Thank you for letting us know about your podcast….

Enjoy your Halloween as well….

Nowadays one is less likely to find such hosts since late night dead space where these shows use to reside is now filled with infomercials.

My Podcast Ping’s 13 Days of Halloween has it’s own similar host, but since it’s audio it’s more a play on 50s radio DJs. But I do have something similar to Zacherley’s Dinner With Drac on the last show.

There’s also a problem with the way a lot of ghost hunters work. They’ll look for temperature, electrical or magnetic variations in a place but these can occur naturally. Most rooms are not just one temperature but can vary significantly throughout the room depending upon how the air currents flow and what heat, cold and air sources are about.

Not necessarily. I find the energy theory very interesting and logical. I’m not sure how they would be constructed if made of atoms. But it is possible.

Thank you for listening.

Thanks,

I told you I would get right to work on it, didn’t I?

It’s too bad no one can experience the story of Jekyll and Hyde as a mystery now, since we all learn the premise long before we read, or more commonly, see the story. On the other hand, it speaks to the power of the story, and the multiple layers, that so much can be stripped off and so much still remains that we still enjoy it today.

And while much of the underlying premise of good and evil within man was bubbling to the surface in psychology and culture at the time, it’s really a theme that has gone back hundreds and even thousands of years in literature and some religions. Many of us clearly believe it’s true.

I hope never to discover your “Hyde side.”

Thank you again for the excellent suggestion.

My favorite version is the Frederic March adaptation, I think – Miriam Hopkins’ character was phenomenal, and did an excellent job of simple physical acting. Though I think the closest I’ve seen to a faithful adaptation was the animated version made some decades back… cheap, and they made poor Eddie rather more bloodthirsty than in the novel, but they did a good job.

Personally, I’ve always felt that the story’s popularity was its greatest problem… everybody knows how it ends, so nobody can do it as a mystery anymore. Quite a pity, really – there’s so much power in the story as told from Utterson’s point of view that just gets missed by most movie versions.

Ah well.

And of course we’ve all got our own Dr. Jekyll’s and Mr. Hyde’s inside – it’s part of society, especially in any society with the Puritanical basis we’ve got here in the states. I mean… just look at most of our elected politicians. I think the problem is just that folks are electing Mr. Hyde, instead of Dr. Jekyll.

Personally, my Dr. Jekyll is the state accountant I am ‘by day’ – quiet, unassuming, does his job, occasionally writes on the side. My Mr. Hyde….

Well what can I say?

He’s hiding.

I, too, would like to tour that house…. It sounds fascinating…. One night….

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, it is a problem that would be good to have, although you could argue that Sarah paid an even higher price. What a cynical attitude you have. I’m sure the medium was thoroughly sincere in sending Sarah west.

I don’t know where the sound effects come from. They just…happen.

–HH

Out of curiosity – where do you get the sound effects you use in some of your programs? Or are they part of the music?

I am delighted you have enjoyed the Halloween Haunt…. I’m sorry you lost your iPod, I hope that problem is rectified someday…. You can look forward to more Poe this year….

–HH

Kayleigh.

You are most welcome, I’m glad I could help….

Thank you for asking for permission…you are welcome to creep the young ones out with The Halloween Haunt, but it seems wrong to simply trick the trick or treaters…perhaps you could mildly scare them and then treat them…? Just a thought….

–HH

It’s funny you should ask….

….

–HH

another idea is “pumpkin” festivals like the world record setting one in Keene, NH or Boston ,MA

anyhow thanks for doing this every year

Thank you for your comment…. I, too, enjoy “Psycho,” and am glad it’s in black and white…. Leaves more to the imagination…. The shower scene certainly makes one think twice about taking a shower in a seedy motel, at least, no…?

–HH

–HH

Thank you for your…warm…welcome…. I’m sorry I didn’t check in aurally this summer…. I was so busy Twittering and Facebooking (see the right hand column), that I just didn’t get around to it….

Oooh….a Jekyll & Hyde spotlight…that sounds delicious…. You are correct, he doesn’t get his proper respect…. I believe I’ll have to…bump off another topic to focus on the Dr. & the Mr…. And I’ll have to look into that BBC series….

Thank you for an excellent suggestion….

–HH

Have you considered doing a Jekyll & Hyde show yet, similar to the ones you’ve done for Dracula and Frankenstein? The good (?) Doctor doesn’t get nearly the respect he deserves these days, I don’t think, but with the series from the BBC maybe that’ll change.

–HH

Your comment touched me…. Thank you….

I was a big fan of Westworld, and I like your idea…. If not this year, perhaps next we can explore it….

–HH

“Dig up…” I like that….
