My Review:
I like horror. Love ghost stories. This is blend of the two with some horrific events that provide the fertile ground for a haunting in the Woodfield Movie Palace. It really read like a good horror flick you’d put in for Halloween. The ghost hunter stuff was accurate. I’ve watched all those shows. Will the team survive? You’ll have to read this tale to find out!

Book Blurb:
Welcome to the Woodfield Movie Palace. The night the Titanic sank, it opened for business…and its builder died in his chair. In the 1950s, there was a fire; a balcony full of people burned to death. And years later, when it became the scene of one of Harmony, Indiana’s most notorious murders, it closed for good. Abandoned, sealed, locked up tight…until now. Tonight, Professor Geoffrey Burke and his Parapsychology students have come to the Woodfield in search of evidence, hoping to find irrefutable proof of a haunting. Instead, they will discover that, in this theater, the terrors are not confined to the screen.
