The Headless Ghost (1959)


American International Pictures
Directed by Peter Graham Scott
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

Juvenile antics of a trio of exchange students, two Americans and their voluptuous Danish friend, in an English castle. They sneak away from a guided tour to spend the night and get a story for their college newspaper. A ghost walks out of one of the large portraits in the main hall and implores them to help break a centuries old spell that keep them roaming the castle. They are given the task of finding a leather pouch in a secret room and then reciting an incantation. The big pay off is a scene of a head suspended by wires, it sways a lot, while being chased by its owner. It must have been a lot of fun at the 1959 drive-in, hard to stay awake in today.
