It’s the 2nd week of “Blogtober” and the 31 Days of Halloween. Today marks Day #8 in the series, and it’s mid-week. I hope everyone is doing well, enjoying the season, and trying some tasty fall drinks.
This week’s theme is the sub-genre of “Paranormal“ horror. Today’s feature movie is “The Legend of Hell House.” A classic title from 1973.

[TRAILER]
MY RATING [0-5]: (✨✨✨✨) This is a great “classic” black & white, bump-in-the-night movie that takes place in a creepy house. Its rating is PG, so it’s more dark shadows, screaming, and speculation, but still one to add to your viewing collection.
