Colerain County was the site of a comet crash that released mysterious forces and caused strange phenomena. Puzzling disappearances and bloody deaths abound. A group of young people called the Lost Children fought the forces of evil and succeeded in containing them. A few years later, after the death of his parents, young Sam moves to the small town of Castle Peaks to live with his aunt and cousin, who are fascinated by the Ouija board. Sam joins a group of youngsters called the Little Monsters, who enjoy telling each other scary stories inspired by the mythical Lost Children, who have become urban legends in the area. But now the evil spirit of Colerain's comet has been awakened again, supernatural events are occuring at a frightening rate and many youngsters are starting to act strangely.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
