No, not the Richard Matheson novel, but the 2001 documentary about one of the original evangelical Christian "Scare them to Jesus" haunted houses. I picked this up at the library last week (thank you public library), and wow...was it powerful and deeply disturbing on many levels. The filmmakers do not comment directly, but through a masterful arrangement of shots and sequences. Such subtle comment is how I prefer my documentaries.
Watch it, and prepare to feel uncomfortable.
Thanks for all the well-wishing. Aimee cruised through surgery fine yesterday. According to the doctor, "she only lost about 100ccs of blood". I guess that's a good thing. My favorite hospital sign:
Blood Bank

blood products.
What exactly are "blood products" other than, well blood? I guess there's plasma...maybe soylent red.
Mmmm...soylent red (drools).

I am glad she sailed through with no problems. I hope this one works for her. I don't think my small local library will have that one. i might have to set the old DVR to find it instead. I have 13 documentary and independent film channels. It should be on one of them eventually.
The documentary sounds fascinating. And I'm glad your wife came through the surgery okay!
Hey, I saw you listed on Tor.com as winner of their zombie caption contest! Was that the same Aaron Polson or do you have an evil twin? The caption was hysterical!
I had no idea I won...I read the other captions and thought, "no way".
Thanks for the heads up!
