The Canterville Ghost

“An ancient aristocratic phantom meets his match in an unapologetically modern American family determined not to be spooked.”

When pragmatic American diplomat Hiram B. Otis purchases historic Canterville Chase, he brushes aside dire warnings of a centuries-old haunting. Sir Simon de Canterville, an ancestral spectre accustomed to terrorizing English aristocrats, expects easy victims. Instead, he faces commercial stain removers, industrial lubricants for his clanking chains, and relentless practical jokes from boisterous twin boys. As the frustrated phantom struggles to maintain his theatrical dignity against modern materialism, only young Virginia Otis perceives the tragic sorrow buried beneath his spooky antics. A dazzling collision of gothic horror, broad comedy, and sharp Victorian social satire.
