The Ouija Files: Murch Meets The Blue Ghost in Chicago
 |
I saw a ghost this past weekend. Seriously, it’s true. After all the paranormal conferences I’ve attended and the many ghost hunts I’ve been on, I finally came face to face with a ghost. Not just any ghost mind you, but one that’s been haunting American living rooms for over seven decades. Nope, I hadn’t been drinking, I wasn’t doing drugs, and no I didn’t have a mental break down. I came face to face with a ghost, and I have photos and a witness to prove it, but I’ll get to all that in a bit.
Earlier this year I’d been invited to speak at Ursula Bielski’s Chicago Ghost Conference. I first met Ursula many moons ago at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. I love Ursula. She’s obsessed with the history and ghost lore of Chicago and I can relate to that. I get being obsessed with something. I’d never been to Chicago before so I jumped at the chance.
Most people don’t know it, but Chicago is arguably the Talking Board Capital of the World. Officially branded Ouija boards were made there for over a year starting in 1891 and J.M. Simmons’ Ouija boards were made in record numbers beginning in 1919. He made so many Ouija boards over the years that he was dubbed the Ouija King of Chicago. Then there are all the other talking board companies that exploded in the 40’s. For a time, the talking board business and Chicago went together like peas and carrots.

'Sleepy Hollow' Recap: 'Magnum Opus'

| Courtesy Fox |
Well, here we are. Part One of the "Sleepy Hollow" mid-season finale. Let's do this.
Desperate to clear their minds, Crane and Abbie play a Guess Who game when Katrina appears in a mirror to tell them that she's failed - Moloch still lives. Henry though is able to activate her connection and listens in as the cobwebs shake loose and free association leads them to the anagram of Enoch's Sword. Dammit Katrina, this is why you always clear your browsing history! Jenny and Irving are on the run for the border but Sheriff Reyes is hot on their tail so Abbie lets her sister know. Think you can kiss that FBI transfer good-bye now Leftenant. But back to the matter at hand, the sword of Enoch which was actually Methusela's sword given to Enoch to cut down 1000 demons. Ben Franklin (drink), hid the map to the spot where the sword lies in the symbolism of a snake which matches up exactly with a river. How enterprising of him. But they must know themselves completely or they will perish according to the prophecy. So it's like Mjolnir then but more deadly.
Ryan Buell to Release 'Power Rangers' Graphic Novel

| Courtesy Ryan Buell's Facebook |
My first comic book hits stores next week. I love "Power Rangers" so I jumped at the chance to help add to the canon. This issue tells the back story of the green ranger. We all, as kids, wanted to know more about him. So, Saban Entertainment, Stefan and Papercutz allowed me to play god and create his backstory. Oddly enough he looks more and more like me. Mwahahahhaaha! Just kidding. If you're a Power Rangers nerd, give me a shout out! And please buy the issue. I tried to make it funny as hell. And some inside jokes also!!! http://papercutz.com/shop-all/mighty-morphin-power-rangers-vol-2.
Here is the description for the comic:
This is the story Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fans have been waiting over 20 years for—the untold story of the origins of Tommy—the Green Ranger! How did Rita Repulsa choose this teen over others to wage war against the Rangers? This is the only place to find out.
Note to fans: This graphic novel takes place right before the classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episode “Green with Evil.”

In 1963, the U.S. government launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world.

The Shat hits the fan next year on Haven! William Shatner (Star Trek) is set to guest star in a four-episode arc on the Syfy fan-favorite series in 2015. Shatner will play a pivotal character that has the potential to forever impact the fate of the town of Haven and its troubled residents.
This year, Haven (airing Fridays at 7PM ET/PT), barrels towards its game-changing mid-season finale with the last two episodes of 2014.
In “Chemistry” (airing November 28), divided loyalties put Haven’s heroes at odds with one another, while a terrifying revelation changes everything. Jay Reso – also known as WWE Superstar Christian Cage – appears in the episode, reuniting with his real-life, lifelong friend and former tag-team partner, Adam Copeland (WWE Superstar Edge Rated R), who plays Dwight. In a recurring guest role, Reso will play McHugh, one of Dwight’s oldest and closest friends.
Then, in the mid-season finale “Chosen” (December 5), a shocking revelation threatens to upend the fragile stability of Haven. Mara’s endgame is finally revealed, while Audrey (Emily Rose) and Nathan (Lucas Bryant) pursue a plan to stop her once and for all.
There’s more Haven to come as the series returns to Syfy in 2015 with 13 all-new episodes. Shatner, Reso, Laura Mennell (Alphas) and Kris Lemche (Joan of Arcadia) are among the guest stars to be featured when the series returns next year.

