FAVORITE GHOST STORY/LEGEND: Any of those spooky ghost stories they showed on THAT'S INCREDIBLE! back in the day..
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?: Not really, but I love the idea of them.
BEST GHOST MOVIE:
I'm going to have to go with POLTERGEIST on this one because it had such a strong impact on me at a young age. If you haven't watched it in a while, you really should because it still works today without being that dated. Plus it was directed by Tobe Hooper (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) and produced by Steven Spielberg (BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED) which is a teaming you'll probably never see again in this lifetime.
IF YOU WERE A GHOST AND HAD A CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU HAUNT?:
Hey, Walt Disney built a place for Ghosts to retire to and how am I going to refuse an offer like that?.
FAVORTE NEW LOCAL BAND(s): Die Princess Die, Foot Village, My Little Red Toe.
FAVORITE GHOST FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION : "The Skeleton" hitchhiking ghost has always been my favorite in all the Disneyland parks around the world (and I've been to them all).
SHORT BIO ABOUT YOURSELF: After winning an award for "Most Outstanding Art" in elementry school, I went on to design my own magazines and comic books all throughout my jr high and high school years. After graduating high school, I began to make flyers for bands such as Shl¸mpf, Six Volt Sunbeam, Girlscouts On A Swing, as well as my own bands. Eventually I started interviewing people just for fun which led me to my interview with Mr. T which got printed in BEN IS DEAD magazine and reprinted in HARPERS magzine. By that time I had started producing No-Fi "Magazine" as a way of promoting me and my friends' bands. Since then we have shifted from a black and white "zine-style" magazine to an online "magazine" with an online weekly radio show with readers and listeners all over the world.

FAVORITE GHOST STORY/LEGEND: the old story about the guy with the hook. my dad used to tell me that story and he said it happened in palos verdes, which was right near where i grew up. it scared the crap out of me.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?: sure. i've never seen any first hand, but i want to believe in them and i love all of that documentary footage of ghosts on the discovery channel.
BEST GHOST MOVIE: Beetlejuice is probably my favorite for obvious reasons, but who could forget Ghost Dad with bill cosby? in all seriousness, it's probably Topper from 1937 with Cary Grant...no wait...The Canterville Ghost with Alyssa Milano and Sir John Gielgud...that part where he puts on the head phones? ohhh man!
IF YOU WERE A GHOST AND HAD A CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU HAUNT?:
the girls locker room of course.
FAVORITE GHOST FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION : The fat one with the top hat. He's always been my faovrite since i was a little kid, and i'm a horrible excuse of a haunted mansion fanatic to not know what he is called.
SHORT BIO ABOUT YOURSELF: I was born in a galaxy far, far away back in 1977. No, I am not Star Wars. I would say that i had a happy childhood. But, it wasn't until college until the real fun started. That's when i met Chris and we started this whole No-Fi "Thing" and I can honestly say that my life hasn't been the same since. I have met lots of amazing people and gotten to do alot of cool things. My favorite, of course, is playing music for you on my radio show almost every week. Oh yes, I am also in love right now. Yay for love!!

FAVORITE WEBSITE AT THE MOMENT: I don't surf the web much.
FAVORITE GHOST STORY/LEGEND: I can't think of any right now. I like the legend of Edward Scissorhands, does that count? ["No." ~ Ed.]
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?: Yes, I AM ONE!!!!!! (And cue wicked laughter now: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!)
BEST GHOST MOVIE: The Others, I liked the house.
IF YOU WERE A GHOST AND HAD A CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU HAUNT?:
The Haunted Mansion, of course! Or maybe I'd haunt Crispin Glover. Or maybe Crispin Glover at The Haunted Mansion. Now, that would be fun.
FAVORITE GHOST FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION : I love them all.
SHORT BIO ABOUT YOURSELF: I write, I act, I make perfumes, I go to school. I have a wonderful boyfriend named Keith. I've been a vegetarian almost all of my life. I love music and movies. I wish to go to Japan someday and I also hope to live in England someday. My favorite animals are koalas and seahorses/seadragons and jellyfish. I love the artists Keane, Vargas, Erte, Icart, Dali, Picasso, and Gorey. I love New York at Christmas time and New Orleans and San Francisco anytime. I love Halloween and Valentine's Day. I was Arts Editor at my school paper last semester and wrote all of the theatre reviews, but right now I am focused on getting some of my poetry published and working on some short stories, as well as a novel. I collect vintage kimonos. I dream of one day starring in a David Lynch movie.

