Client

The Spirit Cabinet

The film premiered at Jim Henson Studios in West Hollywood on February 28th, 2015.

The Apparition of the Mill (voiced by the legendary Barbara Steele) was puppeted in a water tank to give her movements a more ghostly quality. She was then composited into another live-action plate, and her mouth was digitally animated to sync with the scene's ADR dialogue.
