Last Second Instant Watch: The Ghost and Mr. Chicken

Greetings Instant Watchers,

Every week movies appear and disappear on netflix instant watch. Nothing is more frustrating when a movie was there and the next day it’s gone when you were planning to watch it. We here at Geekscape want to make sure this stressful thing doesn’t occur to you! So here’s our recommendation of a movie to instant watch before it’s removed on Feb. 28th, 2012

THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN (1966)

In the 50’s and 60’s Don Knotts was a big name in comedy. One of his finest films was this horror/comedy. In it Knotts plays Luther Heggs (aka Mr. Chicken), a wanna-be journalist who is hired to cover the mystery of the town’s haunted house. The film was written and directed by Alan Rafkin, Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum (all who worked on The Andy Griffin Show). If you’ve only known Don Knotts as that guy who turns into a cartoon fish in a weird WWII kids movie or the inspiration for the principal on Doug, then you should check out this movie and see why he’s a comedy legend.
