Summary

An adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 1887 short story, Sydney Macartney's "The Canterville Ghost" aired on ABC on January 27, 1996, and, perhaps surprisingly, featured notable central roles for both the late legend Sir Patrick Stewart and Neve Campbell. Indeed, 1996 was a banner year for both actors, with Stewart appearing in the film "Star Trek: First Contact" and Campbell headlining two of the best teen movies of the 1990s over the same 12-month period (namely, "The Craft" and "Scream"). Stewart, of course, was already riding high professionally by that point.
