Night Comes Too Soon (U.S. tite: The Ghost of Rashmon Hall; also known as A Ghost Story) is a 1948 British second feature ('B')[1] horror film directed by Denis Kavanagh and starring Valentine Dyall, Anne Howard and Alec Faversham.

[2] It was written by Pat Dixon based on the story The Haunters and the Haunted by Edward Bulwer-Lytton,[1] and also incorporates the "changing picture" component from The Mezzotint by M. R.

[citation needed] It was shot at a manor house near Mill Hill, part of a trend of renting country houses rather than studio space by low-budget producers after the Second World War.

[1] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The story, as filmed, is unlikely to chill any spines, and those who have read or seen Lord Lytton's play The Haunted and the Haunters, of which this is an adaptation, will scarcely consider it an impressive piece of work.

"[3] Kine Weekly wrote: "Valentine Dyall impresses in a theatrical sort of way as George Clinton, but Anne Howard and Alec Faversham lack screen experience as Phyllis and John.
