Brief Synopsis

Cast & crew, alan rafkin, joan staley, liam redmond, dick sargent, skip homeier, photos & videos, technical specs.

Luther Heggs, a meek, timid typesetter for a smalltown newspaper, envisions himself in his daydreams as a reporter worthy of winning the love of Alma Parker. His chance comes when he writes an article on the local "haunted house," where a gruesome murder and suicide took place 20 years earlier. The newspaper piece creates such a stir that Luther's editor, George Beckett, orders him to spend a night in the old house and do a followup story. During the long vigil, the terrified Luther discovers a hidden staircase, a bloodstained organ that plays by itself, and a portrait dripping blood. When his story is published, Luther is given a town picnic in honor of his courage. Nick Simmons, a descendant of the murdered couple and the current owner of the old house, sues Luther and his paper for libel. At the trial, the judge makes the jurors and all involved parties pay a visit to the deserted mansion. Although nothing is found, Luther accidentally tricks Mr. Simmons into revealing his own guilt in the 20-year-old killings, and Luther once again becomes the town hero.

Don Knotts: Reluctant Hero Pack

You know why you thought you saw a murder out there, Luther? 'Cause that's a murder house. - Kelsey

That's right, karate... made my whole body a weapon. - Luther Heggs

Oh, I-I-I-I'm so sorry that I'm late, but we had a seance at the house last night and it ran on until all hours. - Milo Maxwell

Calm? Do 'murder' and 'calm' go together? Calm and murder? Murder? - Luther Heggs

You don't seem to realize the cosmic importance of this. - Halcyon Maxwell

According to Don Knotts' autobiography, the off-screen voice yelling, "Attaboy, Luther!" belongs to screenwriter Everett Greenbaum.

This film inspired a short-lived craze for yelling out "Attaboy, (name)" during speeches and other situations. This came from a running gag used in this film.

Released in the U.S. in mid-summer 1966, this film was frequently double-billed with the similarly themed Munster, Go Home (1966)

The exterior street scenes in the opening credits were filmed at in the Universal Studios backlot. The Mansion shown is the Munsters' house without the mock extensions, smoking chimney and add-on facades as seen on the house in "Munsters, The" (1964).

The working title of this film is Running Scared .

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is a comedic mystery film that was released in 1966. The film stars Don Knotts, Joan Staley, Liam Redmond, and Dick Sargent, among others. Directed by Alan Rafkin, the movie has become a classic of its genre and continues to be enjoyed by audiences today. The plot of The Ghost and Mr. Chicken revolves around the character of Luther Heggs, played by Don Knotts. Luther is a small-town newspaper typesetter who dreams of becoming a journalist. When he is assigned to cover the annual "Old Simmons Mansion" event, he finds himself drawn into a ghostly mystery that has haunted the town for years.

The Simmons Mansion was once the site of a murder-suicide, and it is widely believed to be haunted. Despite the warnings of his friends and colleagues, Luther decides to spend the night in the mansion to try and uncover the truth about the ghostly presence.

As Luther begins his investigation, he encounters a series of strange and frightening events that make him question his sanity. He is chased by a wild dog, sees ghostly apparitions, and finds himself trapped in hidden passageways. Despite his fear, Luther persists in his quest for the truth.

Along the way, he meets the lovely Alma Parker, played by Joan Staley, and the two develop a mutual attraction. Alma is the daughter of the mansion's owner and has a personal stake in the mystery. She encourages Luther to keep investigating, even when the going gets tough.

Luther also has to contend with the skepticism of the town's residents, who are quick to dismiss his claims of ghostly activity. The local sheriff, played by Liam Redmond, is particularly dismissive of Luther's concerns and thinks he is simply trying to drum up attention for himself.

As Luther's investigation continues, he uncovers a shocking revelation about the true nature of the ghostly presence in the mansion. With this knowledge, he is able to finally confront his fears and put an end to the haunting once and for all.

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is a delightful and hilarious film that showcases the comedic talents of Don Knotts. Knotts brings his signature brand of physical comedy and awkward humor to the role of Luther Heggs, infusing the film with a light-hearted charm.

The film also features excellent supporting performances from Joan Staley, Liam Redmond, and Dick Sargent. The chemistry between Knotts and Staley is particularly strong, and their scenes together are some of the highlights of the movie.

The cinematography and set design of The Ghost and Mr. Chicken are also noteworthy. The Simmons Mansion is a wonderfully creepy and atmospheric location, and the film's use of shadow and light help to create a sense of unease and tension throughout.

Overall, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is a delightful and entertaining film that is sure to leave audiences smiling. It combines elements of comedy, mystery, and horror to create a unique and memorable viewing experience.

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is a 1966 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.2.
