Conjuring a Grudge: Haunted Houses On Film

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 23:03:00 -0000

Joni Mitchell may have been opposed to paving paradise and putting up a parking lot, but I bet she'd feel a lot different if there'd been an onryō running around in there, grudging up the place. On this episode, Luke makes a convincing case for getting into that big yellow taxi and going as far away as possible from the house which inspired the "Grudge" series. Along the way he stops to explore the reality (or not) of Amityville, Enfield, and a few other movie haunted houses as well.
