The Ghost of Faffner Hall

The Ghost of Faffner Hall was a music education series which ran on HBO for 13 episodes in 1989.

Faffner Hall is a grand music conservatory where the residents -- human, animal and monster -- enjoy making music of all types. When the Hall's founder, Fughetta Faffner, dies, the Hall falls into the hands of her villainous, music-hating great-nephew, Farkas Faffner. He moves in, and wants to rid the Hall of its collection of musical instruments. Fughetta returns to the castle as a ghost, and opposes Farkas' schemes, aided by youngsters Mimi and Riff, and the eccentric Wild Impresario.

Louise Gold starred as Fughetta Faffner, with Mak Wilson as Farkas, Richard Hunt as the Wild Impresario, Karen Prell as Mimi and Mike Quinn as Riff.

This show featured puppets made both by the Creature Shop and the Muppet Workshop.
