Ghost Story (1974) - The Real Withnail?

Ghost Story (aka Madhouse Mansion -USA) was released in 1974 and to my knowledge has never been released on video or DVD in the UK. It tells the story of Talbot, Duller and Mc Fayden who stay in a haunted English mansion. It has rare performances by Marianne Faithfull, and Vivian Mackerall (Duller) who is said to be the real Withnail from the film Withnail and I. IMDB confirm Vivian's surname has two alternative spellings (Mackerall/Mackerrell) and that he sadly died of throat cancer in 1995, possibly due to drinking lighter fluid. Enjoy the clips!

Hello Bollockowithalob!

I'm glad you liked the Vivien Mackerell clips. I guess you saw the other Viv videos I posted? Are you sure the world is ready for more ghost story clips?!
