December is often called the most wonderful time of the year. But did you know that the Winter Solstice, which happens during December, is also the second most haunted time of the year? Samhain, or Halloween, is the first. The hauntings that happen during Halloween aren’t the same as theContinue Reading
I sort of have a thing for macabre museums, which is why a post from Bloody Disgusting about the Long Island Monster Gallery, a horror movie museum, caught my eye. Was the Mineola, New York, museum something similar to Distortions Monster World in Denver? Yes and no. They’re both immersiveContinue Reading
We know that this year’s Ghostober Halloween programming crosses over between brands and platforms. The best place to scream everything —er, stream everything— is discovery+. Because some of Ghostober 2021’s programming is exclusive to the streamer. We’re talking haunted houses and ghoulish ghost stories to poltergeist-laden paranormal investigations —and aContinue Reading
Here’s some info about another haunted dining experience, this time from a restaurant in Long Beach, New York. Starting October 8, The Beach House is transforming itself into the Nightmare on Beech Street. It’s not one of Fever’s Haunted Dining in the Dark experiences. Although Patch staff member Jerry BarmashContinue Reading
Terror on Tubi kicked off on October 1. It contains four new Tubi originals as well as more than 5,000 horror and paranormal titles. Thanks to an interview I did with R. H. Stavis and Katherine Fisher for their short horror movie, Posies, I had a little heads up thatContinue Reading
Creep Week 2021 runs from October 9 through October 17. In a previous post, I wrote about how T+E’s Creep Week is Halloween programing in Canada that’s equivalent (basically) to Travel Channel’s Ghostober in the United States. For those who were wondering why we’d care about it since we can’tContinue Reading
Haunted houses of the Halloween variety, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and hayrides have all become standard October activities. But have you noticed a new Halloween 2021 trend? Or have haunted drinking and dining experiences always been around and they’re just now making my radar? It’s something we definitely didn’t seeContinue Reading
The Ghostober edition of discovery+ and Travel Channel paranormal programming is here! We’ve gotten a glimpse of a few shows we can expect to see, like Eli Roth’s A Ghost Ruined My Life. And we know what artifacts have inspired episodes on the Eli Roth/Zak Bagans series collaboration, The HauntedContinue Reading
In Canada, T+E, a specialty channel of Blue Ant Media, is the equivalent (basically) of Travel Channel in the United States. They show a lot of paranormal programming, in addition to other things. And just like how Travel Channel gets into the Spooky Season Spirit every year with a GhostoberContinue Reading
Are you afraid of the dark? Or maybe you’re not afraid so much as it makes you uneasy sometimes. Which is understandable. Pitch dark is great for sleeping in, but how about for eating a meal? Haunted Dining in the Dark tests exactly those limits. The immersive experience combines aContinue Reading
Thanks to COVID, AddamsFest had to pivot last year. Alt AddamsFest, as they called it, featured favorite AddamsFest fun like the Wicked Windows of Westfield and the Haunt Your House Decorating Contest. In true 2020 style, it also used Zoom for a pumpkin carving contest. Dudley’s Drive-In allowed folks toContinue Reading
Here’s the announcement we’ve been waiting for —or at least I have. For months I’ve been wondering what’s the plan for Ghostober 2021? I had a feeling it was going to look a little different this year because…well, doesn’t everything look different these days? Seriously though, the addition of discovery+Continue Reading
