Curo, on His Own
I had always remembered the haunted mansion section of ‘The Ghost and Mr. Chicken’ being my favorite part. Clearly, there was a haunted mansion involved, how could you not love that? I also remembered the haunted mansion escapade being a significant portion of the movie. Turns out, still my favorite part, but only about ten minutes long.
How does that happen? You trap Don Knotts in a haunted mansion, and you only get ten minutes out of it? Sure, as an adult, any more time spent with a bumbler would prove boring and potentially repetitive, but this doesn’t strike me as the kind of movie marketed to adults. And kids would eat that up for hours! I feel robbed. Not like, at gun point robbed, but more, they snuck into my house while I wasn’t there and stole a couple of knick-knacks off the shelves I wouldn’t have noticed until I went looking for them kind of robbed.
Which also means, pretty lame robber, so be thankful for small miracles right?
