January 14, 2012Don Knotts is great when able to utilize his skills as a physical comedian. He plays the nervous oddball perfectly, and this family comedy is probably one of his better film efforts after he left the Andy Griffith Show. It had a fun haunted house story, and plenty of goofy come... read more

November 25, 2010Putting Don Knotts in a haunted house back in the mid sixties was just pure genius and this is why this is my favorite Don Knotts movie. Knotts plays milquetoast newspaper typesetter Luther Heggs from a small Kansas town that dreams of being a big shot reporter like his rival Oll... read more

November 17, 2010If seeing Don Notts karate chop the air while proclaiming 'his body is a weapon' is funny to you then this is a must see. Peronally i find that schtick to be a riot.

I adored this flick as a kid & still do. It ties only with the INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET for my ultimate fav DKnotts. -
November 24, 2009a very silly 1960s comedy that features Don Knotts in all his Don Knotts glory. some very clever writing at times, but the overall film is nothing five-star. Vic Mizzy's score was pretty fun though. a light, entertaining, and enjoyable film.

Unusually good Knotts vehicle with atmosphere and a great creepy organ piece.

For youngsters who hadn't experienced anything stronger than the attack of the ping-pong balls on 'Captain Kangaroo,' 'Mr. Chicken' -- with its spooky organ music, blood-dripping portrait and haunted ...

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is, overall, a very sweet-natured comedy. It's just the thing to watch when you are sick of foul-mouthed puppets [and] flatulent grade-schoolers... Full Review
