THE INNKEEPERS
It's the last days of an old ornate Inn in the heart of town. With only three days left before The Yankee Pedlar is closed forever, and with only one guest left, the owner of the place has left for a vacation. But the two people he left behind to care for the place, twerpy Luke (Pat Healy: UNDERTOW) and mousey Claire (Sara Paxton: Return to Halloweentown, THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT [2009], SHARK NIGHT 3D, ENTER NOWHERE), know their time of employment here is short and don't care. Working at the hotel was only an ulterior motive, the real reason they are here is to hunt ghosts.
Like any old building and especially hotels, The Yankee Pedlar Inn has a haunted past. Whether real, myth, or somewhere in between, a woman named Madeline O'Malley (Brenda Cooney: AUTOMATONS, EXORCISM: DRIVING OUT THE DEVIL, I SELL THE DEAD, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, SATAN HATES YOU) Luke and Claire hope to capture the haunts on video for their website.
Like any movie Written, Directed, and Produced by Ti West, (THE ROOST, TRIGGER MAN, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, CABIN FEVER 2: SPRING FEVER) and produced by Larry Fessenden (HABIT, I SELL THE DEAD, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, HYPOTHERMIA, BITTER FEAST, SATAN HATES YOU, STAKE LAND) and Ti and Larry's producing partner Peter Phok (TRIGGER MAN, I CAN SEE YOU, I SELL THE DEAD, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, HYPOTHERMIA, BITTER FEAST, STAKE LAND), the movie takes absolutely forever to tell any story at all.

Today's birthday boy appears to be moving quite determindede-diddley into Horror and Thrillers, having already conquered Suspense and Mystery. And note that the previous sentence is painting in broad strokes as Chuck's novels are twisted enough to defy description. But hey, we love weird! And not just because one of our reviewers is a transexual. That's nothing! It gets way weirder than that here. So Happy Birthday to
