Ugh
This movie was weak. The cinematography/effects was the only good part and that was just "ok". The acting was terrible and the storyline didn't seem to know what it wanted to be-a psycho killer movie or a ghost story. I almost stopped watching it halfway through but figured I should at least finish it. I regret that decision. This one is considered a horror movie but there's nothing "horror" about it. NOT worth a watch!

Emma Whitecastle discovers she can see ghosts when her great-great grandmother appears to her demanding that Emma solve her century old murder. This was a fun debut that suffered just slightly from a weak ending. Keeping in mind I'm not normally a supernatural mystery guy, I am looking forward to the next one.

I feel the magic
This film for me is magical. I know loads of people says it creeps them out, but to me it just takes me back to those moments when I was a child and felt as if Santa was real. It is just pure wonder and awe and a great adventure. i love that they add some ghost elements as well in a nod to Christmas traditions of old.

Surprisingly decent
Ok this haunted house/ghost story turned out better than expected. Started off a little slow but picked up and took off with interesting tales and some creepy creatures. If you're into horror stories this is a good one. The acting was not the greatest but ther effects and stories had plenty of grossness and spookiness to make up for it. Nothing too scary for the younger crowd(IF they're not too young). Worth a watch!

The Regrets is an interesting, yet strange story about love, life, death, desire, certainty, and uncertainty. I thought it was going to be a straight-up love story between a ghost and a human, because I'd only skimmed the jacket synopsis, but it ended up being more complicated than that. It was a quick read. I'm not sure I'd nominate it for my book club to read, but it was an oddly interesting story, in its own right.

Classic Chiller!
Classic chiller from Peter Straub. An epic tale about a group of ageing men who form The Chowder Society, a place where they share ghosts stories between them, and are united by a terrible secret from the past. Expertly written, solid characters, and genuinely creepy, this is Peter Staub on top form. Essential reading!
Note: If you enjoy this I seriously recommend his equally fantastic ghost story Full Circle (aka Julia/ The Haunting of Julia).
