The Headless Ghost

The Headless Ghost is an 1959 British comedy horror film directed by Peter Graham Scott.

Producer Herman Cohen was making Horrors of the Black Museum in England for AIP. James H. Nicholson from AIP requested a second film in order to make a double feature it had to be made cheaply and in black and white. CohenI told him Id see what I could come up with. I started thinking, What the hell can I do?, and I thought maybe I should do a comedy. So Aben Kandel and I wrote this picture... I got great publicity for using Richard Lyon in one of the leadsLouella Parsons gave us a headline storybecause he was Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyons son, who was acting in London. I met him and he needed a job badly, so we hired him. We knocked out that picture very, very fast thats why the running time is so short, like sixtyfive minutes. The director, Peter Graham Scott, was a film editor in London who always wanted to direct, and I needed somebody to do a fast job under my guidance. In fact, we started Headless Ghost as I was still finishing Black Museum, editing and cutting it. But I honestly dont recall too much else about this picture, it was so bad. ........
