I don’t know how many of you are experiencing the beautiful weather that we’ve been having here in Missouri, but I’ve been desperately trying to find someone with a pumpkin, because this weather almost requires a jack-o-lantern, and you KNOW I love it!
So along with the weather and the fact that The Big Séance Podcast was listed as a “New and Noteworthy” podcast on iTunes this week, what could possibly make things better? The Ouija (2014) movie that I blogged about over a month ago, after having seen the preview in the theatre, has finally released the trailer and poster! Let me say that again… FINALLY!
I don’t know all the details, but the movie seems to have a horrible promotion plan, which has left early fans waiting for a trailer completely frustrated, and the film’s official website seems to continually change, as if constantly “under construction”. The film’s release date has now moved to October 24th, according to the Facebook page (which has had a considerably low number of “likes”). The trailer, which seems to show the old artwork from the website, simply says “Coming Soon”. This morning the official website had the new artwork and stated the film was coming this Halloween, however, if you go to the site at this moment, all the artwork is gone and it’s a blank Blumhouse Productions page that simply says “about the film”.
Will we actually get to see the film in October? Who knows! But I’m excited! My goal is to get into an advanced screening of this film, so stay tuned! The trailer looks great, which is why all their dysfunction surprises me. Surely they have more than 2 people on staff to work on promotion.

The problem I have with these movies is it gives people the wrong idea about the afterlife and connecting with “the other side”. Because of these horror movies, people are terrified when they have any sort of spiritual encounter. I wish they’d make movies that are a little more realistic. The truth isn’t ALWAYS boring! (smile)

I very much agree! I also still love the movies, though they may be doing a disservice to the truth. I cannot wait to share the next episode of the podcast with Karen A. Dahlman, the Ouija-ologist, and her thoughts on it all!

I don’t know. A movie about Ouija? I would be board.(sic)
There’s a really good and amusing commentary on how to fix horror movies at Cinema Sins. which you might find of interest.

I know I agree with every point made.

Ha! That was funny.

Don’t you with you got that amount of action out of your ouija board?
July 16th, 2014 at 10:49 pm
HA! I’d appreciate not being thrown across the room or anything, but yes… bring it. 🙂

Fabulous… more pop culture hysteria to add to the already abundantly rampant irrational fears of a piece of cardboard. lol
Your ouija posts have inspired me to do a couple over on one of my blog though – ouija themed home decor (yeah and there’s some BADASS stuff!) and ouija fashion pieces 😀

Awesome! Throw us some links!

OMG! Can’t wait 😄
I think I’m excited because it could go either way it’s either going to be really creepy or ridiculous. Either way will be fun to see at holloween time.

Yaaaay! I know! (and I hope you’re ready for some experimenting!)

I cant believe Bozo would send this to a kid! As for the movie I am in – as for using a board, my Granny scared me off of that!

Well… I was never introduced to the board as a child… and I wonder if that is what has framed it so differently in my mind. I’m excited for the movie to come out!
