Wow, number 36 down.  Really a fun episode.  We were joined in by the Spookchatties in the Chat room.  Swing by sometime and join us live.  We have a blast.  Laura shared some Haunted Headlines and we headed into TV.  Our good friend Emily couldn’t join us, Laura did the ‘Ghost Whisperer’ update.  From there, we headed into ‘Mystery Quest’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Destination Truth’.  Then, we covered the latest controversy surrounding the ‘Ghost Hunters’ by taking a quick listen to the latest video.  A water bottle has moved on it’s own.  Or has it?  Oddly enough, the window behind it moved also.  Check it out and let us know what you think.

Then, our Independent Music Break featured Tenpenny Joke from Melbourne, Australia.  The song was ‘She’ and it kicks.  Be sure to check them out at http://www.myspace.com/tenpennyjoke.  We headed back to ‘Harper’s Island’ to discuss episodes 8 and 9 and rounded out the show with a great interview with David Lewis who played Richard Allen on ‘Harper’s Island’.

Wow, what a show!

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’.

We’ll be at the Mothman Festival this weekend so if you’re going to be there, email us and we’ll meet you to say Hi.

Thanks for listening!!!

Whew, tough episode.  Major audio problems.  It’s tricky to get UStream, Skype and Audacity all playing together.  Biggest chat room crowd so far and we really had a blast.  Discussions of our audio problems dominated the first half of the show.  Here’s the ‘Family Guy’ clip we mentioned during the show.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJn9Wqm2Ryk Funny stuff.  Also, we talked about an incredible comedian Lavell Crawford.  Here’s a link to the performance we were talking about.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlxfMjcV-SU

One of our great friends is starting a new podcast.  Emily will be starting ‘The Light: A Ghost Wisperer Podcast’.  Her first episode is on the 25th and she’s on iTunes so be sure to check her out.

This week out Independent Music Break featured the singer Niki Lindsay King with his song ‘Circles’.  Check him out at http://www.myspace.com/nykilindsayking and please, support independent music!

Because of our audio problems, we pretty much just covered episodes one and two of ‘Harper’s Island’ which started up this week in the UK.  It’s a blast to revisit ‘Harper’s Island’.  Next week, we will have the audio problems worked out and it should be a much better show.  ;)  Thanks so much for listening!!!

We have what could be considered for some a treat but yet for others Hell on Earth.  This week, we are doing a test run at a live show.  What we mean is we’re not going to edit this week’s show but instead, record it in one take.  I cringed hard and fought the urge to fire up Audacity and start cutting but we have to get used to it because when you’re live, there’s no retake.

With that said, a good episode.  We start off with a quick reminder.  If you’d like a chance to win a signed copy of one of M.R. Sellars first three books be sure to send an email to show at spooktalkular.com before the next Friday with the subject of “I Like Free Books”.  On next week’s show we’ll announce the winners.

We take a peek at the new Peter Jackson film ‘District 9′ due out on August 14th.  Cool trailer to listen to but even cooler to watch.  You can check it out on the movies home page.  Laura takes us into some Haunted Headlines for some interesting tidbits.  From there, we visit Classic Cinema for a look back at the 1980 film ‘The Fog‘.

Heading into television, we take a look at ‘Monster Quest’, a great episode of ‘Ghost Adventures’, ‘Ghost Hunters International’ and what will be our last visit to ‘The Listener’ since NBC has pulled the plug on it.

All in all, great episode.  Next week, interviews return.

This week’s Independent Music break is a great band out of Canada ‘The Wakening‘ with the cool song ‘Losing Control’!  As always, we are proud to feature Independent bands and we urge everyone to be sure to support Independent Music.

Thanks for listening and see ya next week!

Wow, what an episode.  It’s our longest to date, clocking in at a little over two and a half hours.  Spooky news is no more.  Listen to see what the replacement is.  ;)  For Classic Cinema this week, we take a look back at the groundbreaking independent picture ‘The Blair Witch Project‘ which hits it’s ten year anniversary this month.  It’s hard to believe that it has been ten years!

We have an incredible treat for television this week.  We start off with discussions on ‘The Listener’ and ‘Ghost Hunters International’ then we head into a cool episode of  ’Ghost Adventures’ who are in Savannah Georgia’s own Moon River Brewing Company.  We have a bonus little treat this week for ‘Ghost Adventures’, we are very pleased to share an incredible interview that we did with Nick Groff from the team.  Nick actually gives us some insight into the episode that we discuss this week.

That in itself would make for an awesome show but since we had missed the ‘Harper’s Island’ finale discussion last week, we dedicate over an hour alone to discussing the last three episodes including some audio and another awesome interview from ‘Harper’s Island’s’ own Sheriff Mills, the incredibly talented actor Jim Beaver.  I know some people were wondering about the song in the Chloe/Cal death scene on episode eleven.  It is ‘Letters from the Sky’ by Civil Twilight which was a great choice to set the mood.

We figured one week of music from ‘the Devil Himself‘ wasn’t enough so we’re proud to feature them again this week with another incredible track named ‘Bulletproof’.  As always, be sure to support independent music!

So, do you see now why it was such a long episode now?  ;)  Seriously, it was a blast so we hope you enjoy it!

Well, Episode 25 is quite a bit delayed but on next weeks show, you will find out why AND, you will agree it was well worth the delay.  This week though, Spooktalkular turns one year old and we are celebrating.  We reflect on the first year and hop in the wayback machine to visit the very first show.  Have we ever changed….

As part of our reflection, we thank a great deal of the fine folks who have helped us over the past year.  We have had so much help, it’s possible that we missed some people.  If we missed you, we assure you it wasn’t intentional.  The most important people to Spooktalkular are the incredible listeners.  We thank you for your time, we know it’s valuable so the fact you give up your time to listen to what we do touches us greatly every week.  Thank you!

We do briefly cover new shows this week from ‘MonsterQuest’, ‘Ghost Adventures’ and ‘The Listener’.  It was also the season two premier of ‘Ghost Hunters International’ so we give them a quick visit as well.

This weeks Independent Music Break features a band out of Santa Cruz, California named the Devil Himself.  Head over to http://www.myspace.com/devilhimselfmusic and check them out!  The song is ‘Deserted’ and it rocks!

You often hear us talk about the fine group of people that are behind the effort to have a ‘Millennium’ movie made.  James and Troy from backtofrankblack.com and the ‘Millennium Group Sessions’ podcast stop by to wish us Happy Birthday.  It’s really a great time.

Okay, I can’t make you wait until next week.  I’m just not that mean.  The reason for the delay was a couple of last minute interviews that will be in next weeks show.  To tie in with our ‘Harper’s Island’ wrap up next week, we have a special treat.  Jim Beaver who played Sheriff Charlie Mills was great enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to chat with us.  Now, if that’s not enough, we will also have an great interview from one of the Travel Channel’s hosts and investigators of ‘Ghost Adventures’, the incredible Nick Groff.  See, I told you that you’d agree that the delay was worth it.

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.
