I love the ghosts on this Sabrina the Teenage Witch comic cover, but I think I like Sabrina’s spell on Ethel more. Ethel deserves some action! Go, girl! It would be about time she got to go out with Jughead. 😋💖

I’d love to visit the Chelsea Hotel some day! I’m a big fan of lots of its visitors, namely Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith ❤️

Horror Cinema: Urban Myths
Urban Myths is a series of short horror stories based on urban myths that are loosely woven together to make up the movie. While not every story was my taste, like one about a dentist and a mouth parasite that was gross and good but not my jam, there were enough great ones to make the movie as a whole enjoyable. I particularly liked the paranormal stories. They were gory and fantastic in ways that I could not expect. Highly recommended!

Elvis Ghost Sightings
According to The Ghosts of Famous Musicians by Ashley Watson of Notebook of Ghosts, the ghost of Elvis is said to haunt various locations, including:
Old RCA Recording Studios (Tennessee). People have reported weird noises coming out of sound equipment, lights blowing out, objects being moved, and the apparition of The King himself.
Room 1016 of the Knickerbocker Hotel (Hollywood). Elvis stayed here when he filmed movies. Visitors and staff attribute the eerily cold temperature of the room to his spirit.
Graceland (Memphis). There’s a couple photos circulating online that supposedly capture Elvis looking out the window.
Las Vegas Hilton. People have seen his spirit in the penthouse, the basement where he hung out with his band, and the elevator he used to avoid screaming fans.
The Ryman Auditorium (Nashville). Lisa Marie Presley claims she heard her father, Elvis, while there. After a performance at the theatre she went to her dressing room, but the door was stuck and she could not get it open. Suddenly, she heard the distinct laugh of her father and the door opened.

Horror Cinema: Ox-Head Village
Japanese horror movie Ox-Head Village is a good, spooky ghost story. The narrative begins seemingly impersonal, as if the supernatural events could be happening to anyone investigating a certain abandoned building, but it unravels into a personal story about one character’s journey of discovery into her past and identity.
Image from ghoulsmagazine.com I really enjoyed some of the scare-effects. My favorite was when a character would see an omen in a reflection. When it happened, there was no doubt the person was going to die.
Ox-Head Village was a good contribution to J-horror and ghost stories!
