Actually if they were looking for a metal with lead-like characteristics pure
gold would probably be a good substitute.  Maybe they should use a double barrel
shotgun if the gold round doesn't work, they can fall back on the silver. 
Perhaps werewolves are like cockroaches.  Since there's no silver in an atomic
bomb I don't think, maybe they and cockroaches would be the only creatures left.
Well them and the Morlocks.

I think it was UNIVERSAL STUDIOS that invented the silver bullet aa a killing
agent against the werewolf.

When the original "The Wolf Man" was produced, Hollywood needed a "supernatural"
way to kill a wearwolf, so they came up with the idea of silver in the blood
stream being leathel to wearwolvs.  The same deal was extended to vampires in
later  years.  "Dark Shadows," had a scene where Barnabass Collins was shot with
regular lead bullets, and mentions that if the bullets were silver, they would
have worked.  Then he kills the guy who shot him.  But that has nothing to do
with the original lor.  In fact, most of what you see in wearwolvs and vampires
are Hollywood embelishments.  Vampires, especialy, according to authentic
Romanian lor, are disgusting walking corpses.  "Nosferatu," was a more authentic
depiction of a vampire according to the athencit legends.  The suave,
sophisticated, handsome young man who chilled our blood through the acting
talents of Bela Lugosi, Johnathin Frid, or Jack Palance were strictly a
Hollywood invention to sell movie tickets, or in the case of "Dark Shadows," to
get tv ratings.

In THE REAL WOLFMAN scientific testing was used to prove not just how difficult
it would be to kill a werewolf but any animal from that distance,unless one
important criteria was met.It made senxe.

movie.People will be scratching their heads and wondering for along time.

There are many people who have had alleged encounters with things that go bump

Ah, that explains why some places I checked said it will be released Dec. 15th.
2009. but you could buy it used for up to $80.
I think I'll wait and get it at Wal-Mart. They have it listed for $8.86.

Must be a re-issue because "Murder By Decree" was released quite some time ago.
I bought my copy a few years ago and assumed it was still available.
Well if it had been out of print I'm glad to know it's being re-issued. This is
really a great flick whether you like Sherlock Holmes or not. Highly recommended
for fans of "From Hell" and other Jack The Ripper films.

Drat, were a month early with this. Murder By Decree '79  gets its DVD release
the 15th of next month.
No one around here has old VHS copies anymore, so if it wins I'll have to settle
on one or more of the other titles. Sigh,I tried.

It was also surrounded by reefs and a thick fog bank. As for the natives, some
may have ventured past the reefs into the open ocean in their little canoes
never to be heard of again.
To me a bigger question would be, how did they build that wall with all those
monsters running around the island. LOL

yeah but Amityville was a proven hoax, the Father even admitted it at one point
while being interviewed years ago. I thought both versions of AH fell WAY short
of the book. But then, I've never been a fan of possession-type movies-

Actualy, killing a wearwolf and vampires with silver was strictly a Hollywood
invention, and has absolutely no basis in authentic wearwolf or vampire lor. 
When the original "The Wolf Man" was produced, Hollywood needed a "supernatural"
way to kill a wearwolf, so they came up with the idea of silver in the blood
stream being leathel to wearwolvs.  The same deal was extended to vampires in
later  years.  "Dark Shadows," had a scene where Barnabass Collins was shot with
regular lead bullets, and mentions that if the bullets were silver, they would
have worked.  Then he kills the guy who shot him.  But that has nothing to do
with the original lor.  In fact, most of what you see in wearwolvs and vampires
are Hollywood embelishments.  Vampires, especialy, according to authentic
Romanian lor, are disgusting walking corpses.  "Nosferatu," was a more authentic
depiction of a vampire according to the athencit legends.  The suave,
sophisticated, handsome young man who chilled our blood through the acting
talents of Bela Lugosi, Johnathin Frid, or Jack Palance were strictly a
Hollywood invention to sell movie tickets, or in the case of "Dark Shadows," to
get tv ratings.

   Actually, the story "There Shall Be No Darkness" explained why silver
   (whether a bullet, knife, or club) works to kill a werewolf. It was a well
   written story and worth a look. To sum up, a "kill shot" isn't necessary.
   Just hitting the bloodstream would be enough to kill them.

   How true that may be is still up for debate.

   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.

By computer of course.  Maybe you could program in all of the evil ungodliness
of the werewolves and all the goodness and lovely properties of silver and run a
computer simulation.  Whatever the computer tells us must be true.  I mean who's
smarter than a computer?  "Ph'hglui  mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh and Steve Jobs,

   Of course they are. It's supposedly the silver it's made of, not the bullet
that kills them. And how do you do a lab test against something that's not real?

What's the deal with silver?  Is it supposed to be cleaner or more holy? 
Actually if they were looking for a metal with lead-like characteristics pure
gold would probably be a good substitute.  Maybe they should use a double barrel
shotgun if the gold round doesn't work, they can fall back on the silver. 
Perhaps werewolves are like cockroaches.  Since there's no silver in an atomic
bomb I don't think, maybe they and cockroaches would be the only creatures left.
Well them and the Morlocks.

Actually, I've had a few encounters that defy explanation. I believe I did
see a ghost once in my life and I've known they were around on several
occasions.

I'm not saying that you're wrong in what you believe, mind you. Just that
some people never have any encounters with things they can't explain and
some can't seem to stop having them.

Such is the way of life.

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

That's very possible Mike. As for the rest, those answers lie beyond the
veil and we won't be privy to them until we cross the threshold.

Which won't be for a very long time yet, hopefully.

Katrina it does make sense that any spirits would save their anger for those
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
maybe wants to communicate with anyone who passes by and has that '6th sense
  to hear him so he can tell that person who's responsible for his or her
suffering or murder.

Now I personaly do not believe that people actualy come back from the dead
as ghosts.  I believe that the soul upon seperation from the body will go to
Heaven hell or Purgatory.  My theory as to what causes hauntings is that the
brain gives off energy.  When something really horbie happens like a murder
or severe abuse like in the case of Bartonville a huge ammount of brain
energy is released and stored up in the building or surroundings.  Abandoned
prisons and mental institutions are rife with those kind fo stories and it
doesn't suprise me because so many horible things were done to people in
those places.  When I went to Bartonville last month I actualy did feel a
sense of sadness and hopelessness when I poked 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 but you never know.  Just by being
there however most people know that this was truely a house of human misery
and suffering.

Probably but, if I remember correctly, they did explain much of the mystery
of Skull Island. It was very interesting and worth seeing.
