| Trivia | The school, named "All Hallows School" in the film, is the real "All Hallows School" at East Cranmore, near Shepton Mallet in Somerset. The gym scene was also filmed there. The Cherry Jumpers are the uniform for the real school too. The nearby Cranmore railway station is the setting for the station in the film and the crossroads with the turning signpost is nearby.

Sir Simon de Canterville: Don't be foolish. Ghosts don't sneeze. Jennifer Canterville: You know, you've been here for over a week. You've probably caught a cold. Sir Simon de Canterville: Impossible. Ghosts don't catch cold. Jennifer Canterville: Nevertheless, you've caught a cold. See more » |
