The same way George Foster Kane died alone in his big mansion, but someone knew
his last words were "Rosebud."  If you can ask the question, you haven't
managed a successful suspension of disbelief.

Ida know.

When I was in Tennessee, I tried to buy a former funeral home.  Big place, good
location, OK price.  Pity my job went Poof.  But I was already living in a
haunted house, and I've been with two relatives as they died, so the label of
"former funeral home" didn't trouble me.

As for the movie - I thought it was maybe B-.  There was actually an attempt to
have a story and some suspense and some creeps without lots of cheap gore.  I
thought the ending rather lame, though.

I kind of hesitant to jump on the band wagon for this new Sherlock Holmes film
becasue I'm really not sure what direction the movie is going in. Will it be a
goofy comedy; some modern re-imagining of Holmes in much the way Hollywood did
with "The Mummy" franchise by turning it into an Indiana Jones style vehicle for
Brandon Frazier; or are they going to make it a straight forward gothic
thriller?
I have the feeling it's going to go the way of Universal's new "The Mummy"
series since it cast Robert Downey Jr., and while that's not all that bad - as a
Holmes fan I'd love to see a major studio make a big budget project out of a
Doyle story as written. Not quite sure Robert Downey Jr. would fit the bill as
Doyle's vision of Sherlock Holmes ... but I've learned not to pre-judge a film
before it comes out based on casting because I thought Jack Black would be a
disaster and really screw up Peter Jackson's "King Kong" with his usually
hijinx, but he did a credible job and my initial fears were unwarranted.
But for the record - it was the release of the new Sherlock Holmes film that
prompted me to make Holmes films this week's theme.

I guess because it's a purely escapist fantasy movie just like the Sinbad tales,
the Godzilla movies, the Star Wars saga, the Harry Potter films, and all other
fantasy films that are meant to be enjoyed for their entertainment value and not
dissected for lapses of logic. I'm sure any Doctor worth his salt could make a
strong case as to why a wooden puppet could never literally become a flesh and
blood boy like Pinocchio … but what's the point. We all know it's a fantasy
tale. Just like "King Kong". And at no time does anyone try to insinuate it's
based on actual events. So we all just strap ourselves in and go along for the
ride.

As far as stories of haunted houses go,I tend to believe in the adage to not
believe in anything i hear,and to only believe in half of what i see.
From my readings it was stated that families who lived in the house before and
after the Snedekers inhabited the house reported they didn't have any such
supernatural problems.Although some families did report some odd
occurrences,nothing was reported the same as the Snedekers had claimed.Another
family also reported weird phenomena occuring.When families were interviewed it
is reported that they contradicted their stories.
People who live there currently have reported no problems except with curious
onlookers who stand in the streets and even come up to the house every now and
than.To tell you the truth i dont know if this is the same famnily.The article
is a few years old.You can believe what you want to.

Subject: [CreatureFeatures] Secret Cinema Saturday Night - The Adventures Of
Sherlock Holmes

 
This week at The Secret Cinema we take a brief detour from our usual horror fare
and take a side-road down a shadowy path of mystery and intrigue, as we spend an
evening with London's most famous Consulting Detective, Sherlock Holmes.
For many the definitive Sherlock Holmes will always be Basil Rathbone and his
bumbling assistant Nigel Bruce as Doctor John Watson; others favor Jeremy Brett
from the Granada TV series; and then there are the non-Sherlock fans whose only
encounter with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective is the 1959 Hammer Films
production of "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" with Peter Cushing as Sherlock
Holmes.
But whomever you prefer there is a Sherlock Holmes mystery that's bound to grab
your attention, whether it's either of the two films pitting Holmes against the
infamous Whitechapel killer Jack The Ripper – "A Study In Terror" or "Murder
By Decree"; his battle with cocaine addition aided by Sigmund Freud "The Seven
Per Cent Solution": or the fanciful Stephen Spielberg production speculating on
the early years of "Young Sherlock Holmes".
And for those who prefer a little comedy and parody there is the excellent
"Without A Clue" with the premise that it was in fact Watson with the brains and
Holmes was the bumbling fool who received all the credit; the Billy Wilder
comedy "The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes"; Gene Wilder's "Sherlock Holmes'
Smarter Brother"; Monty Python alumni John Cleese as an incompetent Holmes in
"The Strange Case Of The End Of Civilization As We Know It"; or the George C
Scott tale "They Might Be Giants" about a delusional x-judge who believes he is
Sherlock Holmes and the psychiatrist assigned to help him – who coincidentally
is named Dr. Watson – is his assistant. And together with a band of loonies
are in pursuit of Professor Moriarity.
Below you will find a list of Sherlock Holmes tales and the actors who played

Have you seen the short animated film the Sam character from 'Trick 'r Treat'
was based on?  It's pretty neat and only takes about 4 minutes to watch.

Here it is if anyone is interested:

Sorry you didn't like 'Trick 'r Treat' as much as I did, Mike.  I thought it was
the best horror film I've seen in years.  The only problem I had was that one
story with the kid's head. It was a bit too gory for my taste.  I thought it was
over all very imaginative and the best Halloween themed movie I've seen since
'Halloween'.

I can't disagree with you more, Fulloon.  I thought "A Haunting in Conneticutt"
was one of the best "haunted house" movies I've ever seen.  It was also based on
a true story.  As for remodeled funeral homes, it's possible that could happen
if the buyer doesn't know that it was a funeral home at one time.  Also, a lot
of people like that creepieness.  I had a ball at Bartonville back in October. 
Another reason why some one might be enclined to move into a home that use to be
a funeral home, is maybe the price was right.  If I could get an old creep house
like that for an unrealisticly low price, I just might jump at it.

