I was honoured. It was something that was predestined. If they wanted me, I should do it." Mark Hamill interviewed [before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes] for The Fall of The House of Usher

paranormal: ghosts & spirits vs. haunted house

ghosts & spirits: this subgenre is another one that doesn't need an introduction. in horror cinema, ghosts and spirits are often the souls of dead people who have unfinished business or seek revenge.

examples: ghost ship, poltergeist, thirteen ghosts

examples: the amityville horror, beetlejuice, the grudge

In memory of Roger Corman, who passed at the age of 98...

As requested by @algusunderdunk, this gif collection of Corman and Vincent Price's work over the years.

Rest in peace, sir. You're a legend. Tell Vincent we say hi.
