The Haunted Organ

Don Knotts stared in a great 1960's silly spooky movie called "The Ghost and Mr Chicken"

In the movie there is an old house a murder was committed in. Upstairs there is a blood stained organ. The killer played the organ after killing his wife. Here is what it looked like.

Don Knotts character spends the night on the anniversary of the murder. Take a look at this clip. Move to 5:12 and you will see the organ come to life as the ghost plays the organ:

Or try this:

The music was composed and played by Vic Mizzy. He also composed the Munsters, The Addams Family and a gazillion others.

It is the perfect organ piece for Halloween. And it can be found all over YouTube. Here are some samplings.
