New weekly series: Cemetery photo of the week!

Today on Cemetery gates we debut a new weekly article: Cemetery photo of the week!

Throughout our business and personal travels we always manage to stumble upon a beautiful cemetery, and while we may not always have time to investigate each cemetery's very unique paranormal experience or haunting, we always keep our cameras handy!

We hope you enjoy these weekly photos as much as we enjoy taking them.

Obscure Horror Films that should be on DVD, or better yet remake!

While Blu-Ray gets cheaper and standard DVDs become coasters on out coffee tables. There are still many great horror films that never even made it to our DVD shelves. First off is one of my childhood favorites called Sleepy Hollow with Jeff Goldblum and Dick Butkus. I know this has been remade before by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp, but this Washington Irving adaptation has a place in my heart and should be on DVD.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, 1980



BLOOD BEACH, 1981

Another campy film from a post-Jaws era about a creature under the sandy beaches of California sucking down unsuspecting beach-goers into the sand. It stars John Saxon from the classic Black Christmas and Burt Young from the Rocky films. Who knows what you'll find under the beach.



GARGOYLES, 1972

This is not your kiddie Disney-esque film about gargoyles on church tops saving the day. Oh no! This is a live action film about gargoyles trying to save their race from extinction by taking a human woman captive for their leader when his mate is hit on the highway by a passing 18-wheeler. It has a Roger Corman feel to it with impressively surreal effects for it's time and monster make-up that made me keep the nightlight on for months.

Ghosts at Disneyland!

Disneyland in Anaheim, CA has long been rumoured to have several haunting at it's famed Haunted Mansion attraction, and after spending significant time in there over the years I have often times felt what I can only describe as a "real "ghostly" presence there. After all it is the perfect place for a real haunting to occur when all of the unsuspecting mortals are expecting to see the Haunted Mansion's "999 happy haunts."


Thanks to the folks over at Ghost At Disneyland (You Tube channel) we may now have some evidence to show that these specters don't just haunt the Haunted Mansion!

Each of the 3 videos appear to be authentic security and maintenance camera footage of ghosts popping up in empty seats on various attractions, or seen wandering around the park. As I am a former Disney employee I can attest that these feeds appear to be valid locations of where the camera's do exist. What do you think? Real? Or more Disney "Magic?"

If I should come back as a ghost, I would absolutely visit Disneyland, and however cliche it is, I would spend a great deal of time in the Haunted Mansion scaring my formal mortal brethren!

Happy Birthday George Noory!
