Had an absolute amazing time doing the show tonight.  We didn’t have any guests but we still had plenty of gab going on.  We start off by discussing our plans for when we buy the Amityville Horror House which recently went on sale.  We just need 1.5 million of our incredible listeners to send us a buck each and we can make it a reality.  ;)  We also briefly talk about a really cool old audio recording about Spiricom that we found in the 2005 archives of Ghostly Talk.  We also checked out the remake of the Wolfman this weekend and we both loved it.

Believe it or not, Ghost Hunters Academy is back.  Well, we being the fans we are take a run through of the new cadets.  Frank is thinking about pitching a new similar series but instead of Steve or Tango, Gordon Ramsay is the lead.  It would be great.  While we’re in the angry mood, we also tear into Happy Town.  How does a show with this much potential end up in such a shape?

A couple of special thanks to some great friends of the show.  Jake Wheat has updated our website and, Jake, I promise I’ll get the new version online soon.  ;)  And, to Mark Hayden.  Thanks, as always for the incredible banners you do for us.

Welcome back to Spooktalkular after an unexpected break last week.  We are working on getting Marie and Larry rescheduled.  ;)  Tonights show was a little more classic Spooktalkular.  Laura and I just hung out, no guest and talked about what’s new in Paratainment.  We took another look (or listen) to the Happy Town trailer.  Laura and I have seen some of the first couple of episodes and we can tell you, this is the must watch series this spring!  It premieres on Wednesday April 28th.  Be sure to check out the first 15 minutes of the show over at abc.com and watch the premiere Wednesday.

We took a quick look and listen at the trailer for the new “Nightmare on Elm Street“.  Premiering Friday, April 30th.  Remember, every town has an Elm street.

Laura told us about a cool movie from Netflix Streaming named “Paranormal Entity“.  I’m going to watch it ASAP myself.

We also talked about the season premiere of Dr. Who on BBC.

We also mentioned the most incredible commercial that we’ve seen in a long time.  From the 2010 Super Bowl, the Old Spice commercial was one of our favorites.

Our music tonight featured the song We Are One by Dash the Assassin.

Thanks as always to our GREAT friend Mark Hayden for his incredible banners!

We were joined tonight by our great friend Jake Wheat.  Jake tells us all about the CD “Stomp Out Cancer Volume 2: Hope” which all proceeds benefit Stomp Out Cancer and Ewing’s Sarcoma Research.  You will be hearing songs from the CD featured on our Independent Music Breaks over the next few months.  While Jake was here, we also talked about his other project, ‘The Waverly Hills Sanatorium Audio Experience” and “Stomp Out Cancer: Volume 1“.  It was an incredible hour and we hated for it to be over.  Actually, when we stopped recording, we kept talking for quite a while afterwards.

Before Jake joined us, we talked about the new ABC series ‘Happy Town‘ which we plan on covering when it starts up on April 30th.  You can watch the first 14 minutes on ABC’s site.  It looks GREAT!!!  We can’t wait.  We’re planning to make it our guilty pleasure this year.

As we mentioned, tonight’s Independent Music Breaks were from the CD “Stomp Out Cancer Volume 2: Hope” which you can find on iTunes.  We played the songs ‘Stronger’ by Public Symphony and ‘Emory’ by Heros and Madmen.  Remember, all proceeds from all the CDs benefit Ewing’s Sarcoma research.

Thanks for listening!

We often joke that we plan great episodes but it’s the execution of the episode where we mess up.  Well, tonight, we more than lived up to that expectation.  We were having the mother of all audio problem nights.  Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll work on getting those problems ironed out before our next live guest.  With that said, awesome time tonight.  We started off the show with a recap of our road trip last weekend down to the Myers House NC to check out the incredible premier of Judith.  We also reminisced about the old forgotten drive-in theater with one of our Spooky Groupies, Patrick.  Tying in with the Judith discussion, we gave our views on the rewatch of  Rob Zombie’s Halloween.  We both loved it!  The key is not to compare it to the original John Carpenter version.  Realize instead that Rob Zombie made it his.

