Hammer To Make 'Winchester House' - I Wish They Had Made 'The Raven', Too
27 April 2012 11:03 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
In San Jose, California, there is a creepy mansion called The Winchester Mystery House, where the widow of the Winchester Rifle fortune lived in a nightmare of her husband's making.
Convinced that the souls of those who had been killed at the hands of a Winchester gun were out for revenge against her, Sarah Winchester moved to California in 1884 and built a $5 million home (that's 5 Million in "1884" money, so like, 200 Million today) in Northern California designed to confuse the spirits with doorways to nothing, stairs to nowhere, perspective tricks, hidden passageways, secret rooms, and anything and everything she could think of to keep them from "getting" her.
This isn't the movie yet; this is a true story. The Winchester House is now a museum open for amusement and paranormal investigations, but it definitly has a sinister past that is a very likely setting for a horror film.

Did You Catch This First Footage of 'The Moth Diaries'?
2 February 2012 2:05 PM, PST | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
I did! And I can't decide if The Moth Diaries is Ya or not. Or is it more like Hammer's The Vampire Lovers?
It's Mary Harron's latest film (she directed American Psycho) and stars Scott Speedman, Lily Cole and Sarah Bolger. The long synopsis of the film, based on the novel by Rachel Klein, reminds me of a gothic thriller:
Quote:
Rebecca, a young girl haunted by her father's suicide, begins her junior year at an elite girls boarding school, hoping for a fresh start. From the outset, her friendship with sunny, innocent Lucy is shattered by the arrival of Ernessa, a mysterious, dark and beautiful girl from Europe. As Ernessa consumes more and more of Lucy's attention, the latter's healthy young body grows pale, thin and weak — as if being drained of life itself.
Her friendship with Lucy slipping away, Rebecca develops a crush on her handsome English professor, »
