Well I'll be pulling for either of the top Baskerville ones as I doubt I can
find a copy of Death By Decree. But I'll start checking around just encase.

Bands are notorious for purchasing used hearses for transporting equipment - and
just being 'different'.

There are several species - possibly a hundred thousand - of insects that only
lives in climate specific areas of the globe such as the Amazon rain forest.
They could not survive in an area where drastic climate changes ... Indiana for
example ... could sustain them. But just because these insects have not migrated
to my backyard doesn't mean they don't exist - it just means nature provides for
them in their tropic region so they don't venture far from their territory. Same
goes for various mammals. New animals are discovered all the time living in an
isolated region.
Discovery Channel had a program about such recent discoveries ... I even think
they called the series "Lost Worlds".
The new animal and insect species were nothing so earth shattering - as living
dinosaurs of giant apes - that the mainstream media would cover these
discoveries as a 'Newsworthy Event'. But these kinds of discoveries are made all
the time as we venture deep into previously unexplored regions. And the reason
these creature remain so illusive is the isolation of the region - and the fact
that everything they require for survival exists within the bubble of existence
– so they seldom venture beyond.
So as improbable as a Skull Island scenario with living dinosaurs and giant
insects may be, in scientific terms it could be possible for an unknown or as
yet unclassified species of large mammal to exist on an isolated land mass
without venturing beyond it's limited eco-system.
Not trying to imply there is some island or jungle out there where giant
monsters exist - especially in light of the fact that in this day and age
cameras on satellites can zero in on a license plate, so something as massive as
King Kong or living dinosaurs would be easier to detect - but back in the
timeframe of the depression era in which "King Kong" was suppose to have taken
place the technology didn't exist, so portions of the planet were still a
mystery.
The mountain gorilla was still considered a myth until its discovery in 1902.

If everyone believed in that logic no one would ever ask the question,WHAT
IF,ever again.We would still be stuck with "ONCE UPON A STIME,and "IT WAS A DARK
AND STORMY NIGHT".Using Pinochio in your example isn't a bad idea,because
everyone likes to see a flawless movie where you can't see the strings hanging
down and illogical plot lines,even in fantasies.In this regard there is nothing
wrong in questioning authority.It is when we get too close to our heroes that we
ofen forget to notice they have feet of clay..For KING KONGS sake,almost
literally.
> As far as "actual events" are concerned,there are some people who believe that
dinosaurs at one time roamed the earth.As far as Hollywood likes to use the
lines,"inspired by actual events","based on a true story" they might have gotten
away with it with the movie,KONG KONG.
> let me expand on my earlier point.I wrote that the giant insects and
dinosaurs,etc never did try to get off of SKULL ISLAND,and that no one else knew
of the creatures on the Island.In JURASSIC PARK,another FANTASY.....spoiler
alert......they tried to contain the dinosaurs and for awhile they were
succesful,but somehting went wrong and they escaped!They discovered that the
INVISIBLE DOG FENCE could not  hold them.I am guessing that someone who was a
fan of KING KONG like myself, must have had the same question about SKULL ISLAND
and just maybe a new movie was born.hmmmmmm.Without our dreams we are all LOST
and destined to stay on that Island and believe that all of the World is flat.

       tHE history channel had a wondeful documentary about a strange beast that
was killing women and children in ?Southern France during the 1700's.A detecive
and cryptologist go to investigate.

One of the things they discovered is the accuracy of a silver bullet versus a
lead bullet.Horror authors should take note.Silver bullets are not as accurate
as lead bullets,nor do they do as much tissue damage as a lead bullet.The
detective and cryptologist not only invesstigated the mystery they solved most
of the mystery.

If you're looking for a history of Skull Island there is a nice documantary as
part of the supplimental features on the Peter Jackson special edition. They
create their own mythology and explain it as best as can be explained.
It also includes a loving re-creation of the Spider Pit missing from the
original film ... or at least what it might have looked like had it been filmed.
Jackson goes all out in the supplimental material to make the whole King Kong
experience a good one. So if you're interested in all the facets of the
production, history, and mythology you might consider giving the supplimental
material a once over. It might answer your questions 0 or simply only muddy the
water more if your looking for a logical emplanation to an island of living
dinosaurs and a giant monkey.

Which one is this? Who played Holmes?

Thanks for your help.I will have to rent KING KONG and seek out the
featurette.Some of it still makes no sense,but that may be a mystery that may
have to stay under wraps.

tHE history channel had a wondeful documentary about a strange beast that was
killing women and children in ?Southern France during the 1700's.A detecive and
cryptologist go to investigate.
One of the things they discovered is the accuracy of a silver bullet versus a
lead bullet.Horror authors should take note.Silver bullets are not as accurate
as lead bullets,nor do they do as much tissue damage as a lead bullet.The
detective and cryptologist not only invesstigated the mystery they solved most
of the mystery.

