The case has aroused local interest not only because of the anniversary but due to the fact that the family heir, Nick Simmons, has returned to Rachel aiming to tear the mansion down. Luther's account of his wild, ghost-ridden night in the house leads Simmons to sue for libel, but with the aid of his friend Kelsey they determines what exactly happened that night long ago and the identity of the real killer.

    This is a good movie to see once or twice. I thought it was pretty funny in a cheesy kind of way. I liked Don Knotts in this though.

    The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is a fun movie. I saw this movie as a child and have seen it many times as an adult. I love Don Knotts in this movie - the haunted house is great! Watch for the cameo by Ellen Corby (best known as the grandmother on the Waltons) who plays Knotts' third grade teacher. Hilarious!

    How has this classic been so forgotten? Comic genius Don Knotts gives his best performance here. Atta boy, Luther!

    Don Knotts shines in this sweet little film that looks so much like the peaceful time that it was shot in.

    Done Knutts is the king of suck. Barney sucks. Mr. Roper sucks. This guy just flat out sucks. I would rather look at stamps with endangered frogs on them.

    I love most of Don Knotts' movies, but I think this is his very best. He does the corny "scaredy-cat" character SO well.

    It's cute. Worth seeing once. I like the running gag with the two old ladies about the cleaner they used.

    Ghosts, a Haunted House, and Don Knotts. What a comedy mixture. Don is reponsible for finding out the mystery of the ghost and the haunted house. The memorible scene for me is when they open the coffin and find a larg Univac like computer... who has the answers! But the outlet to plug it in is on the other side of the graveyard, hmm what will Don use to plug that computer in?.. The music is also very haunting as most of it is performed on an organ that you would hear in the old skating rinks of decades gone by.

    It's a movie you don't really have to think very much about, good if you're in the mood for an older movie.

    This is a fun family comedy that hinges on Don Knotts and his trademark physical comedy which he delivers with ease where the underdog wins the girl in the end.

    Meh... Not bad, not totally-super-amazing. It used to scare me, but then, EVERYTHING used to scare me, so... I figure it doesn't matter. Good thing I went to a "military academy"! (wink wink)

    This is one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. 'Twas Mom's choice... when we rented it, Dad said, "I'm not going anywhere NEAR that movie..." And now I can see why. There was a moment or two of enjoyability (the scene where he gave his speech was fun) but overall it was just dumb, dumb, dumb. Sometimes zany is fun, but... meh. 'Nuff said.
