The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)

Yes, it’s back again tonight on MeTV- and, for those of you asking, “why again?”- this is the horror/comedy that comes in, neck and neck, with “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” as perhaps the most requested movie our viewers demand to see. The man known for playing one of Mayberry’s best-known public servants plays the nervous hero who must endure a night in a house where a notorious murder took place and that is now labelled as haunted! Solving the mystery of the horrific event that took place requires him to stay there overnight– which could either land him his dream job as a newspaper reporter – and win him the lovely woman of his dreams- or land him in the middle of a real nightmare- caught between ghost troubles and legal woes. Don Knotts shivers his way through the 1966 classic- "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken"!
