Well, our second live show was great!!!  We had a blast with Emily, Alex and TL in the chat room.  Be sure to log on next Monday at 8:00 Eastern and join us.  This week, we were a little light on the TV.  Laura gives a great look back on the season finales of  ’Being Human’ and ‘Monster Quest’.  She also takes a look at ‘Ghost Hunters’.

No Classic Cinema this week but we do take a look at the direct to DVD/Syfy movie ‘Dead Like Me: Life After Death‘.

We gained a new MySpace friend this week.  The folks over at Wolf Creek Haunted Forest added us so we checked them out and they look like an awesome 77 Acre haunted attraction in Shepardsville, KY.  Perfect stopover when you go to see ‘Evil Dead the Musical‘.

This week’s Independent Music Break features the return of Mr. James McLean from over at backtofrankblack.com with his song ‘Enigma’.  Be sure to check out backtofrankblack.com if you haven’t already and see what you can do to help.

Next week, a real treat.  We’re going to have a visitor live on the show.  Our friend Emily from the new podcast ‘The Light’ A Ghost Whisperer podcast will be joining us to tell us about what she’s doing.  We’ve also committed to trying to get out to see ‘Halloween II’ this week.  All that in addition to the usual assortment of TV.  Whew….  Thanks for listening!

We just finished our first actual live show. We had a few people drop by the chat room while we were on and we all had a blast. Special thanks to Emily, Jake and TLForman for stopping by. Live aside, episode 30 was awesome! We check out the movie ‘Evil Dead‘ for Classic Cinema in preparation for ‘Evil Dead the Musical’. Laura also updates us on ‘Ghost Hunters’, ‘Ghost Hunters International’, ‘Monster Quest’, ‘Ghostly Encounters’ and lastly ‘Psychic Investigators’.

This week, we have another first on Spooktalkular. For our Independent Music Break, we have a great interview with ‘The Lost Souls‘ lead, Gray Gurkin who warmed us up for the award winning song ‘Matchbook’.

We end up going a little over two hours with the last hour being a return visit from Jake Wheat to tell us all about ‘Evil Dead, the Musical‘.

Whew, awesome show. Easily one of the funnest ones I’ve been a part of. If you missed this one, be sure to join us live next week. Monday night, 8:00PM eastern time.

As you know, we are working on moving over to a live show.  We had our first one on Episode 29 last week which showed us a few things we needed to work on.  We’re taking the extra week to get ready.  I’m sure the extra time won’t help a bit but, one can hope, can’t they?  ;)  So, as of right now, we’re planning on Monday night the 24th at 8:00PM eastern time.  Tomorrow, the live show page should be updated with a chat client to use during the live show as well.

Thanks for listening!!!

Well, this week is a bit of a little experiment.  We give a live show a shot and, no surprise here, we screw it up pretty good.  We knew we would which is why we didn’t promote it a lot.  Hope you like it.  We do an intro about the show in case someone is on who isn’t familiar with the show.  Sadly, Frank ended up going to Waverly Hills Sanitorium without Laura so he tells us about it.  We do a quick discussion of the movies ‘Orphan‘ and ‘Bone Dry‘.  For television this week, Laura tells us about ‘Ghost Hunters International’, ‘Monster Quest’, ‘Ghostly Encounters’ and ‘Psychic Investigators’.

We round the show out with an awesome interview with John Warfield from the DC Metro Area Ghostwatchers.  John tells us about the DCMAG group and their investigations of the Historic Jordan Springs.

Hmmm, after I look at it, the show was actually pretty good….

Next week should be a little more normal with our usual Classic Cinema and a treat for our Independent Music Break.  We’re planning on shooting for a live show on Tuesday August 18th at 8:00PM Eastern.  We should have the chat room up and running so we hope to see you then.

We’re running a little late but better late than never, right? This is what we call a quickie or better yet, a nooner. We take a few minutes to talk about the current status of ‘UFO Hunters’. Be sure to head over to www.ufomag.com and check out how you can support ‘UFO Hunters‘ by signing the petition. While you’re at it, check out the effort over at www.backtofrankblack.com.

It’s Prize Day!!! Since this was the first episode of August, it’s time to announce the winners of the awesome signed M.R. Sellars books! The first book ‘Harm None’ went to Patrick from Missouri! The second book, ‘Never Burn a Witch’ goes to Valora from California and the third book ‘Perfect Trust’ goes to Emily from Canada! That wasn’t enough so we decided to throw in a bonus prize of a copy of the Jake Wheat CD ‘The Waverly Hills Sanatorium: Audio Experience‘. The winner of it is Bill from Canada!

Awesome Contest! Thanks to everyone for entering and thanks for listening to Spooktalkular.

We round out the show with a great interview with Tim McGee from over at www.freakcentral.net. This was actually Laura’s first solo interview. She did a great job.

Just a show note. I believe that we are going to give a live show a shot next Monday night August 10th at 8:00PM Eastern Time. We hope you’ll join us then!
