G-G-GUARANTEED! YOU'LL BE SCARED UNTIL YOU LAUGH YOURSELF SILLY!

Overview

Luther Heggs, a typesetter for the town newspaper, pitches an idea for a story about a local haunted house where a famous murder/suicide occurred 20 years earlier. After the editor assigns Luther to spend one night alone in the mansion, Heggs has a number of supernatural encounters and writes a front page story that makes him a hometown hero...until the nephew of the deceased sues him for libel.

    Classic, cannot be replicated This Don Knotts vehicle made immediately after his days on the Andy Griffith show ended has now become a classic. Knotts’ plays the nervous typesetter who spends the night in a haunted mansion. He eventually wins the beautiful girl and solves a murder mystery, completely by accident of course. 9-10...
