"The Canterville Ghost" is an 1887 short story by Oscar Wilde which serves as an Affectionate Parody of the Haunted House tradition.A wealthy American political family, headed by Hiram Otis, purchases Canterville Chase from its aristocratic owners. Initially, Mr. Otis scoffs at the news that the estate comes with a ghost, but sure enough, one soon appears: Sir Simon de Canterville, who murdered his wife in 1575, and was murdered himself a few years later. As Sir Simon discovers all too quickly, the Otis family proves resistant to his best haunting effects, and he becomes deeply melancholic. The innocent Virginia Otis, however, turns out to be the solution to his plight.The story is in the public domain, and can be read here. For another parodic ghost story (one that, coincidentally, also premiered in 1887) see Ruddigore.There have been several screen adaptations, most notably a 1944 film directed by Jules Dassin and starring Charles Laughton as Sir Simon. A 2021 TV adaptation, co-starring Anthony Head as Sir Simon, flew under the radar but won a Children's and Family Emmy for makeup work. | |

Monster and the Maiden: The titular character was a lonely and grumpy Elizabethan ghost bound to his English family mansion by a curse. When an American family with young, rambunctious children moves in, he attempts to scare them out. The boys think it is a great adventure and play along with his tricks. The little girl, however, makes friends with Canterville, and assists him in solving the riddle of the curse. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Sir Simon swears to kill everyone with a Cruel and Unusual Death when the rooster crows twice. Then he hears the rooster crowing. Sir Simon expects a second time without success. Puzzled, he retires to his room and checks on their Gothic Horror books that whenever someone says that oath, the rooster always sings twice. Discouraged, he's off. | |

Eagleland | |
| The Canterville Ghost / int_7a265daa | comment |
Eagleland: The Otises are a mix of Type One and Type Two—most of them mean well, but are quite materialistic in multiple senses of the word. (On the other hand, after Sir Simon's treasure is discovered, Mr. Otis tries very hard to persuade his descendants to reclaim it, and is embarrassed when they decline.) It's notable that Virginia, who is the most sympathetic to the ghost's plight, ends up marrying into a British noble family after the main plotline is resolved. | |

Take That!: Americans bear the brunt of it. The Otis family is named after one of the pre-eminent American political dynasties of the period. Two of the products poke fun at American political corruption: Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator (Tammany Hall) and Pinkerton's Paragon Detergent (Pinkerton Detective). Sir Simon's various "roles" ("Dumb Daniel, or the Suicide's Skeleton") are all send-ups of Gothic stage melodrama. Sir Simon himself behaves a lot like a bombastic but down-on-his-luck actor. | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Sir Simon's self-justification. "Oh, I hate the cheap severity of abstract ethics! My wife was very plain, never had my ruffs properly starched, and knew nothing about cookery. Why, there was a buck I had shot in Hogley Woods, a magnificent pricket, and do you know how she had it sent to table? However, it is no matter now, for it is all over, and I don't think it was very nice of her brothers to starve me to death, though I did kill her." | |
