After one month of release on Amazon Prime, Hotel Camarillo has had 2500 viewers (90% of the viewership is in the U.S.)
The viewership for this past week was the highest yet, so the film numbers are on the rise and it hasn’t peaked yet. Thank you to everyone who still supports Hotel Camarillo.

“Hotel Camarillo” is a 67 minute documentary focusing on paranormal investigations over the past 10 years at former Camarillo State Mental Hospital. Using a decade of archival footage, EVP, ITC, and photos along with new interviews with the investigators, “Hotel Camarillo” is the complete history of paranormal activity in the old abandoned buildings, some that no longer exist on the campus.

“Night Stalkers” is a paranormal documentary which follows Southern California paranormal investigators, and asks what drives them to hunt ghosts. Night Stalkers was shot in 2010 and 2011, and captures a unique time in Southern California where paranormal investigating was starting to grow. We learn the philosophies and techniques that ghost hunters use to communicte with the energies some call spirits.
I will be streaming live from The Oman House tomorrow starting at 8:00pm PST.
Check out the videos shot at this very haunted Southern California home. Subscribe to the YouTube channel which is updated regulary with actual footage of the phenomena happening in The Oman House.
People need to get over this Ouija Board nonsense. There is not one documented case that proves playing with a Ouija Board summons demons.
The Ouija Board scare can be tracked down to one movie which came out in 1973. So long ago, that current Ouija Board fear mongerers’ PARENTS weren’t even born yet. That movie was The Exorcist
In the movie, Regan plays with a Ouija Board, and contacts “Captain Howdy”, which leads to her being possessed by the demon Pazuzu.
This is the genesis of the legend that Ouija Boards are dangerous. Most people spouting this crap don’t even realize that this nonsense originated with a movie. When The Exorcist came out, people were scared out of their minds. It made such a cultural impact that people have forgotten about the Ouija Board scene in the film, and just keep repeating the myth.

This is a quick tutorial to get the “black out” look in the eyes of Jason Voorhees’ hockey mask. This technique can work in any mask, and no one will be able to see the eyes the mask wearer, no matter how much of a close up shot is taken. The mask wearer will also have 100% visibility.
Buy a thick foam sheet from Michael’s or any craft store.
Using the a spray paint can lid, trace a circle on the foam sheet with a light colored marker. Alternately, you can press down and turn the spray can’s lid on the foam sheet to make an easy to see impression in the foam.
Cut a hole in the foam circle, leaving about a half inch boarder.
Buy some black socks from the 99 cent store, and cut the fabric to fit over one side of the foam circle as tightly as possible. Use several small pieces of duct tape to hold the stretched fabric in place on the foam circle. Do this on one side of the foam circle only.
Using duct tape or glue gun, (I used black duct tape) secure the foam circle with the stretched fabric over the eye holes of the mask. Make sure the fabric side of the foam circle is facing the mask. This will prevent your eyelashes from touching the fabric, with the foam circle acting as a cushion around your eye, so there will be no irritation when wearing the mask.
In April 2011, I got a call from The Boyle Heights Paranormal Project to come down to Linda Vista Hospital, and bring an IR illuminator with me. The Hollywood Ghost Hunters were filming a teaser trailer that night at the hospital, in order to drum up interest for a possible TV show. I was told that they needed an IR illuminator for one of the cameras.
I stopped at home and picked up the illuminator (I wasn’t allowed to film any footage) and as I drove to the hospital, I wondered why the crew didn’t have an illuminator themselves? Or why the ghost hunting group BHPP wouldn’t have one? I concluded they may have just wanted me there for something else. When I got there the whole HGH team was there. Rick McCallum (Hollywood Stuntman), Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees in the Friday The 13th movies, from part 7 to part 10), R.A. Mihiloff, (Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3), and Danielle Harris (Halloween 5).
I gave my illuminator over to one of the cameramen following the HGH crew around. I thought maybe I could do a little investigating too, but that was futile. Kane and R.A. were having fun trying to scare Danielle Harris by hiding and jumping out of rooms screaming at the top of their lungs. When that got old, Kane began scaring R.A. , who was a little jumpy being in Linda Vista Hospital in the first place.
A few hours later filming wrapped. The HGH crew was asked if they’d like to do any further investigating of the hospital, but Kane decided to call it a night. I took pictures with R.A. and Kane before he left (I don’t have the Kane photo). For the picture, Kane put me in a headlock and nearly lifted me off my feet! The headlock wasn’t for show; it was the real thing. I nearly blacked out! I’m 5’9″. Kane Hodder is 6′ 4″, and R.A. Mihiloff is 6’3″. I looked like a midget next to these guys!
We watched Kane drive away in his bad ass all black heavily modified Chrysler 300. The rest of the HGH entered Linda Vista Hospital again, heading up to the third floor. About 20 minutes later as the rest of us were talking in the parking lot, Kane drove in again! He then snuck up to the third floor to scare the shit out of his team mates!
(Special thanks to Carlos Gonzalez for helping me identify Kane Hodder’s car!)
An unfortunate event happened just hours before Night Stalkers was shown at Defenders Park, at the east side of Pasadena’s haunted Colorado St. Bridge. Or as it’s most commonly known, “Suicide Bridge”. A man jumped from the bridge and into the Arroyo Seco to his death, after police tried to talk him down for 7 hours.
I was on the road to pick up a friend for the screening when word came in about the tragedy. I monitored the event page as we drove toward Pasadena wondering if we would have to call the screening off. That didn’t happen, and by the time the screening began at 8:00pm, there wasn’t even any police tape on the bridge restricting access.
We had a great turn out, and a fun Q&A afterward. One sobering question asked was how many of the paranormal teams featured in this documentary filmed in 2010 were left? Not many really.
Just after the screening, ANOTHER distraught man attempted to jump from the bridge, but was quickly taken into custody by police. There’s a reason Suicide Bridge has the reputation it does.
Monday, October 26th, come to GHOULA’s annual Haunted Films In Haunted Places. I’m very proud to announce that my first documentary, “NIGHT STALKERS” has been chosen as this year’s film!
UPDATE: The location for the screening is Defenders Park, on the east end of haunted Suicide Bridge in Pasadena!
Join the event page. See you there!
