Haunted Films at Haunted Places

Date: October 24 (Sunday)
Time: 7:30
Movie: "House on Haunted Hill" (1959)
Location: The original Haunted Hill

GHOULA is working with the EPFC's Filmmobile to present a series of free outdoor screenings every Sunday in October at a different haunted site. Each evening will consist of a "haunted" movie, guest speaker, a discussion of the location's ghost(s), and maybe some other activities. (Don't forget to bring a chair.)

(Note: GHOULA and the EPFC Filmmobile will only disclose the actual location 24 hours before showtime. So, check out their facebook page for the exact directions to this screening, or just check out the GHOULA site the day before.)

This Sunday's movie, "House on Haunted Hill" (1959) is the first of William Castle's Horror "gimmick films." When it was originally screened, a plastic skeleton (sometimes an inflatable skeleton) was hoisted over the audience in effort to scare the patrons. Most of the time, people just threw popcorn at it (but had fun all the same). This trick would later be employed at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion (it's debatable whether it works any better there).

Check this site 24 hours before this event to get directions to the haunted location of this screening.

The last "Haunted Films at Haunted Places" will feature....

October 31th, "Haunted Silent Shorts" @ a haunted 1920's hotel.

Sunday Screening Canceled

Tonight's screening of "House on Haunted Hill" (1999) at the haunted Linda Vista Hospital has been canceled due to the weather. We may have a make-up screening of this film at this haunted location in November. Come join us next week for the original "House on Haunted Hill" (1959) on the original haunted hill (weather permitting). Further details to be announced.

Gambling with Ghosts!

(NOTE: This is not a GHOULA event. This event is organized by our friends at GHOST STUDY LOS ANGELES. GHOULA is just passing the information along to those local ghost enthusiasts, who may be interested in such an event.)

Date: Saturday, October 23

Time: 6:30am - 11:00pm
Location: Buffalo Bill's (& Whiskey Pete's)

Pick-up location: Parking behind Hooters and the Mariposa,

West Covina, off of Garvey on the 10 fwy.
Admission: $30 a person

(includes transportation, soft drinks, beer, and snacks)

21 AND OVER ONLY

It will be one big celebration all the way to Buffalo Bill's & Whiskey Pete's (a well known haunted casino). "Whiskey Pete" used to own a filling station in this remote desert outside of Las Vegas. As a side business, Pete sold moonshine, earning him his nickname. He was a cantankerous old miner who died in 1933…though his spirit seems to live on. His body was buried in a secret, unmarked location in the desert sands, until it was accidentally dug up during the construction of the monorail that connects the two casinos. His remains were then relocated to a cave (the one where he made his hooch) in a nearby hill. Ever since then, his ghost watches (while smoking a pipe) over those who gamble in his casino. Many people have also reported finding their cars’ empty gas tanks filled up overnight in the parking lot! Also, the Bonnie and Clyde bullet-riddled "Deathmobile" is on display in the casino. Some folks also believe that the famed bank-robber, Clyde Barrow, haunts this building (especially the area near the gruesome display) as well.

After boarding the bus it takes three to four hours of continuous party, we arrive at casino or shops and stay for at least 7 hours, we board bus to come back by 7:00pm. By the time we come back everyone is usually pooped out so we watch dvd movies, or we can continue the party. We should arrive back home between 11:00 and midnight, totally exhausted, but Happy.
