Movie reference in opening of Aug 8th Daily Show?

Jon Stewart is away from the Daily Show for a few months, and John Oliver is filling in. As part of a running gag, John Oliver make a funny fake excuse for where Jon Stewart is. On August 8th's show, John said that Jon was "spending the summer fulfilling the terms of his crazy uncle's will by spending the whole time in a haunted house." They showed a picture (presumably from the movie but with Jon Stewart's face superimposed on the character) of someone crouching in the doorway of an old creepy house. Then John Oliver said what I assume to be a quote from a character in movie: "he doesn't like g-g-g-ghosts!"

Any idea what John Oliver is referencing?

    The Ghost and Mr. Chicken?

    It's an old Don Knotts movie. It sounds like it could be similar. You might want to IMDB that movie to see if the picture matches up.
