Even though the horror-comedy Studio 666 is clearly a work of fiction, it’s hard not to wonder if it’s based on a true story. Specifically, did the Foo Fighters ever record one of their albums in a murder house? For those who may not be, let’s first acquaint ourselves withContinue Reading
Edited March 4, 2023 to reflect updated release date. Disney picked the perfect time of the year (halfway to Halloween!) to reveal some details about the new Haunted Mansion movie. Will it be live-action or animated? Will it be a remake of the 2003 movie or does it have aContinue Reading
Yes, I realize April is already half over. It’s been a busy month. Sadly, I let a press release about the Crackle’s April 2022 programming get buried in my inbox. But since these movies and TV shows aren’t only playing in April, I figured there’s still plenty of time toContinue Reading
In the movie, The Cursed, Boyd Holbrook plays pathologist John McBride. Except, no one knows what a pathologist is in the 1800s. All the elders of a struggling French village know is that this McBride guy has come to help them. Hopefully. A child is missing. Another one has beenContinue Reading
The haunted hotel’s magnificent dome beckoned to me the moment I spotted it in the trailer for So Cold the River. The first thing I wanted to know was, “Is that a real place? If so, where was this movie filmed?” The second thing I wanted to know was whetherContinue Reading
One of the dates on the Weird Holidays & Observances page that has always intrigued me but that I’ve never investigated is Alfred Hitchcock Day. It’s celebrated annually on March 12.

It’s rare to hear about a ground-breaking exorcism that didn’t involve Ed and Lorraine Warren, isn’t it? How did they miss out on being part of the first televised exorcism in America? I don’t know, but there was an “Ed” involved and an upcoming new horror movie, True Haunting, isContinue Reading

If you’ve listened to any of the Macabre Museum episodes during this season of the podcast, you know I have a thing for museums. But I never knew there was an Edward Scissorhands museum until today. It’s located in the real Florida house that served as the home where theContinue Reading
“He made his name in blood. No one could touch him. Certain stories, they just refuse to die.” That’s one of the lines in the trailer for So Cold the River, a new horror movie releasing on Mar. 25, 2022. Specifically, it’s how Anne McKinney (Deanna Dunagan) describes a manContinue Reading
Not all houses are haunted by ghosts. In the case of the Westfield Watcher house, its ghoul was a phantom stalker. And that’s the reason I included it in the “Cases of Creepy Haunted Houses” episode of the Haunting American True Crimes season of the podcast. The story is creepyContinue Reading
I’m a little late seeing Ghostbusters: Afterlife but you know what they say, “Better late than never.” Well, mostly it’s better to be late experiencing something than to miss out altogether.
