Looking to score a break as a newspaper reporter and impress beautiful Alma Parker, milquetoast typesetter Luther Heggs pitches a story about his small town's haunted house. When the trial judge orders an investigation, and no apparition appears, Luther is branded a fraud. That is, until he and his devoted girlfriend team up to uncover the mystery of the hauntings, and the true murderer, in this timeless comedy classic.

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 'murder house' -- was deliciously traumatic...

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...

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