Whenever AIP tried to cross comedy with horror the results were never that flash - this, The Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow, The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini. This was made in England by Herman Cohen, to be a double feature in support of Horrors of the Black Museum. It was done far too quickly and on the cheap, a sort of attempt to rip off The Ghost Goes West/The Canterville Ghost with teenagers added.
None of the three teens who go to the English castle are English - two American exchange students and a Dane, which already makes this feel weird. Clive Revill is the ghost who needs to be saved, the one vaguely familiar name in this case. The jokes are lame, the budget low, the atmosphere non existent. Some of the British character actors add some style but its hard going, even at a little over an hour.