I don't know of anyone who has ever owned a remodeled car that was once a
hearse.The privately owned hearses i have seen on the road still look like
hearses.lol.I personally wouldn't own one,nor would i intentionally buy a home
that was once used as a funeral home.But thats just me.Another problem
encountered would be the gawkers.People who know the history and stop and get
out to photograph or walk up to your home at all hours to discuss your home with
you.

There you just answered your own question. They'd do the same with a funeral
home.
Besides look at how many are both a funeral home and a family home at the same
time. There's a beautiful funeral/family home in Cadillac MI. that originally
started out as just a family home back in the late 1800's or early 1900's by one
of the founders of the town. It's a huge four story beauty complete with a ball

If everyone believed in that logic no one would ever ask the question,WHAT
IF,ever again.We would still be stuck with "ONCE UPON A STIME,and "IT WAS A DARK
AND STORMY NIGHT".Using Pinochio in your example isn't a bad idea,because
everyone likes to see a flawless movie where you can't see the strings hanging
down and illogical plot lines,even in fantasies.In this regard there is nothing
wrong in questioning authority.It is when we get too close to our heroes that we
ofen forget to notice they have feet of clay..For KING KONGS sake,almost
literally.
As far as "actual events" are concerned,there are some people who believe that
dinosaurs at one time roamed the earth.As far as Hollywood likes to use the
lines,"inspired by actual events","based on a true story" they might have gotten
away with it with the movie,KONG KONG.
let me expand on my earlier point.I wrote that the giant insects and
dinosaurs,etc never did try to get off of SKULL ISLAND,and that no one else knew
of the creatures on the Island.In JURASSIC PARK,another FANTASY.....spoiler
alert......they tried to contain the dinosaurs and for awhile they were
succesful,but somehting went wrong and they escaped!They discovered that the
INVISIBLE DOG FENCE could not  hold them.I am guessing that someone who was a
fan of KING KONG like myself, must have had the same question about SKULL ISLAND
and just maybe a new movie was born.hmmmmmm.Without our dreams we are all LOST
and destined to stay on that Island and believe that all of the World is flat.

I don't know.However,i was sincere with my questions about the SKULL ISLAND.I
really thought there were reasons for why the creatures never left and no one
else,atlesst from the scientific community didn't know.Maybe there really is an
explanation the writer had in mind?

When i approached the questions i had about SKULL ISLAND i was hoping to reae a
dissertation from someown who is a KONG FILE,or atleast an explanation.i thought
that there would be an explanation why things happened the way they did on SKULL
ISLAND.Why the cratures didn't leave.Why the scientific community wasn't the
first to discover SKULL ISLAND.I'm not trying to throw a monkey wrench into the
mix without a reason.

This was never supposed to turn into a Koan,like,what is the sound of one monkey
paw clapping.If vampire movies never shown all of the supernatural magic that
vampires all have,we would  be inclined to think they are all psychotic blood
sucking monsters with no great skills.
You aent giving away anthing,or opening up any secret curtains by opening up the
story by allowing a tribesman,or a lost book to reveal why the creatures are all
imprisoned.Or show they can excape.It just opens up the lens a little wider.When
JACK climbed up the beanstalk and saw the Giants castle for the first
time,knowing what you know now,would you rather he didn't go inside?or what if
LARRY TALBOT only became a wolfman in thought only.You didn't see the elaborate
make up job by JACK PIERCE,would a lessy hairy more SHAKESPEARIAN werewolf hAVE
been better?would JURRASIC PARK been a better movie altogether if none of the
dinosaurs had escaped?Would you rather to  have not  known that?
If you make a fantastic movie,like a horror movie,fantasy,etc and all you do is
throw a lot of cgi around and some acting,and try not to explain anything all
you have left is a mess.Maybe in the writers mind there is meaning,but if very
few people get it,it's of no use.Maybe at art house theatres.Many people may
feel that the story of SKULL ISLAND is alsright without the explanations.however
KING GOND has been remade many times.Maybe one day someone will be curious
enough to rewrite it with all of the questions asked.When HALLOWEEN came out
people thought it was good enough without a remake.however there was a remake
and a different view of the same story.many mixed reactions.There is always
going to be critics to question why a movie did this and not that.If we all
agreed on the same points about the movies discussed that would be boring
YESTERDAY!"i really loved the bad acting and cheap cgi"
"Oh,absolutely"
"Hey,I know i am just preaching to the choir,but who loved that movie,besides
me?"
Anyway,if you felt they didn't need to give us explanations as to why the
mosnsters couldn't leave,or scientists had not known of the Island sooner,so be
it.

Thanks for the tip !  I've never seen this one.

I have this neat device that lets me transmit (wireless) the image from the PC

Yeah, these "based on true events" movies usually only have a passing
resemblence to "true events". The true event may only be the part of someone
moving into a house that used to be a funeral home, but they lead you to beleive
everything in the movie actually happened to someone-

  I can't disagree with you more, Fulloon.  I thought "A Haunting in

lso based on a true story.  As for remodeled funeral homes, it's possible that
ould happen if the buyer doesn't know that it was a funeral home at one time.
lso, a lot of people like that creepieness.  I had a ball at Bartonville back
n October.  Another reason why some one might be enclined to move into a home
hat use to be a funeral home, is maybe the price was right.  If I could get an
ld creep house like that for an unrealisticly low price, I just might jump at
t.