FAVORITE GHOST STORY/LEGEND: My favorite ghost story is the one where the woman is getting really eerie phone calls all night and she finds out later that the phone lines were down all night, and they happened to be laying across some of the graves in the cemetery across the street from her house.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?: I totally believe in ghosts. While I've never (unfortunately) had a supernatural experience, I have a strong belief (or is it hope?) in an afterlife. I have read alot, and talk to alot of people who have experienced things that just can't be explained conventionally or pragmantically.
BEST GHOST MOVIE: The 1963 version of THE HAUNTING. Watched it by myself when I was like 12 years old, on a tiny, 9" B&W TV and it scared the freaked the piss out of me. Still does. (On a side note: the remake blows and should be burned at the stake!)
IF YOU WERE A GHOST AND HAD A CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU HAUNT?:
The moors. No, wait a minute, I hated WUTHERING HEIGHTS! How about .... The Internet.
FAVORTE NEWISH BANDS: Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Interpol (they're not new, but their new album RAWKS!), The Faint.
FAVORITE GHOST FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION : The one sitting next to me in the mirror. You know the one I'm talking about! He never gave me his name, but I seem to recall him looking like a pirate. I haven't been to Disney World since I was 13.
SHORT BIO ABOUT YOURSELF: While my mother was pregnant with me she saw ROSEMARY'S BABY and was afraid of how I might turn out. While not quite the Antichrist, I did make her life a living Hell on occasion as a child (and certainly as a teenager.) My fascination with Halloween and horror has vexed her since I can remember. But it's my dad's fault, cuz he let me set up late at night to watch stuff like JAWS, FORBIDDEN PLANET, NIGHT GALLERY, & TWILIGHT ZONE. Blame him, mom. Other than, I read alot of books, watch alot of movies and I'm a DJ now. Oh, and my girlfriend is HOT.

FAVORITE WEBSITE AT THE MOMENT: www.fulltiltpoker.com. My new obsession. Play money only because I'm a coward.
FAVORITE GHOST STORY/LEGEND: Hamlet.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?: No, because the world is interesting enough without them.
BEST GHOST MOVIE:
Any movie with creepy little British girl ghosts, like "Ghost Ship" and "Resident Evil", because they're funny. Also, any decent film version of Hamlet, because IT'S HAMLET!
IF YOU WERE A GHOST AND HAD A CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU HAUNT?:
The Library of Congress and the women's locker room next door, because I'm a big horny dork.
FAVORTE NEW LOCAL BAND: Maxwell Demon.
FAVORITE GHOST FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION: The broken barbershop quartet ghost in the graveyard.
SHORT BIO ABOUT YOURSELF: Wrongly accused of a crime I didn't commit, I promptly escaped from a maximum security military prison and disappeared into the L.A. underground. If you're in trouble and noone else can help, and you can find me (email askjeffroe@hotmail.com), then maybe you canÝwrite me to solve your relationship woes. ÝI'm also a chemistry whiz and budding accounting pro. Dorks ahoy!

