Summary

On this episode, Heather Gunnell returns to the show to discuss 1981's supernatural horror film "Ghost Story" directed by John Irvin and based on the 1979 novel by Peter Straub. They talk about how this is a great horror movie for winter, the tradition of telling ghost stories, and revelations of town elite thematically being more relevant now than ever. They also get into unnecessary character inclusions, Peter Straub's reaction to the movie, the effectiveness of the ghost, and many other aspects of the movie. Derek will take you places you've never been. Aaron will show you things that you have never seen, and Heather will see the life run out of you.Heather's links!Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/patchworkwitch.bsky.socialEtsy: thepatchworkwitch.etsy.comStorygraph: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/patchworkwitchInstagram: @patchworkwitchquiltsTikTok: @patchworkwitchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePatchworkWitchWe are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio and CastBox.
