In honor of Memorial Day I decided to write about a fantastic program I watched on PBS last week called The Ghost Army. Wow. I was absolutely engrossed. I don’t know if everyone has a favorite war or era of…

Last week I received some info about a movie that’s currently in the post-production phase: Scopia. It looks rather interesting. At least, it caught my eye because it deals with something else I’m interested in: past lives and past life…

Springfield, Missouri has her own castle. The structure sits well hidden behind Evangel College. Driving along Glenstone one would never know the castle existed from the view near the street. The building was designed to resemble a castle reflecting the…

In January 2011 I wrote about a then-unreleased movie called Midnight Son that had come to my attention. I had lamented about the vampire genre being like vampires and refusing to die. However, judging by the trailer, this movie showed…

Among the movies shown during Syfy’s 31 Days of Halloween was one of my favorite Stephen King creations ever: The Mist . I recorded it because I wasn’t able to watch during one of it’s showings. A lot of people, my…

Last week I spotted a banner with the word “Hitchcock” and under that in smaller letters “Coming Soon” on an article titled “Halloween Tours That Give You the Creeps.” I’m not usually one to click ads, but I dared to…

I’ve seen some buzz the past few days about Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes. Today I saw a link on Dread Central’s Facebook page with an exclusive clip to the movie. The movie poster caught my eye. Specifically, the tagline…

I was quite intrigued by the Skellie Man of Fisherman’s Wharf. We see a lot of street performers when we travel. I thought this was a super innovative costume. Also, I liked the macabre-ness of it. I also liked that…

I got an email with some information about a trailer for a movie called Pleasantview State. I don’t think the movie has actually been made yet, though. I think they put this trailer together to try and sell the concept…

At the start of this year, I listed horror movies coming out in 2012 for the first quarter of the year. Then, as usual, I fell off the wagon. I didn’t follow up for the second quarter. Now we’re almost…

Over a year ago, Haunt Jaunts signed up for Crazy Dog TShirts‘s affiliate program. The reason I applied was in part because of the shirt I’m modeling above. The Friday the 13th series is one of my faves. (Well, I…

This weekend I had the chance to watch Vanishing on 7th Street starring Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton, John Leguizamo, and Jacob Latimore. I had never heard of it until it popped up as a suggestion in my Blockbuster queue associated…

A few weeks back, either Bio or the History Channel (I forget which now) reran Haunted History: Caribbean. I DVRed it because I was curious if they would mention any haunts on Nassau, one of the ports of call on the…

A couple of weeks back when we went to see The Hunger Games, we saw a preview for Battleship. I’d seen the movie posters before that. They’d referenced, “Based on the Hasbro game.” Or something to that effect. Well, when…

I asked Annie of FootTracker if she’d be interested in doing a guest blog. I noticed a pattern in some of her comments on my posts. After reading her post, “Proper” Way to Enter a Hotel Room, my suspicions were…

Once upon a time I wondered, “When Chernobyl opens to tourists, will there be ghost tours?” And ever since Destination Truth‘s visit there, I’ve wondered, “Just how haunted is Pripyat anyway?” Well, Oren Peli is going to explore the theme…

If you’ve never cruised before, one of the things you’ll discover waiting for you each night in your room are towel animals. Your stateroom steward takes any towels you’ve used during the day to create them. Sometimes we don’t always…

I saw an ad on Facebook that said something to the effect “Like haunted house movies?” Of course that caught my eye. I clicked through and discovered the page for 7 Below. The next thing to catch my eye was…

Okay, so Playback stunk, but here’s two other movies that look good and which I’m looking forward to. ParaNorman I loved Coraline. The makers of it have made this one. It’s more for kids, but that’s okay. My inner child…

I made the grave error of renting Playback last week as a “see it before it’s in theaters” movie from On Demand. I think it hit select theaters this past weekend. I’ll be surprised if it lasts until next weekend.…

I decided to share this press release I also received in regards to Chicago Fear Fest. Mainly because ‘Holliston’ sounds like quite a combo and I LOVED the poster. —- “HOLLISTON” film makers Adam Green & Joe Lynch to appear…

First there was “Snakes on a Plane.” Then came Zombies on a Plane. (Okay, to be fair, it was actually called “Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane.” Still, the gist was zombies on a plane.) The next…

Thanks to social media, this weekend I noticed many of my friends saying they’d either been to, or were preparing to go see, The Woman in Black. I had it in my mind that it didn’t come out until March…

With the release of The Devil Inside this past weekend, which didn’t get high marks from critics but which was the number one movie at the box office, I thought it’d be fun to check out other horror movies for…

Back in September of 2010 we visited Quebec City on our 10-day Canada/New England cruise. This was a Bucket List destination for me. It was even more powerful visiting it when we did because we were celebrating some huge milestones…
