Gather your courage and keep your hands off that haunted organ this Saturday, September 19, as Svengoolie presents the beloved 1966 comedy-spookfest, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken!
Comedy legend Don Knotts stars as Luther Heggs, a timid, aspiring newspaper typesetter in the small town of Rachel, Kansas. Hoping to land a big break as a real reporter, Luther agrees to spend the night alone in the infamous Simmons mansion—the site of a gruesome murder-suicide twenty years earlier where blood still allegedly drips from the piano keys at midnight. Packed with pitch-perfect slapstick, unforgettable one-liners (“Attaboy, Luther!”), and a delightfully spooky atmosphere, this film remains a cherished favorite for monster and comedy fans alike.
While Luther quakes in his shoes inside the Simmons house, the Sven Squad will be providing top-tier laughs with bone-chilling puns, behind-the-scenes trivia from Universal Studios, and an extraordinarily appropriate barrage of flying rubber chickens. Don’t be chicken—tune in to MeTV at 8P | 7C for an evening of nostalgic, laugh-out-loud fun!
