"Attaboy, Luther!"

[mrv3000]

Every Sunday afternoon when I was growing up, there was the Family Film Festival on KTLA at 2 p.m. And every Sunday afternoon I watched an old musical or comedy or mystery or what have you. I was just looking through Netflix's online viewing selection, which is a lot of old stuff. But there, at the end of the family section, was something I hadn't seen in YEARS.

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken

Yes, I had to hide behind the couch for the self-playing organ with blood on it part back then! And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna grab some ice cream and watch Don Knotts freak out in a haunted house.

P.S. How could you not love a couple named Luther and Alma?

ETA: I just jumped. :D I swear I'm 7 years old again when I'm watching this. I can't stop grinning.

Oh my god. I used to watch that movie all the time, and it scared the hell out of me.

Now I need to see that movie again.

It was so fun watching it again. It's so cute and innocent. :D

BWAH! I *loved* that movie!

And the other great Don Knotts classic, The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

Oooh, yeah! Haven't seen that one in ages also. All I really remember is that a girl fish wanted to spawn with him. :D