The Ouija Files: Talking Board Historical Society Goes Public
Fans of Ouija now have a new avenue to celebrate their passion for the mysterious talking boards. This week, the Talking Board Historical Society debuted a new Facebook page that exploded in popularity overnight. Though formally established last year, the society’s roots trace back to 2008 as a loose affiliation of talking board collectors and enthusiasts brought together by talking board historian Robert Murch. The group is now raising its public profile in advance of 2015’s OuijaCon, set to take place in Baltimore on April 23-25.
The group’s most famous effort is erecting the talking board-inspired headstone at the unmarked grave of Ouija patentee Elijah Bond in Baltimore’s historic Green Mount Cemetery, which has since become the historic cemetery’s most-requested gravesite. In addition, they successfully petitioned the city of Baltimore to recognize William Fuld’s Harford Avenue Ouija factory, built in 1919, as a historical landmark, which became the first public landmark in Maryland acknowledging the city’s Ouija history. Next, the group hopes to honor the contributions of the medium Helen Peters Nosworthy to Ouija and American history, and is raising funds to place a marker at her grave commemorating her for giving the board its iconic name.
Horror-Themed Game Show 'Hellevator' Coming to GSN
Deadline offers the following descriptions of both programs:
"Hellevator"
The horror-themed game show Hellevator features contestants entering a dark, mysterious warehouse – via an ominous-looking elevator – where they will compete in a series of scary, suspenseful and emotionally exhausting challenges. Only the survivors will make it out as winners. Hellevator is produced by Matador and Blumhouse Productions in association with Lionsgate Television. Matador’s Jay Peterson and Todd Lubin executive produce. Blumhouse Productions’ Jason Blum (“Paranormal Activity,” “The Purge,” “Insidious” and “Sinister” franchises), who won a 2014 Emmy® Award for “The Normal Heart,” also executive produces.
"Steampunk'd"
Steampunk’d is a wildly creative competition series featuring talented artists, designers and inventors who create “Steampunk,” a popular genre of science fiction and fantasy that fuses modern technology and Victorian Age aesthetics to turn everyday objects into works of art. Contestants will be challenged to marry objects from the past and present in order to create futuristic designs and inventions. Dramatic reveals each week will build to a grand finale of a fully Steampunk’d world, so get ready for “before” and “after” like none you’ve ever seen before! Steampunk’d is executive produced by Kimberly Belcher Ehrhard, John Ehrhard (“Hogan Knows Best,” “Miami Social”) and Lauren Stevens of Pink Sneakers Productions.
So what do you guys think of these ideas? Could they work? We'll keep you posted on when the shows will air.

'Sleepy Hollow' Recap: 'Mama'