First of all,why would anyone buy a remodeled funeral home?horror movies are
creepy enough without having to actually living the nightmare,,as well.
This movie was prepossterous with it's claims.THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was
scarier than this movie.It's CONNETICUTT,so shouldn't some of those ghosts be
wearing tennis wear and carrying rackets?I could understand the boy seeing
things as was explained in the movie,however the rest of the story was alittle
OUT THERE.There is one explanation.Living in a funeral home could make almost
anyone think theya are seeing the boogeyman!If they wanted to save money they
should have rented an apartment and saved the made up stories to the
politicians!

It's science, that's why!

Why is it that on SKULL ISLAND the insects and creatures are gigantuan,even the
dinosaurs,but none of the tribesmen were above normal heighth?
How is it that the rest of the World has not discovered the inhabitants of SKULL
ISLAND?As big as those flying insects are,they could easily travel from Island
to Island.Maybe passing ships would have caught a glimpse?
Why would all of those creatures be INVISIBLE DOG FENCED to SKULL ISLAND and not
found elsewhere?

Here's my picks:

1) Murder by Decree - 1979 - James Mason made a great Watson. And who better for
Holmes to go after than Jack the Ripper.

2) A Study in Terror - 1965 - Holmes again after Jack.

3) Young Sherlock Holmes - 1985 - Don't forget to watch after the end credits
pass.

4) The Seven Percent Solution - 1976 -What ever became of Nichol Williamson
anyway ?  Seems like he stopped making films. To bad...

5) The Hound of the Baskervilles - 1959 - Would have been #1 but I just saw it.

I've been a Sherlock Holmes fan for as long as I can remember.
I can even recall watching the old 50s' series with Ronald Howard as a kid. I
bought a five disc collection recently and it really stirred up the old
memories.
My Dad turned me on to Sherlock Holmes when I was just a hair taller than a
calabash pipe, and he and I would spend many a Sunday afternoon watching the
movies featuring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce on WGN.
I always considered Rathbone and Bruce to be the definitive Holmes and Watson
until I began watching the Jeremy Brett series. I've read all the original
Holmes adventures – as well as the many newer tales by a variety of writers
carrying on the Holmes tradition – and feel Brett played the role much closer to
the character as written by Arthur Conan Doyle. He had all the quirks down pat.
Plus the Jeremy Brett episodes were based on the Doyle stories while the
Rathbone series strayed much too far from the source material by pitting Holmes
and Watson against the Nazi War Machine – and I prefer my Holmes tales to
reflect the Victorian era of the original stories.
Since we only get five picks I've tried to spread around the wealth and
acknowledge the work of five different actors – each excellent in their own way.

1.) Murder By Decree - (This is highly recommended for fans of the Johnny Depp
film "From Hell" because it follows the similar plotline of a conspiracy to
protect the Royal Family, implications of Masons involvement, and the tandem of
an insane Surgeon and a bloodthirsty sword wielding coachman accomplice as the
pair responsible for The Ripper murders. This movie actually came before "From
Hell" so keep that in mind … before dismissing it as a blatant rip-off of "From
Hell". The movie has an all star cast which includes Christopher Plummer as
Holmes, James Mason as Watson, and luminaries such as Donald Sutherland, Sir
John Gielgud, David Hemmings, Susan Clark, Frank Finlay, Genevieve Bujold,
Anthony Quayle, and Chris Wiggins (of the TV series Friday The 13th). The movie
is directed by Bob Clark who also directed the horror classic "Black Christmas".
Christopher Plummer brings a depth of emotion to Holmes never seen on the screen
before, especially his scene in the insane asylum with poor Anne Crook. This is
a first rate production.)

2.) The Hound Of The Baskervilles (1959) – (With so many versions of the Doyle
classic to choose from I opted for the stylish Hammer version with Peter Cushing
as Holmes. Until I saw "Murder By Decree" and the Jeremy Brett series I
considered Cushing's interpretation of Holmes to be one of the best. He too
possessed many of the quirky mannerisms that made the Brett Holmes so close to
the source material.)

3.) The Last Vampyre – (This feature length Jeremy Brett mystery from the
Granada series is an excellent gothic thriller with elements of the
supernatural, making it a natural selection for a Secret Cinema feature.)

4.) The Seven Percent Solution – (Another great cast elevates this well above
the average Holmes mystery, and the inclusion of Historic figures into the story
adds to the fun. It was suggested that Holmes was an occasional user of cocaine
in the Doyle mysteries but reference to his drug use was never hinted at in the
Universal series for fear it would tarnish their hero. Although at the
conclusion of either "The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes" or "The Hound Of The
Baskervilles" (I can't recall exactly just now) Holmes says to Watson while
leaving the room … "Watson, the needle". Well in "The Seven Percent Solution" –
which refers to the amount of cocaine in his solution – his cocaine addition is
met head-on. And Watson tricks Holmes into meeting with Sigmund Freud in hope of
curing him of his dependence – and in the process a mystery and adventure
ensues; leading to an exciting climax on a train.)

5.) The Pearl Of Death – (There is no way I could omit Basil Rathbone from my
list of Sherlock Holmes movies – and what better adventure than one involving
that spine snapping murderer `The Creeper' played by Rondo Hatton. I plan to
have a Rondo Hatton Secret Cinema in the future – but for the present I'll list
"The Pearl Of Death" in hope others follow suit and he makes this his first
appearance at The Secret Cinema. I'll leave it up to the individuals as to who
is the best Sherlock Holmes … its a matter of personal taste, like picking your
favorite James Bond. But the team of Rathbone and Bruce were my introduction to
the world of Sherlock Holmes and  Doctor Watson – and for that I will be forever
grateful.)
