Document 15: The Ghost and Mr. Chicken: This film was produced by Universal Studios, which produced countless classic horror films. Knotts was best known at the time of the film's production for his Emmy Award-winning five seasons on the sitcom "The Andy Griffith Show" as small town deputy sheriff Barney Fife. Andy Griffith, Knotts' co-star on "The Andy Griffith Show", suggested expanding on an episode from the television series involving a deserted house (the old Rimshaw house in the episode "Haunted House" aired October 1963) in which Barney, Gomer, and Andy retrieve a baseball of Opie and his friend from the house. Another "Andy Griffith Show" connection is a small role played by Hal Smith, who had a recurring role on the show. Knotts left the television series at the end of the 1964–65 season in order to pursue a film career. He had already starred in "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" (1964). Knotts' popularity prompted a multiple-movie deal with Universal, starting with this movie, and followed by "The Reluctant Astronaut" (1967), "The Shakiest Gun in the West" (1968), "The Love God?" (1969), and "How to Frame a Figg" (1971). "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" was directed by Alan Rafkin with a screenplay by Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum; all three men had been associated with the success of "The Andy Griffith Show". Several players from the television series also appear in the film including Lurene Tuttle, Burt Mustin, Hal Smith and Hope Summers. Viewers will also recognize several actors and actresses who had appeared or were then appearing on other sitcoms of the time. The movie boasts one of the largest collection of character actors/actresses assembled in a single movie.