After our first break, we were joined by Ken Arnold and Wendy Donigian from the incredible web series ParaAbnormal in character as Ken Livingston and Wendy the Psychic.  After our second break Ken and Wendy hung around as themselves and we had a blast talking ParaAbnormal.  If you haven’t seen ParaAbnormal yet, do it today.  Head over and check it out.  It is truly funny.  If you’ve been around the paranormal community long, chances are, you’ll see someone you know in the characters.

Our Independent Music Breaks featured a familiar band to Spooktalkular listeners, Tenpenny Joke out of Australia.  The first break was ‘Black Satellite’ and the second was ‘Chaos Engine’.  Be sure to support independent music whenever possible!

Mountain State Spirit Seeker Society

The big 5 0 is here and we had a fun time.  We talk about the incredible web series ParaAbnormal.  Check them out and recommend them to a friend today.  Due to popular response, we’re going to move to Sunday nights starting February 21st at 6:00PM Eastern.  We’re going to take next week off and do one more Monday night show on the 15th.

Tonight we were joined by the Mountain State Spirit Seeker Society to tell us a little about their group and some of the work they’ve been doing.  We’ve been trying to get these guys on for quite a while so it was great to finally get everyone together.  Great half hour with them.  Be sure to check out their website.

Our Independent Music Break featured ‘X My Eyes’ from The Russian Brides.  Remember to support independent music!

Kyle Lovern

We started out talking a little about an interesting comment we received from one of our listeners Graham, about episode 46.  Between time 23:05 amd 23:09, Graham noticed a womans voice that doesn’t sound like Laura’s.  I’ll try to isolate it and we’ll play it during the next show.  We also talk about possibly moving the show to Sunday night.  Be sure to let us know what you think about what time we should do the show.

Tonight we were joined by Kyle Lovern, author of  the books, “Appalachian Case Study: UFO Sightings, Alien Encounters and Unexplained Phenomena, volumes 1 and volume 2“  to talk a little local UFO.  Once again, we ran short on time but Kyle was good enough to agree to come back and join us again.

Our Independent Music Break featured the song ‘X My Eyes’ from the Oregon group the Russian Brides.  Always support Independent Media!

Special Thanks again to our guest Kyle Lovern and to all of our listeners!

This was a little disorganized episode due to our traveling during the holidays.  Laura talks about a couple of ‘Paranormal State’ episodes along with a ‘Ghost Adventures’ episode.  After a break with the song ‘Only For You’ from AMORIC, we jumped right in to hammering out the 2009 Spooktalkular Parawards nominees.  We’ll make a final pass on the nominees next week and then open it up to voting.  There are a couple of “Not Safe For Work” moments in this one but nothing like last week.

Hope you enjoy

Spooktalkular returns with a little edgier show than normal.  No, this isn’t going to be the norm, we just went where the material led us today.
Frank takes a rant out on Ghost Hunters Academy.  We discuss ‘The Haunted’, ‘Psychic Kids’, and a Jack the Ripper special on the Discovery Channel.  We also have a lengthy discussion on a recent ‘Paranormal State’ episode.  Our independent music break featured ‘Chaos Engine’ by TenPenny Joke
All in all, a great, fun show.  It’s good to be back!

Short TV week due to Thanksgiving but we had some good talks about ‘Ghost Adventures’ and ‘Ghost Hunters Academy’ none the less.  We also briefly talk about a cool independent project we were turned on to named ‘Judith: The Night She Stayed Home‘ and the film ‘A Mannequin In Static’ both by Josh Hasty.  We also talk about the cool house in North Carolina that is a replica of the Myers house from the original  ’Halloween’.

This week, our Independent Music Break featured ‘Chaos Engine’ from the band Tenpenny Joke.  Remember to support independent music.

Jonathan Farrell joins us to talk about Paranormal Investigation and his site Perception9 Paranormal.  Awesome interview.  Laura solo’d it and it turned out great.  Jonathan was incredibly interesting.

After a rocky start, we ended up having a great time.  The entire episode was devoted to our discussion of the new release ‘The Forth Kind‘ which we went and watched Sunday night.  We both really enjoyed the movie.

Our incredible Independent Music Break featured ‘Sirens’ by the band Tenpenny Joke.

Look for a more normal (if there is such a thing) Spooktalkular next week.  ;)  Thanks for listening!
