Have you ever heard of the Torso Murderer? I thought it sounded familiar when it first came up in “Phantom Hand,” the premiere episode for season 2 of The Holzer Files. However, when I looked into it more I realized I was probably confusing it with the Torso Killer. BothContinue Reading
The Holzer Files season 2 returns Halloween week as part of Travel Channel’s Ghostober lineup. I had a chance to talk with the show’s stars, Dave Schrader, Cindy Kaza, and Shane Pittman ahead of their season premier on Thursday, October 29. Like I do before calls with other Travel ChannelContinue Reading
Scream 5 is really happening, but when can we expect to watch Ghostface’s return and who will he be tormenting this time? Scream is one of my all-time favorite horror movies. I remember being a little shocked when Scream 2 came out, but horror movie sequels for successful films areContinue Reading
Leave it to 2020 to have a milestone-marking full moon on Halloween, which hasn’t happened in decades. Specifically, the last time there was a full moon on Halloween in all time zones was 76 years ago on October 31, 1944. The Farmer’s Almanac reported that in 2001 there was aContinue Reading
This is it. The homestretch we’ve been waiting for. Travel Channel’s Ghostober 7 Nights of Frights countdown to Halloween. Due to me not paying attention, however, I failed to post this earlier, so I’m starting at October 27 instead of 26. The two-hour Shock Doc special “This is Halloween” premieredContinue Reading
Technically the second season of Destination Fear started on April 29, 2020. I had a chance to talk haunted road trips with Dakota Laden, Chelsea Laden, and Tanner Wiseman back then, but the second half of Destination Fear season 2 premieres Saturday, October 24, as part of Travel Channel’s GhostoberContinue Reading
Several years ago we took a jaunt to Istanbul. One of the places we visited was the Basilica Cistern. Something I’d forgotten we’d done was to search for the Medusa heads that we heard were down there. (Yes. Plural. Heads.) I was reminded of that adventure, though, when a viewerContinue Reading
The other day I recorded a Halloween episode with my A Haunt Mess podcast ghoulfriends, Deedee and Sara. (Hence the get up in the photo.) One of the things we had planned to do for the episode was to share a real ghost story. I didn’t decide until the dayContinue Reading
A few months ago I wrote my review for the new horror film, The Unfamiliar. While the movie was admittedly not very good, I was impressed by the performance of the lead actress, Jemima West. She’s had starring roles in films like The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, as wellContinue Reading
Halloween is inching closer, and it wouldn’t be a spooky celebration without an appearance from the “First Family of Darkness” themselves. Get ready for a family fright night like no other when the Osbournes (Jack, Kelly, Sharon, and Ozzy) go on their first-ever paranormal investigation together. The two-hour special, “TheContinue Reading
Ghost Nation season 2 premieres Saturday, October 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Travel Channel. I got the chance to talk with two of the show’s stars, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango, about a couple of specific episodes, including the season 2 premiere, “Evil Ink,” and the Halloween night crossoverContinue Reading
September is a celebration month around Haunt Jaunts headquarters. Two birthdays and a wedding anniversary, and this year one of the birthdays happened to be a milestone (50) and so was the anniversary (25). I had big trips planned to mark these occasions, but we all know how that storyContinue Reading