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

Katrina=2C it does make sense that any spirits would save their anger for t=
hose who caused their suffering in life.  It's also possible that a simular=
  scenario that takes place in "The Changeling" can be the case.  A spirit=
=2C maybe wants to communicate with anyone who passes by=2C and has that '6=
th sense' to hear him=2C so he can tell that person who's responsible for h=
is or her suffering or murder.=20
=20
Now I personaly do not believe that people actualy come back from the dead =
as ghosts.  I believe that the soul=2C upon seperation from the body=2C wil=
l go to Heaven=2C hell or Purgatory.  My theory as to what causes hauntings=
  is that the brain gives off energy.  When something really horbie happens=
=2C like a murder or severe abuse=2C like in the case of Bartonville=2C a h=
uge ammount of brain energy is released=2C and stored up in the building or=
  surroundings.  Abandoned prisons and mental institutions are rife with tho=
se kind fo stories=2C and it doesn't suprise me=2C because so many horible =
things were done to people in those places.  When I went to Bartonville las=
t month=2C I actualy did feel a sense of sadness and hopelessness when I po=
ked my camera lenz into the building to shoot the interiors.  I chalk that =
up primarily to knowing the very nature of the place I was visiting=2C but =
you never know.  Just by being there=2C however=2C most people know that th=
is was truely a house of human misery and suffering.

The Bartonville Insane Asylum is located way south of Dwight Ill in Bartonv=
ille Illinois.  Accordign to legend=2C there was an inmate there who could =
not speak=2C other then to cry when ever a fellow inmate died and was burri=
ed.  His occupation was listed as a Bookbinder=2C so that's what everyone t=
here called him. "Old Book=2C" as he got to be known=2C was part of the gra=
ve digging crew=2C and during the funeral service=2C he would lean against =
an old elm tree and cry.  One day=2C "Old Book" himself passed away.  Accor=
ding to legend=2C during his funeral service=2C everyone could hear horrend=
ous sobbing by that very same elm tree=2C including the head doctor.  The d=
octor ordered that the casket be opened to check of "Old Book" was still th=
ere=2C and surely enough he was. =20
=20
As time went on=2C The Bartonville Insane Asylum=2C also known ad the Peori=
a State Hospital for the INcurable Insane=2C and in later years just the Pe=
oria State Hospital=2C was closed down.  Stories of sobbing by the stump of=
  that old tree in the grave yard=2C and stories of the sounds of chains and=
  shcakles rattling=2C the screams of inmates being tortured through electro=
  shock=2C or being emersec in freezing cold water can still be heard.
=20
If you would like to see some of the photos that I shot up at Bartonville=
=2C go to the Yahoo main page and to the "Creature Features" group.  It's i=
n the photos folder. =20

Themclushy=2C my house is also perported to be haunted=2C but given that I'=
ve been living there for 13 years=2C and so far nothing out of the ordinary=
  has happened=2C I tend to dismiss those stories.  A lot of 100 year old ho=
uses have such stories about it=2C but very few of them are authenticly wha=
t you would call haunted.  Most of the stories I've heard abut my house wer=
e sightings of orbe=2C lights in various windows=2C that sort of thing. No =
actual ghosts or chains or anything like that. =20
=20
Again=2C I have nto seen any lights in the windows except for the ones that=
  I turn on=2C and the scariest thing that I ever encountered at my house ha=
ppened in March 2 years ago while I was doing my spring cleaning.  A bat fl=
ew into the house.

Fulloon=2C I never myself encountered a ghost=2C nor do I know anyone who d=
id.  I used the term 'based on a true story' because "A Haunting in Conneti=
cutt" was suposedly based on the real experiences of that family you mentio=
ned.  The paranormal activities at the Bartonville Insane Asylum=2C likewis=
e were suposedly documented and there were many whitnness=2C but when I was=
  there=2C I saw and heard nothing out of the ordinary.  No ghosts jumped ou=
t and  yelled "Boo!" I didn't hear any chains rattling=2C and the electro s=
hock theropy machine did not mysteriously start operating onit's own.   BUT=
=2C it was fun to go there=2C it was fun to take photos of it=2C and true o=
r not=2C 'haunted house' stories are great entertainment=2C IMHO.

Way cool, BUT in my family Holmes is a Sunday afternoon tradition. That is when
WVTV, Channel 18 in Milwaukee would run the Holmes movies. So it was home from
church, dash of the homework and sit down to Holmes, Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto or
Mr. Wong, Detective. My sister and I still get together now and then to recreate
those afternoons, although her kids, with no sense of nostalgia, tend to
interrupt. When they were smaller I could tape them to the wall using Gorilla
brand duct tape, but now.....