FAVORITE WEBSITE AT THE MOMENT: I don't really look at websites that often. Ummm, Engrish.com
FAVORITE GHOST STORY/LEGEND: There are so many good ones. I can't think of just one. I love reading about haunted hotels and Bed and Breakfasts
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?: Yes I do- why? Because they have made themselves present in my life since I was very young. I do not blindly believe in things, I study from every angle,and all I can say, is I cannot find an arguement good enough to dispute their existance,and if it's a matter of Physics- well then - so be it!
BEST GHOST MOVIE: Again, there are so many, and so many genres. I love the old "Christmas carol" I love The "Ghost and Mrs.Muier". Tombs of the Blind Dead, Chinese Ghost Story....
IF YOU WERE A GHOST AND HAD A CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU HAUNT?:
The minds of the Unjust.
FAVORTE NEW LOCAL BANDS: The Morlocks, Lily and The Ladies, the Shakes, New Collapse, amongst others.
FAVORITE GHOST FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION: Never been there and I've never seen the movie
SHORT BIO ABOUT YOURSELF: I am currently undergoing a transformation of titles. I am a Cabaret/Visual Performing artist, Crack Pot researcher ,suffragette and Woman of many mysteries; international and otherwise.

FAVORITE WEBSITE AT THE MOMENT: Right now it's my girlfriend's website http://itsachick.com, which features many projects I've shot.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?: Not really, although I am open to the possibility. Rationally it doesn't make sense. Of course, the word supernatural seems to imply it's beyond human understanding so by definition I suppose we'll never be able to know the truth.
BEST GHOST MOVIE: Sunset Boulevard, an amazing character study with such a good cast and so masterfully directed that you forget the story is narrated by a dead man. And The Shining, of course.
IF YOU WERE A GHOST AND HAD A CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU HAUNT?:
Probably Disneyworld or Disneyland, so I could actually confuse people at the Haunted Mansion. And also I'd get to hang out at the park after it was closed.
FAVORTE NEW LOCAL BAND(s): UNCERTAIN, a yet to reach the radar but extremely cool show, led by the disturbingly charismatic Mr. Uncertain. The songs are a combination of the bestof everything you've ever heard done in a way you've never heard before. THE DITTY BOPS, newly signed but yet to release their first album, so still very underground. Reminiscent of an old timey quintet but still cutting edge, a tight band with some of the best songwriting.br> FAVORITE GHOST FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION: The bride, in either Disneyland or Disneyworld. She makes a few appearances, and, if you pay attention, the whole theme centers around her.
SHORT BIO ABOUT YOURSELF: Don Spiro is an LA based freelance cinematographer with several short films and videos to his credit. Having worked professionally as both a union camera assistant and lighting technician in film and television since 1991, he is experienced in a wide range of formats and styles. His hobby of still photography also requires he spend a lot of time with comedians, burlesque dancers and sideshow performers.

FAVORITE GHOST STORY/LEGEND: Casper the friendly ghost, hes cute, and like most men, i could always see right through him.....
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?: No, i do not believe in ghosts. I was raised in a very religious background, and the thought of ghosts was not something that we talked about, believed in, or even entertained the idea of.
BEST GHOST MOVIE: i could cop out and say the movie Ghost, but I won't. Hmmmm, that is a tough one. I honestly have no idea.
IF YOU WERE A GHOST AND HAD A CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU HAUNT?:
If i were a ghost and had a choice to haunt wherever I wanted to...I would haunt newlyweds on their honeymoons.
FAVORTE NEW LOCAL BAND(s): SOME WON SPIT. I like them.
FAVORITE GHOST FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION: mmmmmm can i enter that tk thingy here?
SHORT BIO ABOUT YOURSELF: Right now, I am juggling work and homelife with a blossoming relationship. I dont think that there is enough time in the day to doÝ everything that I want to do. Maybe if i woke up earlier I would be ok. Sometimes I get myself into these very compromising situations, and then when I am in them, I try really hard to dig myself out of the proverbial hole. I am an aries, and fire seems to be in my life. I go into things at full throttle, and then after a while I tend to peter out a bit. But I am a very self-stimulated gal and I love my friends. I think I have too much on my plate at the moment.
