Laura and I had a blast recording this one.  We start out with a funny little bit dedicated to the great folks James and Troy over at backtofrankblack.com and the Millennium Group Sessions podcast.  During our brief discussion of their latest episode, we failed to mention that it contained an interview with Michael Buie in addition to M.R. Sellars.

We take a quick look at the Pseudopod Podcast that I discovered this week.  If you like horror, be sure to check it out.

This week is the premier of the new series “Warehouse 13″ and the return of the series “Ghost Hunters: International” for another season.  We also talk about the SciFi channels name change to Syfy.  Yea, I know, I misspelled it during the show.  Let’s just say that we think the name change sucks no matter how it is spelled.

Forums are back online and getting used.  Check them out at http://forums.spooktalkular.com and get in on the discussions.  Be sure to introduce yourself and let’s get the forums active.  We’re getting ready to bring up a new area of the site.  Laura’s decided to start a blog so look for that soon!

We’re still working on getting stuff together for the Mothman Festival on September 19th and 20th.  We’re going to build a teardrop camper to take up with us this year.

Our independent music break this week features the band Early April and thier song “When the Sky Falls” from their freely availible album.  Check out their homepage and download a copy today.

Whew, that’s a lot but there is still lots more to go.  When we return from the break, we give details on how you can win a signed copy of one of M.R. Sellars first three books.  No cheating, you’ve got to listen for details.

Classic Cinema this week covers the 1987 hit horror film “Hellraiser” that brought us Pinhead. TV wasn’t too kind this week as it was a little thin.  Our discussions were limited to “The Listener” and “Ghost Adventures”.

Finally as a treat, hang around after the outro runs and listen to bloopers that we caused while trying to get the M.R. Sellars giveaway recorded right.  It really was a blast.

Finally, we’re out of the teens. Sure it’s delayed by a couple of days but it should be worth the wait. In addition to the usual television and paranormal news, we check out the Sam Raimi film “Drag Me to Hell” that opened last weekend. Finally, we round out the show with an awesome interview from “Methodic” writer and director Chris R. Notarile. If you’d like to grab one of the screener copies of “Methodic” that Chris mentions, and we highly recommend it, check out http://methodic.blinky-productions.com. Be sure to get your nominees and categories in for the paranormal awards show we’re planning in July.

Forced to obey his dark half, the boy ultimately murders his parents on his birthday and is sentenced to a life under a microscope at the state mental hospital.

And when that day comes, god help us all.

Welcome to Spooktalkular episode 6, recorded on Halloween Night.  It’s been a little while but it’s actually one of our best.  This time, we did a good bit of post production which really made a difference.  I had hoped to get this one out yesterday but I really feel that it was worth the wait.

In the paranormal news, we talk about the recent article linking EMF to paranormal.  http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=ghost-lusters-if-you-want

We also talk about the upcoming remake of Friday the 13th and listen to the new trailer.  Here’s the link to the trailer on YouTube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OJYncOq2W0&feature=iv&annotation_id=event_227056

We take a look at the new Travel Channel series “Ghost Adventurers”.   We do a quick look at “Paranormal State” which was picked up for a third season.  Also, we mention the upcoming giveaway of an autographed picture from the cast of “Paranormal State”.  We talk about the “Paranormal State” field trip in February to Point Pleasant.  If you happen to be up in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, be sure to check out the Mothman Museum.  Jeff Wamsley does a heck of a job with it.

Since it’s Halloween night, it’s time for the “Ghost Hunters” Live event.  This year it’s at Fort Delaware.  Since it’s happening while we record the show, be sure to listen next time when we take a look at the live event.  We do take a look at the “Ghost Hunters” Uss Hornet episode with special guest Colin Ferguson from “Eureka”.

We have started a new MySpace page set up on http://www.myspace.com/spooktalkular so if you’re on Myspace, be sure to add us as a friend.

We produced this episode with a little lower bitrate as to be a little friendlier on those of us on slower connections.  All our testing seemed good but if there are any quality issues noted, let us know.  As always, thanks for listening!
