Product Description
Percepto Records proudly presents the release of Vic Mizzy's most requested score -- THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN, released on CD for the first time! The success of the film was due in no small part to composer Mizzy, who used Knott's knee-jerk antics to create this spooky, unforgettable comedic score that later became universally known as the "Don Knotts Sound" and accompanied four more comic gems -- THE RELUCTANT ASTRONAUT (also coming from Percepto), THE SHAKIEST GUN IN THE WEST, HOW TO FRAME A FIGG and THE LOVE GOD?. This deluxe limited edition of 3,000 copies is one of Percepto's most lavish to date and includes the complete original score digitally remastered from the composer's own private masters and includes Mizzy's classic self-played rendition of "The Haunted Organ," plus rare source cues. This package also includes a lavish, full-color 40-page booklet documenting the complete history of the film's production, including interviews with key members of the cast and crew, dozens of rare, behind-the-scenes photos, poster, lobby card and pressbook art from all over the world, and Mizzy's own mirthful memories on the creation of his score. 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars Atta boy, Luther!!, August 16, 2007

By	Tuco (Phoenix, Az USA) - See all my reviews

This is really a great little CD that really hilights what Vic Mizzy does best.

As an added bonus, there are 40 pages of liner full color notes which include IN-DEPTH interviews with both Knotts and Mizzy ans well as many full color behind the scenes pics and rare original poster art. I never knew that the uncredited Andy Griffith had contributed some bits to the script - the "Atta Boy, Luther" running gag was his idea!!

Well worth the price - because this is a Limited Edition release, don't be chicken and get yours now before they sell out!!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT CD FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE..., October 23, 2005

By	Father "tmsomers1" (NH United States) - See all my reviews

I remember watching "The Ghost of Mr. Chicken" when it was aired sporadically during my childhood. I'll admit I don't look at it with the same eyes as a 34 year old, but it brings back good memories. I always liked the music and was happy to see it on this CD. The price for a new CD was a bit steep, but I purchased it anyway. People who have not see the movie a few times may not appreciate CD. I can picture in my mind certain scenes as they play. It may even sound spooky to someone not familiar with the movie, but I don't think would not recommend it. My wife who never really saw the movie, just does not get why I was looking forward to listening to it! 5 STARS just for something like this making it to CD!
