In 1912, eight people (six of whom were children) were killed in this tiny house in Iowa by some kind of lunatic with an ax. The killer was never brought to justice so either their souls aren't at rest OR there is an evil entity in the house OR it is just an empty house. Here it is folks, our investigation video. Presented to you in all it's non-glory. As promised, nothing was faked and all "evidence" is presented in a rational and scientific fashion and we discuss as we go. Is there a little dramatic flair in editing? Sure. It can't be too boring, but we promise this is the most honest paranormal investigation video you'll ever see.
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.
