like this movie. It truly is very funny, the scary scenes are still scary, and I think this is Don's finest work. Please issue this on DVD, I'll be the first in line to buy it.

Summary: The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Review: This is one of the great Don Knotts classics. He is a riot in this film and the organ music is awesome. I could watch this movie over and over. My kids (teenagers)also love this film. Not bad - considering what teens watch today at the theater.

Summary: Good Clean Comedy.
Review: Don Knotts pretty much carries this whole movie of him living in a small town in the mid-west, trying to see if a house is haunted, and becoming a hero to people in a small town that have no heroes (no funny heroes anyway). many television and film actors also appear in this movie, but Don is the one to watch in this look at life in a small town which is not all that different from the town of Riverdale where Archie Andrews and his friends live.

Summary: Incredibly fun and funny...now where's the DVD?
Review: I first saw this Don Knotts comedy back in the late Sixties...and it stuck with me. (Especially the tune the organ plays.) The scenes of nervous, bungling, bug-eyed Don Knotts made me laugh out loud then -- and they still do now. So I was really pleased when this movie was finally released on video a few years ago. My only gripe now is that I wish it were out on DVD because I'm sure I'll wear out my video before too long! Of course, I'm a big fan of the Andy Griffith Show. So that probably explains why I like this movie so much. Don Knotts was largely responsible for making that show the huge hit that it was. And, if you like his schtick on Griffith, you'll like this movie. In fact, there are about a half dozen or more actors who appear in the movie -- most just briefly -- who also worked with Knotts on the Andy Griffth Show. Hal Smith, Ellen Corby, Hope Summers, Burt Mustin and Rita Shaw to name just five. So it was fun to pick out the familiar faces. The movie was even written by two of the Andy Griffith Show's most prolific writers! Knotts has the nervous man character down so well that some scenes in the film are almost painful to watch (like when he's giving his speech -- "I've been called brave. What is brave? Let me clarify this" -- before the picnic crowd gathered in his honor), but I can't help myself. He's funny. I won't go into the plot because so many others have already reviewed it. I just wanted to add my two cents (and Five Stars) to the other reviews. The bottom line: this is a fun movie, great for the whole family. If you haven't seen it, please do so. Sure it's corny. Sure it looks dated. But it's not supposed to be Citizen Kane. It's just a great popcorn movie to share with friends and family.

Summary: Atta boy, Luther!!
Review: This is one funny comedy!! I was freaked out by the haunted house some, since I was watching at night by myself. The organ at night was scary too, but the title music is actually kind of funny. The star is Luther Heggs(Don Knotts) Who is a type-setter who wants to be a reporter, so he stays at this house on the 20th anaversary of the murder/suiside of Mr. and Mrs. Simmons. He soon writes a report on it and got a court summon soon after by the owner of the house, Nick Simmons, the Simmons' nephew. Well, I won't spoil the ending but I gotta say that "Atta boy Luther" was a great running gag suggested by Andy Griffith!!

Summary: Tell it, Luther !
Review: Imagine a Don Knotts movie that endures and claims so many hardcore fans ! This is definitely IT ! The plot moves along fast and with charm, wit and humor. The Luther Heggs character is very typical Knots, but the supporting cast adds so much - the tapioca scene with the banker and his wife is hilarious, as are so many with the imperious Reta Shaw. We sympathize with her waifish, soft-spoken husband and love it when he sees THAT sweater. It is what it is and doesn't pretend to be more than that...a fun movie that can entertain a family year after year.

Summary: Good Classic Movie
Review: This movie is pretty good, they always have it on during holloween time, but I think it's more of a comedy than a horror. It's really not scarry, it's a funny family classic starring Don Knotts, (Barney on Andy Griffit).