| Courtesy Fox |
There have been a rash of suicides at Tarrytown Psych where Jenny, Irving and Mama Mills all spent time so Sheriff Reyes assigns the case to Abbie with a free reign. Naturally. Her usual trusty sidekick seems to have fallen victim to the dreaded man-cold and the inability to open child proof containers, clearing the way for the Mills ladies to work their magic. Their allies? A lovesick Hawley, a felled Crane and Captain Irving who is fighting his own demons. Literally. Viewing the security footage of the most recent suicide, they notice a figure in the the corner and it's Mama Mills, back from the grave. Hoo boy. Well, we know that Mama's demons were real but why cause others to choose the same death she chose?
When one white man falls, another will rise to take his place. Enter Hawley, purveyor of maps, charts and special matzoh ball soup for Crane. Clearly in Crane's time this would have meant that they were engaged. General Washington is named-dropped so drink your drink. Not you Crane, you're going sleepy-bye.
Reflections on This Week's 'The Walking Dead:' 'Consumed'
 |
| Courtesy AMC |
The chemistry between Reedus and McBride is evident and this helps give clues into their character's deep relationship. Their interactions are effortless and even little exchanges give clues. I want to bring up a brief interaction I observed when they were in the temporary housing facility that I noticed no one is really talking about. Ready for me to get nit-picky and a bit controversial? Here I go...
Was this a hint at all of those "Daryl might be gay" rumors? Was I just reaching here as a behavioral therapist who notices every little thing? Does it really matter? In a show where pretty much every little nuance means something, it possibly does. Also...why the hell didn't they hook up in that tightly sealed room? It's the zombie apocalypse! Get it on when you can and blow off some steam, ala Abraham-style! Perhaps their history of being abused by people who were supposed to love and keep them safe is a factor? Will Carol even survive her accident thanks to Beth? We probably won't even find out until the second half of the season anyway, will we?
Discuss if you'd like but only after you check out the video that takes us inside this week's episode and then watch the sneak peek of this Sunday's "Crossed."
'The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist' Gets a Release Date
 |
| Farmiga & Wilson as the Warrens |
But wait! There's more! Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson will return as the paranormal dynamic duo of Ed and Lorraine Warren. They'll be tackling the creepy true case of the Enfield Poltergeist which has yielded the title, The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist.
The case of the Enfield Poltergeist stems from the activity that occurred in the late 70s in a home in the borough of Enfield which is in England. Moving and overturned furniture, loud human as well as demonic voices, and levitation of single mom, Peggy Hodgson's kids are just some of the alleged claims that occurred and WARRENted (sorry, not sorry) an investigation of the rented home.
Sounds like a nice mix of paranormal goodness for Hollywood to get its hands on. If it's as scary as the first film, Warner Bros. will achieve more box office gold.
The film is scheduled to start shooting early summer 2015. We'll keep you posted on any new developments.

'Sleep Hollow' Recap: 'Heartless'

| Courtesy Fox |
Last week on "Sleepy Hollow," Henry impregnated his mother, Katrina the Useless Witch, with a Moloch-spider. I wonder what sort of trouble she'll get into this week. Let's do this.
Oh the insidious nature of daytime TV but it does force Crane and Katrina to address the secret elephant in the room - trust. Or lack thereof. You know Katrina, for someone who wants to earn back her husband's trust, you could try to be a little more sincere. While you two have been dancing around the relationship issues, Abbie's been busy tracking Henry who seems to have taken up pottery and organ collection. He's turned over a new leaf? Nah, just raised a succubus who likes nightclubs and nerds. Poor guy. Crane still wants to try to redeem Henry who doesn't seem to want to be redeemed but never mind that - father knows best.
Abraham and Henry enjoy a nice cuppa when the succubus returns and vomits out the soul into a chamber. Jeebus, Henry, you dismiss her without putting her back? Well that's just sloppy. What's this? Katrina is being semi-useful in identifying the cause of death but oh. Oh dear. She just had a fainting spell. Can you make me some quince tea dear? Abraham always had it around and it did calm my nerves. Sorry Leftenant, you are on your own with this one; I must attend to my untrustworthy wife. Where does she go? Hawley (again) who gets shot down (again) and butthurt (again.) No one is having a very good night here.

