"The Enfield Haunting" Now, A Mini-Series

   I have to say, the trailer for this miniseries about the Enfield Poltergeist doesn't look too bad, though I agree with Pumpkin Rot (who was awesome enough to bring this series to my attention - thanks Rot!) in that it's got some overdone Hollywood-like touches. Still glad to see a great cast in this re-telling of one of the most famous poltergeist cases of all time - a case that has inspired me in my writing for years. During the spring I discovered that James Wan will be using the case in his upcoming sequel to the already awful The Conjuring franchise (ugh...). Even if this mini-series is horrible, in my opinion it will still be better than anything James Wan will do with it. Cheers to alternative visions!

I watched this film yesterday and loved it, especially the production design! Very beautiful and macabre. The film's plot contains spooky adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe's "Morella," "The Black Cat," and "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar." Vincent Price gives three great performances in all of these and Peter Lorre's performace as Montesor Herrington was also very good. To watch this film, here's the Hulu link: Enjoy!

While researching the film, I found this great photo taken during auditions for "The Black Cat"

Working on the House...

I have been so busy Halloweening the house and getting ready for the party, I am absolutely filled with Halloween spirit! I hope the haunt ends up looking really good this year, so hard to tell at this point without the beautiful candlelight and carved pumpkins. Like I said, so much to do, so little time!

Haunted Fridays

  Fridays have always been my favorite day of the week. Not only has the weekend arrived, but when Friday rolls around there is such a spirited feeling in the air, as if none of the difficult things we face during the other days in the week can bother us on this awesome day. Not to mention kicking back with my friends (or even just my mom) to eat pizza, drink soda, and tune into the Travel Channel's line-up of "Haunted Shows" as I call them. 

       Friday just wouldn't be the same without Ghost Adventures, Most Haunted, Weird Travels, and all the reruns of random ghost documentaries from the 90's. The best part of the reruns are the reenactments, no doubt. The acting and special effects can be so cheesy, we hit the ground laughing. I think started watching the line-up of these shows about three years ago during late summer. At the time I was surprised to see that Most Haunted was being aired in the States (my family and I had seen it when we visited my aunt in Scotland two years before and now it was becoming popular in the U.S.).

       To this day, I still watch the Friday night line-up of spooky shows. The activity that Ghost Adventures gets is often very impressive while Most Haunted mostly consists of the team scaring themselves. Either way both shows are quite entertaining and I'll be sure to post more on these shows later.
