Pretty much HeyItsThatGuy: The Movie, from the guy who directed it (Neil Jordan, [[HeAlsoDid better known]] for literal Oscar winners like ''TheCryingGame'' and ''InterviewWithTheVampire'') to its cast. Peter O'Toole is almost DrivenToSuicide when he's unable to pay the bills on his family castle, which he's turned into a hotel/theatre because of said bills. Until his seemingly {{Cloudcuckoolander}} mother informs him that she's been having conversations with his father -- who's been dead for years.

O'Toole gets the idea to attract American tourists by advertising the hotel as haunted and gets the castle's thespians and employees to pretend to be ghosts. The SpecialEffectFailure by the actors tips off the Americans that the hauntings are fake, if it wasn't already obvious by the time they were heading towards the castle, and O'Toole plans to return to his suicide attempts until the ''real'' ghosts of his ancestors show up.

The EnsembleCast has a variety of little storylines, but the main storyline, other than the one involving O'Toole and his ancestors' ghosts, focuses on a married couple, Jack and Sharon, played by [[PoliceAcademy Steve Guttenberg]] and [[Film/NationalLampoonsVacation Beverly D'Angelo]], who are having problems, and are only there because Sharon's father is trying to get the deed to the castle, and having the castle's hauntings revealed as fake would benefit this greatly. Things don't go as planned, though, because Jack and Sharon begin individual romances with a pair of ghosts, Mary Plunkett and Martin Brogan ([[{{Creator/DarylHannah}} Daryl Hannah]] and [[{{Film/ThePhantomMenace}} Liam Neeson]]), who are stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop with Mary repeatedly being murdered by Martin, because he believes her to be unfaithful because she doesn't sleep with him on their wedding night.

* ThereIsAGod: The lord of a castle fails to make it tourist attraction. He's so depressed he's thinking of hanging himself, but a storm means the guests have to stay, so he says this.
