Wicked Woods Cemetery

Stunning stuff from an old favorite.








The Creeping Flesh

James Hildern: I've got to get hold of that skeleton somehow.

Doctor Perry: Oh I don't know... There is the question of professional ethics.

James Hildern: Oh indeed, indeed... that is why I shall have to employ someone for whom ethics have no significance.

Fordham Field Of Frights

Wind, like rain, is usually a horrid foe of the Home Haunter.  But in this video, it seems to be just the contrary.

Now Playing: The Shape

By The Ghost In You.  A song named after Mr. Michael Myers himself.

A song that would be the most fantastic end credits song for literally any movie.

Here's the original Pogo version.

Shadow Valley Cemetery 2021

Great video below of a terrific Home Haunt.  The footage was shot by a drone, and I found it to be quite hypnotic.

Thanks, Sarwyn!

Antique Mace

The horns of this thing once tore a hole in my pants when I was closing the blinds.  I felt like Moe Howard.  And I felt like it was deliberate.

And on one occasion, I woke to find the face turned completely towards the wall.  Though I'm certain I must have brushed up against it at some point during the day (definitely what totally must have happened).



Now Playing: Invitation To The Voyage

Some Sunday music.  By Julia Kent.

Dark Hollow

Haha...I didn't know Eric (Haunted Overload) was even sick!

Now Playing: Riot

By an old favorite Dance with the Dead.  Synthwave, of the harsher variety.



Click below to listen (love the video for this one)...


Oh, 90s

I remember seeing Dracula when it opened in 1992:  A packed movie lobby with a line of ticket holders snaking around and filling every available and empty space (fire hazard).  So we had paid already and were now waiting for the theater to be cleared for us to enter.  Keep in mind this was back before tickets were for a specific seat in a theater.  And you were painfully aware of this Lord of the Flies situation unfolding.  And also keep in mind that over 70% of the waiting patrons were dressed in Victorian garb (lots of blood red and black and purple velour).  I missed the memo, thankfully, and left my stovepipe hat home (I don't really own one [but wouldn't mind if I did]).


So this giant intestine of patrons filling the lobby began to move, and it was bedlam.  No one respected the order of arrival:

Lots of pushing and polite shoving, with a dash of panic due to being in a giant mass of wall-to-wall human beings... and the Victorian garb made it feel like being in a blurry faded photograph in a history text... about The Great Theatre Fire of 1992.  

Thankfully, no fires erupted, and the film turned out to be pretty freaking great.  I still love the practical effects, and the score by Wojciech Kilar is in the top three film scores of all time.  It just IS.

Click below for the musical track that totally should have accompanied the moment the crowd began to move towards that theater door...
