When a teenaged girl moves to England, with her brothers and parents into the ancient Canterville Hall, she's not at all happy. Especially as there's a ghost and a mysterious re-appearing bloodstain on the hearth. She campaigns to go back home, and her dad, believing the ghost's pranks are Ginny's, is ready to send her back. But then Ginny actually meets the elusive 17th-century Sir Simon de Canterville (not to mention the cute teenaged duke next door), and she sets her hand to the task of freeing Sir Simon from his curse.
The Canterville Ghost is a 1996 TV movie that brings Oscar Wilde's classic tale to the screen with a fantasy-drama twist. When an American teenager moves into the ancient English Canterville Hall, she discovers a resident ghost and takes on the challenge of breaking his curse. Released in January 1996, this family-friendly film blends supernatural mystery with coming-of-age themes.