'Evil Dead' Series Coming to Starz and Bruce Campbell Will Star

| Campbell looking suave as usual (IMDB) |
Here's the logline:
“Bruce Campbell will be reprising his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons –personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its ‘Evil’ grip.”
Campbell knows what fans of the franchise like and stated, “I’m really excited to bring this series to the Evil Dead fans worldwide — it’s going to be everything they have been clamoring for: serious deadite ass-kicking and plenty of outrageous humor."
According to Raimi, who teased this possibility at Comic-Con in July, “Evil Dead has always been a blast. Bruce, Rob, and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to tell the next chapter in Ash’s lame, but heroic saga. With his chainsaw arm and his ‘boomstick,’ Ash is back to kick some monster butt. And brother, this time there’s a truckload of it.”
Did he say boomstick? Hell yes he did! The series will debut on Starz in 2015 and the network's managing director Carmi Zlotnik added, “Starz first worked with Sam and Rob on Spartacus, and we are thrilled to be back in business with them. With Sam writing and directing and Bruce Campbell returning to the screen, we are certain the show will give Evil Dead fans around the world the fix they’ve been craving.”
Let us know what you think of this endeavor. Will it work? Are you looking forward to it?

The Ouija Files: Murch Discovers Exclusive Fuld Artwork
BY BOB MURCH
Ouija spells F-U-L-D-F-A-M-I-L-Y-F-U-N! The board is said to be “more interesting than a mystery story,” I couldn’t have said it better myself. Last month I had the amazing opportunity to help promote the new movie and Winning Moves’ Ouija Classic when Jeff Belanger and I spoke at an event for them in Salem, Massachusetts. I finally got to meet Irena who handles marketing for Winning Moves. She was awesome! She introduced me to her husband Steven who used to work at Parker Brothers. He had some great stories to share.
And then he dropped a bomb. He said that when Hasbro bought Parker Brothers in 1991 and consolidated its files it threw out a bunch of stuff. I’d heard this before and it always makes my heart sink. He saw the look on my face and said “Yup, they threw out a ton of stuff but I did save one piece of Ouija artwork, if you’re interested in it I could mail it to you?” I was dumbstruck, hell yeah I’d love to see it. So, we texted back and forth a few times and the following week the artwork he sent, arrived. I nearly fell off my seat when that iconic image of a man and woman came into focus! Here's a better look at that picture (below). That’s not a print; it’s the actual drawing.

Universal to Release Untitled 'Classic' Monster Movie in 2017
Not to be outdone by Marvel and its cinematic universe, Universal plans on doing something similar...but with their classic movie monsters. According to Variety, Universal's plans to reboot its classic monster franchises and "has dated an untitled monster movie for April 21, 2017."
Helmed by Alex Kurtzman (“Star Trek”) and Chris Morgan (“Fast and Furious” series) it will be a planned series and envelop the world's of the Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Invisible Man and the Creature From the Black Lagoon. However, it's reported that, "Universal has already set a June 24, 2016, launch for its reboot of 'The Mummy' with Kurtzman producing along with Sean Daniel and Roberto Orci."
With the recent release of "Dracula Untold" though, we speculate that this was perhaps the first in the series. Or will it be more like the iconic 1931 Lugosi film? There's never enough movies about that lovable vamp, right? Maybe?
If Universal is going to do this, we hope they keep things on the side of nostalgia. Agreed? If not, let us know what you'd like to see as Universal jumps back on the reboot bandwagon.

The Ouija Files: Murch on His 'Ghost Adventures' with the ZoZo Demon
I've known Zak, Nick, and Aaron a long time. I first met these guys back at a paracon just before their show aired six years and ten seasons ago. I eventually got to work with them in Mansfield, Ohio where they invited me to speak at one of their Ghost Adventures Crew conferences. That's where I met Billy Tolley. I've known Jeff Belanger even longer! I met Jeff back when he was researching his second book of which I somehow made it into. I love that book!
A few months before we filmed the ZoZo episode I got a call from Jeff asking that if "Ghost Adventures" did a Ouija episode, what cases could they consider. Jeff is the writer and a researcher for the show so it made perfect sense. I gave him my top ten Ouija cases and they picked ZoZo.
Darren Evans and I go way back too. I try to chronicle every Ouija case I can and so we met through ZoZo. Darren had a pretty serious run in with an entity that called himself ZoZo and it sent him off on a lifelong journey to understand what ZoZo is and if others had similar experiences. He setup a website and an Internet radio show. Along the way, Darren became the Zozologist. After all these years of phone calls and emails I finally got to meet him and he didn't disappoint.
