The Phantom of Morrisville (Fantom Morrisvillu) is a Czechoslovakian 1966 comedy thriller movie by Borivoj Zeman, made as a parody on the genre of mystical thrillers.

His castle Morrisville is inhabited by the horrible Phantom. Manuel Diaz hunts for treausers of Morrisville, Inspector Brumpby from Scotland Yard hunts for Diaz, and the journalist and amateur detective with recognisable name Allan Pinkerton wants to uncover the mystery of the castle.
