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!

It’s not often that I commit ink to paper, or in this case, bits to bytes in an effort to comment on something I see on the net.  ’ParaAbnormal’ is one of those projects that just is so good, it makes you want to tell everyone.  Typically, I don’t watch a lot of web series.  Now, there are some exceptions like ‘Chad Vader’ and my sometimes getaway ‘Red State Update’ but for the most part, they really can’t hold my interest.

In the first episode of ‘ParaAbnormal’, they investigate a Ghostly Sex Tape and it only gets better from there.  Each “Case” is a series of three to six minute webisodes which leave you wanting more.  But, in a good way.  Think “Reno 911″.

‘ParaAbnormal’ has a certain chemistry between the cast.  Ken Livingston, the lead runs a Ghost Hunting group out of his Mother’s house.  A fact he is quick to qualify with the belief that there’s nothing wrong with it.  The cute as hell psychic Wendy is the obvious object of Ken’s obsession.  Joe the gruff guy, Tony the Exorcist and Bunky the Skeptic all round out the cast and each add something magical that makes the series work.

The performance by the incredible cast is matched only by the awesome production value of the video.  This series could EASILY be a hit series on a major network with zero rework.

Give it a try and be sure to let them know if you like it.  You can catch episodes linked on their website at www.paraabnormal.tv.  Be sure to check them out on Facebook and twitter as well.
