I got this in the email this week. If any of our readers win the auction I want to hear about it!
" I come to you with a question and a possible cry of help. My wife
and I a month back purchased an old radio at a thrift shop.
With the radio sitting on our kitchen table we enjoyed it for about a
week after the purchase.. listening to our favorite radio stations
during meals and cleaning up in the kitchen. That's when it all
began... Coming home late from work one night I turned the radio on
while making a late dinner for myself.. while rummaging through the
fridge looking for something to eat the once familiar radio station I
was listening to turned to static.. the most accurate way I could
describe the sound would be "white noise." Slightly startled I changed
the radio station.. only to have the same thing happen... startled
again I checked the radio making sure everything seemed to be in
working order... everything was fine and the antenna was fully
extended without any bends. That's when I heard the voice...
Without warning out of nowhere a voice came across the radio... it
sounded like a loud moan. I quickly jumped back in fright nearly
falling over my own two feet. Than the voice came across again.. it
was a very stern voice of a man saying... "Leave me be" Very scared
yet curious at the same time
I proceeded to ask the man who he was.... after hearing about EVP's on
the paranormal shows I decided to try it out for myself... he didn't
answer for about a minute and I thought alright it was just my head
playing tricks on me. Slightly relieved I went to turn off the radio
when I heard the voice again come over the radio saying, "it's none of
your business." Again frightened I thought to myself could this be
real? I've always been the very skeptical type and non-believing of
the paranormal. But however this event made me see things in a
different light. It doesn't seem that I could have pulled the plug on
the radio any faster that night... backing myself out of the kitchen I
quickly made my way into the bedroom trying to make myself fall
asleep. Telling my wife of what had just happened she simply thought I
was crazy and told me to go to bed.
Things turned quiet for a few days and I stayed away from the radio as
much as possible.. but unfortunately it wasn't the last of it. About a
week later from the first incident I was in the kitchen with my making
a pot of coffee when much to my surprise the white noise came back on
the radio.. quickly checking the radio I noticed the it was unplugged.
With a look of curiosity, my wife asked me what was up with the radio.
I told her this was the same thing that happened the other night.
Again the loud moaning came out of the radio the moment I turned to my
wife... scared my wife ran out of the kitchen. I asked, "What do you
want?" No answer... I asked, "Whoever you are was this your radio your
past life?" the voice answered with a stern answer, "Yes"...
immediately after the lights flickered in the entire house and the
white noise stopped. More events have occured with the radio... to
include the lights flickering on and off in the kitchen and more
noises from the mysterious man. I'm not sure why he's speaking
through this radio or causing so much occurences in our home.. but
it's turning into a bit too much for my wife and I.
I'm writing you in hopes that there will be some way you could help
me... we are currently dying to get rid of the radio but are too
afraid to throw it out or destroy it for fear that it will cause the
spirit to become violently angry and linger in our home haunting us
for the rest of our life... the only way we could think to get rid of
it was by placing it on ebay... we're not looking to make a lot of
money... we simply just want this burden out of our home... if there
is any advice you could give us on what to do in this situation or any
way you could help find us make our auction more known in hopes of
finding someone that would be interested in having this item in their
home it would be forever appreciated and we would be forever in your
debt... Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you
very soon. Here's a link to our auction..."

We recently did a review of a short film called Mr. Video. It's an independent short horror/comedy film.Today, in follow up to that movie, we present you with a short interview with Alex Masterson, the mind behind Mr. Video:
Why did you first become interested in horror movies?
While growing up in Toronto, I remember as a boy seeing a creepy Canadian film called BLACK CHRISTMAS, which scared the shit out of me at the time. And then a few years later, when I saw THE SHINING, I became a confirmed horror fan.
Do you have plans to make Mr. Video into a feature length film?
No, unfortunately Mr. Video, the actually location where we shot the film, is gone. But I've just finished writing a dark thriller feature screenplay, which I hope to direct within the next few years.
Why did you first become interested in the Haunted Attraction/Horror Business?
Well it started out as a family haunt when I was younger. My mom and dad would decorate the garage and open the garage door for everyone to come in to get their treat. Then once I got older and returned home from the Air Force, I revived the family tradition in the garage of my own house and at the Oklahoma Air National Guard base. Just providing a free haunting event for everyone to enjoy. It's very gratifying to see the smile on the kids faces, and the parents' faces too.
What previous jobs have you had?
Air Force for 6 years, pizza joints and auto shops prior to that.
What job do you do right now?
The Oklahoma Air National Guard for 17 years and still going.
Is the Haunted House/Horror Job your full time gig?
You can count it as a full time gig for me. In the spring of each year, my duties on top of being the owner/creator range from PR person, building props and scenes, to advertisement builder for fliers,T-shirts, news papers and on hand interviews, manager of operations and even an actor. I get in the middle of everything to insure all is safe and in order. I have high standards I like to maintain in the Dungeon. Then comes the holidays when we convert everything over for a Christmas themed ride. In the spring, the cycle starts all over again.
How long have you been in the business?
Since the summer of 2003 which was at a mall then at our current location in Bricktown since September 2004.
How did you start?
In November of 2000 as I was tearing down the haunt at the guard base, I was asking myself. "What can I do to make it better for next year?". Then I thought, "A ride thru haunt!". From there, it's been crazy. I have to add, my wife Carol has been a very active part in assisting me and being in the thick of it. She's a great woman.
What's the scariest Haunted Attraction you ever attended?
It's Friday which means it is time for an interview. Today we interview Larry Silverman from The Discovery Channel's very popular show "A Haunting."
We bring this to you in MP3 format:
