This game is a lot of fun! The idea is that you pick from a set of characters with different attributes to form your party and then together you built the haunted house. You take turns drawing tiles that have different rooms on them, creating a multi-story, very spooky house. There are a few ways to do so but eventually, you start the haunt. At this point, depending on how the haunt started, you pull out a guide that tells you what is haunting the house. Sometimes its the party against the game and sometimes one of the players is turned and they get a special set of rules to try and help the game beat the party. There are a lot of different haunting options, so the game feels fresh and exciting even after you have played it several times. The game is complex but after you play once you get the idea and it is easier upon replays. Definitely a great choice for board game lovers!
  
Tales Of Witches, Ghosts and Goblins by Vincent Price
(0 Ratings)
Album Favorite

"Here, Vincent Price is reciting all the witches' spells from a place I can't quite remember in England. It was meant to be around a Halloween vibe, which in the Catskills is everything. That's our Christmas, that's our New Year, May Day, Wicker Man… that's our pagan holiday supreme. Holiday ornaments are already out right now - you can go into any store and buy Halloween stuff. Growing up here, it wasn't a stretch that these kinds of records would be played by my mother or at elementary school almost ad nauseam. I became so inoculated to spooky, scary stories that they just became like urban legends. Another case of a children's story narration that was entrancing. These weren't just songs, these were whole inner emotional moments for young kids like me. When you're six and hearing about witches, ghosts and goblins, it's permeating your whole being and likely to shape the rest of your life, certainly in terms of the possibility of a supernatural world. Or probable, in my case."

There are so many great things in this podcast, I sat down to listen to 10 minutes and ended up binging a few episodes by accident. There's fantastic humour, a selection of popular and obscure horror films, skits that will make you chuckle and a super bonus occasionally of cat content... oooh, plus a feature called Pets In Peril which is something I didn't even know I needed!

Apart from all that... the host's voice sounds like it has been pulled out of a classic horror film, or perhaps from narrating The Twilight Zone, it's glorious and I have never heard such beautiful swearing.

Possibly the most impressive thing is the production, this is a gold standard for podcasting as far as I'm concerned. I don't think I've heard such a fantastically crafted piece of audio. All of those things above were wonderful on their own, but add in sound effects and music and well... it's spooky season, go and check it out yourself and see why I love it so much.
  
Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

Thir13en Ghost: is a remake horror movie that was distributed by Dark Castle Entertainment, that relased the remakes of The Haunting and House on Haunted Hill both terrible films. So how is this film, its not terrible, but not great.

The plot: A state-of-the-art remake of the classic William Castle horror film about a family that inherits a spectacular old house from an eccentric uncle. There's just one problem: the house seems to have a dangerous agenda all its own. Trapped in their new home by strangely shifting walls, the family encounters powerful and vengeful entities that threaten to annihilate anyone in their path

The main problem with this movie is that their dont explain the ghosts backstories and you have to look them up. Their are distubing and i wish the film explain them.

Other than that, i think the film is good and is better than the pervious dark castle films remakes.

I think this movie is underrated and should be watched.

The New Mutants (2020)
2020 | Action, Horror, Sci-Fi
Absolutely the last gasp of the original X Men movie franchise essentially gets a dump release, which to be honest it deserves. Five young people with burgeoning mutant powers are confined in a spooky old hospital; they variously squabble and bond while creepy things happen around them.

Interesting idea to do a horror movie using Marvel characters: the problem is that this one isn't very frightening (flat characters and too much bland CGI); the script and performances aren't strong enough to support the introspective tone and inert feel of the movie. Plus, the story is built around a conceit which is very, very easy to guess if you're familiar with these characters. A couple of half-decent performances and the climax (when it most resembles a conventional superhero movie) acquires a certain momentum, but it feels very drab and pointless. Maybe the corporate politics that have kept the film stuck on a shelf for years haven't helped, but I doubt this could ever have been much more impressive.
