52 – The Canterville Ghost [Das Gespenst von Canterville]



Drama (USA — 1996)

When Professor Hiram Otis gets a research grant to study in England, his family is thrilled to learn that they will be living in a real castle called Canterville Hall. The castle's most notable feature turns out to be the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, who died 400 years ago. Although Sir Simon goes through the motions of being terrifying, the Americans are not easily scared. Eventually, he befriends Otis' daughter, Virginia, who might be just the one to help release Sir Simon from his dreadful curse.
