On the topic of "The Ghost and Mr Chicken," I was wondering if any of you have ever found a laserdisc or dvd release that has the Special "haunted house design" on the top and bottom letterbox areas, as described below? I remember seeing it on tv this way, and I think That the opening titles were the only part of the movie to have this special border artwork - when the movie started in earnest, the picture became 'full screen/pan and scan'.
http://www.kiddiematinee.com/g-gmchicken.html "On TV, from the late 1960's to c.1990, the letterboxed titles of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken had the old Universal widescreen borders, which normally featured a curlyque design in the spaces. For some prints of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken, they featured a special haunted house design in the top and bottom letterbox areas. New video copies have only black letterbox bars. The films Techniscope image is ENTIRELY letterboxed on videodisc and DVD."
