Best Bits

This frighteningly funny and delightfully spooky retelling of Oscar Wilde's comic novel is bought to life this Christmas with spine-tingling magic, spectacular illusions and ghoulish effects.

Mr and Mrs Otis and their boisterous children arrive from America to move into Canterville Chase. Of course, like all the best old mansions, the Chase comes with its own ghost. The spectral knight does his very best to spook the trespassers from his ancestral home but to no avail. Poor Sir Simon feels utter despair until he meets the young Virginia Otis who sees him for who is really is.
