The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer
Window of Opportunity
Stephen King didn’t write The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, but this 2003 TV movie attempts to complete the picture of his haunted house, Rose Red. Was the place born from the sin of kinky Steven Brand (Hellraiser: Revelations), who delights in tying up and torturing his new bride and comely maids? Or is the mansion on the side of the wronged women, and helping Ellen (soap star Lisa Brenner) and her “dark lady” companion (Broadway’s Tsidii Leloka) build a tower to Heaven that sends the pervert hubby straight to Hell? The Podcast Never Stops, so Listen Now!

Rose Red
Bringing Down The House
Stephen King invited audiences back to network television in 2002 for a three-night tour of his haunted house, Rose Red. But did the author successfully refurbish Shirley Jackson’s classic Hill House tale by having an autistic girl be the one to stoke the appetite of a soul-eating Seattle mansion? Or is sitcom star Nancy Travis working from an outdated blueprint as she sends five paranormal investigators down warped hallways and rooms with bad histories to find scientific proof of the supernatural? Listen Now to learn if the hosts flip over this property.
