About The Canterville Ghost
A young American couple inherits an English castle, only to find that it is haunted by the spirit of a disgraced ancestor, doomed to stay on the estate because of his cowardice. The only way he can escape is if one of his descendants performs an heroic act, something he intends to get the husband to do.
Directed by Ed Newmann, Monica Kendall, The Canterville Ghost leans on a strong ensemble — Brian Cummings, Lewis Arquette, Susan Blu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1988.
