Hello, I am Robert G. Male.
Welcome to WraithStop™. Here you will find links that I think are of interest.
Furthermore these are links that I want to keep track of because they have given me either ideas or some other form of
inspiration for my writing. Links are listed in order lowest to highest both in the date they are given and the order
in which they appear (meaning: read them from the bottom up for a certain day's list). Some of these sites may require

Night #13 The Haunting In Connecticut
 
Ah! It's Hallowe'en! I hope it's red 'n' black, and slimy green for you. As always I have left the best movie for last.
The Haunting In Connecticut is another movie based on a true story. Up until the haunting really shifts into high gear
the story is fairly close to the original incidents. I was thrilled when I found out they were making this movie, and
even more so when I watched the movie and saw what they had done. Let's start with our star Kyle Gallner. You may have
seen him in...

Night #12 The Shining (1980)
 
The night before Hallowe'en, Devil's Night. Can you feel the excitement? Are you ready? Well if not then you should be
after tonight's movie. In a list of movies with infamously haunted places there is one name that towers over the
others. It is called The Overlook Hotel, and it is not real, but most people will know the name nonetheless, even if
they don't recall from where. The Overlook is based for the most part on a real hotel called The Stanley Hotel and is
the creation of...

Night #11 Poltergeist II: The Other Side
 
If you are new to my array of blogs or just have forgotten, my favourite movie of all time, any genre, is the original
Poltergeist. I already told you all about it for last year's Hallowe'en movie. I decided not to repeat myself although
there were more than a couple haunting movies previously covered that I could have tackled again. Poltergeist II: The
Other Side is a great sequel. It didn't have to be as brilliant, or as beautiful as the original, it just had to keep
you involved with...

Night #10 The Amityville Horror (2005)
 
As Hallowe'en draws near and the movies become about bigger, more spectacular, and more infamous hauntings on film.
The Amityville Horror is probably the most talked about haunting on this continent popularised by the novel, original
movie with several sequels, and now this recent remake. Scott Kosar wrote this Amityville Horror screenplay--also The
Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Crazies remakes. Amityville is one of the Platinum Dunes remakes. It stars Ryan
Reynolds, and Melissa George who...

Night #9 An American Haunting (director's cut)
 
Last night we had a pretty scary haunting movie. Well get ready for a much more impressive haunting. I won't mislead
you, this is more of a horror movie, which I think to a degree lessens the scares, but your mileage may vary. An
American Haunting is loosely based on the real life haunting of John and Lucy Bell, played by Donald Sutherland and
Sissy Spacek. The true story is one of the more infamous hauntings and fairly well documented given the time frame.
The ghost was referred to as...

Night #8 Paranormal Activity
 
Tonight I have for you one of the big name recent horrors, Paranormal Activity. It got a lot of press and a lot of
support--I for one have my name amongst the throng of people who petitioned to get this movie released. Some people
love it, some people are indifferent, and of course there are the hardcore detractors. I for one thought it was great
for what it intended. It wasn't a heavy effects movie, it certainly wasn't a gory movie, or one chockfull of spectres
jumping out from...

Night #7 House on Haunted Hill (1999)
 
We're at around the halfway mark now. Tonight I give you the remake of House on Haunted Hill. A group of people are
invited to a haunted house and offered a lot of money to spend he entire night. I have to tell you I felt severely let
down by the original, even thought it had Vincent Price in it. This remake isn't without its flaws, but I still think
it is a great remake and it's a movie I like to re-watch. For one thing it is jam packed with nameable actors and
actresses. Let's start with...

Night #6 1408
 
Tonight's movie is one from the mind of Stephen King about one of the most haunted hotels, Manhattan's Dolphin Hotel.
Everyone who stays in a particular room gets the full on haunting treatment. That room is 1408. John Cusack plays a
paranormal debunker writing a book about haunted hotels and the Dolphin should prove to be crowning chapter. Cusack
always seemed to skate just along the periphery of horror or other genre movie roles until recently, but he certainly
stepped into it with...

Night #5 White Noise
 
It's the weekend before the big night, eight days yet to go. Tonight we have White Noise starring Michael Keaton as a
man who becomes obsessed with EVPs, also know as Electronic Voice Phenomena. His preferred method is using video. What
you do--yes you can try it for yourself, but hopefully you won't get results like portrayed in this film--is you find
a blank television channel and you record the static for hours and hours. Then you play it back and somewhere along
the line you find...

Night #4 Route 666
 
Route 666 is the fourth movie in our thirteen. It stars Lou Diamond Phillips--no stranger to small horror titles--as a
Marshall incharge of retrieving and protecting a run away witness played by Steven Williams--who for me will always be
Creighton Duke from Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Phillips is partnered up with some other law enforcement men
and women, one of which is played by Lori Petty. They take the titular Route 666--a part of the normal Route 66--as a
way of eluding some...

Night #3 The Fog (2005)
 
It's Thursday and our movie is the 2005 remake of The Fog. The first question you must be asking is why the remake?
Don't get me wrong, the original is classic John Carpenter, but it was so random overall. As far as storyline goes I
prefer this remake with its solid back-story to explain the ghosts. It has a little bit of randomness and of course a
modern aesthetic, but Carpenter himself seemed congenial to the film in the extras, so what the hey. The remake stars
Tom Welling from...

Night #2 Ring Around the Rosie
 
Tonight's movie is Ring Around the Rosie (2006). This movie stars Gina Philips, whom you might remember from such
horrors as Dead & Breakfast, and Jeepers Creepers. She is joined for most of the film by Tom Sizemore. Tom isn't
generally known as a horror actor but he gets the occasional parts that diverge from his mostly police dramas and
action roles. You may have seen him in Stephen King's Dreamcatcher, and The Relic. Here he plays the creepy handyman
to the house...

Night #1 The Legend of Hell House
 
Hello and welcome to the first of the 13 Nights of Hallowe'en in 2010. Our first movie is The Legend of Hell House
(1973). This is a hard one to pindown because there are other very similar movies, but this is the one based on the
Richard Matheson novel of the same name and Matheson wrote the screenplay as well. A scientist--descriptions call him
a physicist but essentially a parapsychologist--takes people to a supposedly haunted house to determine if there is
life beyond death. A very...
