Movie Review: ****^The Ghost and Mr. Chicken

This was one of my favorite scary time movies growing up.  Even with the explanations at the end, and seeing it so many times, it still scares me.  Don Knotts plays Luther Heggs, a wanna be reporter who falls for a challenge to spend a night in a haunted house where a murder took place some years before.  Only as Don Knotts can, he sets himself up in a sleeping bag, and when the house really turns out to be haunted, he runs away in terror.  No one can do a scared face like Don Knotts.  He writes of his night, and becomes a local celebrity,  However when he is sued for slander, he takes the court to the house, and it doesn't appear to be haunted.  Knotts' love interest is Alma Parker (Joan Staley).  A great line in this movie "Atta boy Luther."  This movie has cobwebs, bleeding scissors and a self playing organ. Cool!!!
