The Return

In 1973, a year after his curiosity was warned as 'Mr Paxton', Peter Vaughan had another ghostly encounter as 'Steven Royds' in this lovely little spooky two-hander based on stories by A.M. Burrage (Nobody's House) and Ambrose Bierce (The Middle Toe of the Right Foot).

Royds arrives at the Harboys house late one night and begs admittance from the housekeeper, Mrs Park (Rosalie Crutchley - The Haunting), claiming he's there to tour the house with a view to buying.  Having some knowledge of the events that had left to house empty for the previous two decades he subsequently demands to spend the night in the haunted master bedroom.

This lovely little gothic, haunted house short film is very much in the classic Ghost Story for Christmas tradition.  It looks stunning, sounds great and is beautifully performed by Vaughan and Crutchley and is deserving of a much greater audience.
