"I was at my sister Clara's house the night of that terrible murder. We were sort of listening to the organ music and I said "My, the organ music sounds strange tonight" ("Well, what did Clara say?"): She said = *"yes, it does"* = you know Clara!!"
I was born in 1961. It is impossible to imagine being a kid in the late 60's-early '70's who didn't love this film. Seeing "The Ghost and Mr Chicken" was almost a rite of passage LOL
Same here! I was born in '61 as well. And yes, I LOVE all of the movies Don Knotts have done. The Ghost and Mr. Chicken was my all time favorite!!! Eerily hilarious! A true Classic!
I love Don Knotts and his movies as well. What's funny though, is that I grew up watching movies like this, The Great Race, Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines etc. But I was born in 2009.
I was 10 when that movie premiered in 1966 and it scared the heck out of me, yet there was so much hilarious physical comedy from Knotts and the rest of the cast that, as you indicate, tempered what I considered some of the creepiest music I've ever heard. The wedding was a perfect example of taking that music and transforming it into something fun. 1966 was also the year that "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" premiered, so what a rich year that was for Halloween classics! The organ music that Luther witnessed being played "by itself" in the mansion was actually played by its composer, Vic Mizzy, because the hired organist was unavailable that day.
boy, that theme just screams the 60's, and i love it! what a classic tune, it just takes you right back to the era of 'the munsters' and 'the addams family,' and that's a good thing.
@@tomwatson9032 A very funny person on youtube who talked about how this song is really hard to get out of your head. She's right, but I don't mind. It's great.
The comedic genius of Mr. Don Knotts. Never been or will be any one like him. Say, aren't you done with that Jello? Threw a book and WHOOOOSE! Secret stairway.
Don Knotts was at the height of his popularity at this point in time... too bad there was a miscommunication among the staff of the Andy Griffith show... he felt the show was on the decline and went on to other projects... yet, he will always be remembered as a great talent

One of my favorite movies growing up, it scared the piss out of me when Luther was going up to the organ loft to see who was at the keys, and I was very attracted to the beautiful Joan Staley who played Alma, what a woman.

2:17 is the song they play in the haunted barn at Bengston’s Pumpkin Farm in Homer Glenn Illinois. Am I embarrassed to say I’ve been looking for it for a good 5 years? No.

Very cool :)

I love the beginning of the movie when the lady with curlers screams “Murder” out the window!
“The worlds bravest coward 👻”
Can’t believe nobody’s sampled the organ part yet
Oh I have lol
Atta Boy, CARL ! ! ! Vic MIZZY ...Kant go wrong..Great classic film !
Great choice here...The organ was superb 4 this
ATTA BOY LUTHER!!
Don Knotts was at the height of his popularity at this point in time... too bad there was a miscommunication among the staff of the Andy Griffith show... he felt the show was on the decline and went on to other projects... yet, he will always be remembered as a great talent
well, universal did give him a contract based on the movie he already did while on the show, too.
Love this movie! The score by Vic Mizzy is great and Don Knotts is fantastic! ATTA BOYS all around! 😊
Jenny said this song was a banger so I had to come and see for myself
One of my favorite movie endings of all time. As well as a hilarious "plot twist".
This movie was the shit and I have a sample of that organ already haha
great movie and great memories!
You're C of C and you're okay!
Hey, you're not c of c.
No, but I'm in the rotary club.
Oh! Get out of here!
Love it!
ATTA BOY, VIC!
I think I purchased the CD audio soundtrack on the movie maybe 10 years ago from Critics Choice video and Music.
I hadn't thought of this before, but there are parts of the main theme that are reminiscent of Mizzy's "Addams Family" theme.
Galantski Same guy did the music. Vic Mizzy.
Sounds more like Mr Ghost Is Going To Town.
I know right! The guy was brilliant!!
Loved it & this movie! I miss 1966!
One of my favorites. Don knotts...one of a kind. Also my faves...reluctant astronaut and the shakesty gun in the west. Good stuff. Thank Mr.knotts
Are you finished with your JELLO ?
I like that fuzz guitar in his music!
I gotta find some of his albums!

Thanks for posting this classic! I saw the movie years ago as a kid. Don Knotts is one of the greatest for sure! Thanks again!
One of my favorite movies growing up, it scared the piss out of me when Luther was going up to the organ loft to see who was at the keys, and I was very attracted to the beautiful Joan Staley who played Alma, what a woman.
"Love your print."
Mrs. Cobb's niece Melva bought a print down at Belson's.
Listening to this still makes me smile. One of my all time favorite, fun movies.
One of Vic Mizzy's best!
saw this at the drive in w mom and dad loved it
I'm having chicken soup with Alma!!!
Classic 1966
Love this song
“Calver?! What are you doing here?! You’re dead!”
Fresh !
Let me clarify this…..

Gotta luv Vic Mizzy music. Gotta luv Vic Mizzy. Gotta luv Don Knotts. And last but not least, Gotta luv The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
Luther, are you alright?
I'm fine.
I love this movie. It’s hilarious - but that organ music creeps me out. Well done!
“Attaboy, Luther!” 😂
All time favorite Don Knotts movie, though The Incredible Mr. Limpet comes a close second!
Love ❤️ this cult film !!!
“Atta Boy, Luther!”
Best me to it, dang
Naturally I remained cool. Other guy: Ill bet.
“You’re COC you’re okay you’re COC you’re okay!”
To Luther: “You’re _not_ C of C, but … you’re OK.” 🙂
A great spooky theme Don Knotts best movie laughed and screamed when I saw it in 66 at 13
"I'll see you tomorrow!"
"God willing."
Why does time have to go on so fast 😔
Just don't make 'em like this anymore...... :(
this movie came out three years before the opening of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland opened the same day as the Manson murders. A spooky bit of trivia.
I love the loud scream, and then "that sounds like Alma!" ....really? uhhhh... is there something you're not telling us, Luther?
Now I know what possibly inspired Santana's evil ways....you guys hear the resemblance ? lol
“I’m having chicken noodle soup with Alma.”
To get this movie you go to my Michigan Public Library or rent it on TH-cam...
“And they used Bon Ami !”
A T T A B O Y L U T H E R
Oh man....(Too many to list here).
Pretty much ALL of the Don Knotts movies, Green Acres and the Addams Family, The Night Walker (William Castle)..ETC.
My personal favorite is the score he did for "The spirit is willing" (1967) but then....I've had a long-running crush on Jill Townsend
lol
treadhead105 The Spirit is Willing was so funny! Special memory watching that with my Dad and my Peepaw! and my brother!
About 1min.30 into song- Buddy Love stormed into my head-a new movie drenched in the sick, rich colors of the purple pit-can you imagine Stell and Alma and Buddy and Luther clearing old creepy mansions of..... What if???Could have been really great.
you don't get more 60's than this. it just reminds me of the munsters, dumb beach bikini movies, drive-ins, and aurora monster models.
and that's all I have to say about that
Good Stuff!!!
Haha atta boy Luther
2:10 is the wedding/ending
One of the funniest "plot twists" I saw. LOL
