MURDER, MADNESS & THE MACABRE

Rob Hatch, Producer of the Baltimore 48-Hour Film Project, in collaboration with the world-renowned Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA), proudly presents “48 Hours of Madness: A Cinematic Celebration of Edgar Allan Poe”, a series of free film screenings on December 4 and 11, 2009, each beginning at 8:00 p.m. at the BMA.

In honor of this year’s bicentennial of Poe’s birth, 17 filmmakers from around the greater Baltimore area selected a Poe character and line and were assigned one of three themes from the BMA’s exhibit, “Edgar Allan Poe: A Baltimore Icon”. This event explores how different filmmakers and filmmaking teams took such themes as Fear and Terror, Love and Loss, and Madness and Obsession and turned them into dark, macabre, humorous and surreal cinematic visions.

Different films will be shown at each screening, and the museum will open at 6:00 p.m. for this special event. For more information, visit http://www.artbma.org/calendar/films.html#Film or http://www.48hourfilm.com/baltimore.

Ghost Adventures head back to Washoe Club this Friday

The guys head back to where it all began at the Washoe Club in Virginia City Nevada. They are re-visiting the location where they got their first documented video evidence of a ghost. The reason for their return is that several investigators have recently caught voices inside the Washoe Club calling out Zak and Nick by name. 

The voices don't have nice things to say. Fellow investigators Mark and Debbie Constantino show the guys some EVP's saying, "Nick Groff," "Hate Nick," and "Zak look out." It appears the these spirits have unfinished business with Zak, Nick, and Aaron. 

The guys will also be locked down in a location they did not visit during their previous investigation: The Chollar Mine. It is said that there are spirits of miners still stuck inside the mine. Countless men have died inside the mine thanks to fires, falls, electrocution. Once locked down, the guys hear the sounds of people working inside the mine.

Nice Write up from The Baltimore Sun's Read Street

"There are only 12 days till Halloween. Do you know where your zombies are?

If I were you, I'd start looking in Hampden, at Atomic Books to be precise. And if you've got no luck there, the Internet is always a good way to go.

This year's Rigor Mortis might be hard to spot, though. It's camouflaged behind a clown cover; an evil-looking clown with a a bright red nose and an undead head beneath his arm, to be precise."
