This is a must hear episode if there ever was one. If you’ve listened to Spooktalkular before, you know that there are two things we love. Mothman and ‘Ghostly Talk‘. This week we have both. Jeff Wamsley joined us first for an incredibly interesting discussion into the Mothman and the Mothman Festival. Then, we were joined by Doug and ScottL from over at ‘Ghostly Talk’ for an amazing hour on ‘Ghostly Talk’, the present state and future of the paranormal entertainment genre and also we discuss ‘Paranormal Activity’. Let’s just say they felt the same way we did about the movie.

Tonight we enjoyed two Independent Music Breaks with music from Nyki Lindsay King. The first one was ‘Let Up’ followed by ‘Circles’ during the second. Be sure to check out Nyki Lindsay King’s video for ‘Circles‘. It is simply incredible. Be sure to support Independent Music!

Another awesome love show! We had a blast chatting with the Spookchattie’s tonight. Another name has been proposed… The Spooky Groupies. I like em both.  We intro the Spooktalkular YouTube channel.  So far, only the Mothman Hayride video from us…  But look for more.  We also talk about our format change of moving towards more serious paranormal topics.

Where to start, it was a busy episode. We started out with a cool interview with Alex Price who played Gilbert on the hit BBC series ‘Being Human‘.

From there, we head into our television coverage with a surprising newcomer this week, ‘South Park’ and the episode ‘Dead Celebrities‘ where our paraplumbers Jay and Grant get parodied in awesome form. You really know you’ve arrived when you’re spoofed on ‘South Park’! From there, we hit into ‘Ghost Hunters’, ‘Destination Truth’ and ‘Mystery Quest’. We also discuss the new show ‘Ghost Lab’. So far, we agree that we really like the personalities of the brothers but it’s really nothing new as far as format. We’ll discuss it more in the coming weeks.

We also talk about the upcoming ‘Ghost Adventures’ Live event at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum where the ‘Ghost Adventures’ Crew will be spending the night on October 30 starting at 8:00PM ET. Looks awesome!

Our Independent Music Break featured the song ‘Now or Never’ from the band AG Silver!  Awesome sound and they seem like great people also.  Please support Independent Media of all forms!

We wrap up the show with a recap of ‘Harper’s Island’ episode 11, Splash.  The Cal/Chloe death scene is the best in the series!  The song used for that scene is ‘Letters From The Sky’ by Civil Twilight.  It’s availible for free for a limited time from iTunes.

Wow, great, LONG show.  We had a blast in the live chat tonight with the Spookchatties!  We covered a lot of ground this week.  First, we recapped our visit to the 8th Annual Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, WV.  Then, we read our very first entry in the Spooky Story contest.  It was “Unca Aygin” by Patrick from Missouri.

We had a very special Extended Independent Music Break featuring a great interview with Matt Dauzat and Heather St. Marie from the band Hydrovibe.  Thier CD ‘Nothing Left To Lose‘ releases tomorrow on September 29th.  After the interview, we take a listen to the single ‘Fame’ from the CD.  Awesome band.  This is one of the few CDs that I just couldn’t stop listening to.

We hit TV fairly hard tonight.  We start off with a visit from Emily with ‘The Light: A Ghost Wisperer Podcast’ to recap the season premier of  ’Ghost Whisperer’.  From there, we hit ‘Ghost Hunters’, ‘Mystery Quest’, ‘Destination Truth’, ‘Medium’ and finish up with ‘Harper’s Island’ where we have an extra special treat.  We sat down recently and talked with Anna Mae Routledge who played Kelly, the tattooed Goth Girl.  We had a blast!  She was a sweetheart.  Anna Mae told us quite a few little tidbits about the death process on ‘Harper’s Island’ and just the experience in general.  Look for Anna Mae in the upcoming movie ‘2012‘, ‘Amazon Falls‘ and, of course, ‘Harper’s Island’.

Another fun live episode is done.  We had a great time chatting with the “Spookchatties” as always.  This week, we feature an interview with Emily from ‘The Light: A Ghost Wisperer Podcast’.  We take a listen to the trailers from the movie ‘Paranormal Activity‘ and ‘Transylmania: The Movie‘.

In the world of Television, we take a look at Episodes 5 and 6 of ‘Harper’s Island’ along with the premier episode of ‘Mystery Quest’ on the History Channel.

Another fun live show!  We had a blast with a full house in chat tonight.  Laura shared some ‘Haunted Headlines’ including some awesome information from our friends over at www.backtofrankblack.com.  They have received word of some investor interest in a Millennium Movie!!!  Congrats to our great friends on their hard work.

Laura also detailed another contest of sorts.  We’re inviting our listeners to submit their stories to show@spooktalkular.com for reading on the show.  At the end of October, we’ll have the listeners vote on their favorite and we’ll award a to be determined prize.

We did some quick movies this week.  ‘Last House on the Left‘, ‘The Unborn‘ and for our Classic Cinema, we looked at ‘The Andromeda Strain‘.  We also mentioned a new movie that we just found out about named ‘Transylmania‘.

For TV this week, a quick visit to episodes 3 and 4 from ‘Harper’s Island’ along with ‘Ghost Hunters’ and ‘Destination Truth’ round out the show.

This episode’s Independent Music Break featured the incredible artist, Nyki Lindsay King from Canada with his song ‘Let Up’.

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!

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.
