The Hidden Hand (1942) #1FromTheVaults #GothicHorror

The Hidden Hand (1942) is one of those gems that make me glad for TCM. It’s a short film at sixty-three minutes, but each of those minutes is filled with delight. I think subconsciously it inspired me to write Hydrangeas on the Lanai as they share many of the same unpredictable elements that I love.

The Hidden HandThis film is intertwined with mystery, too, and a treasure hunt within the walls of a mansion. The craziness and overacting of this classic movie is a rarity and should not be overlooked. However, due to the shortness of the film, I can’t say much because I don’t want to spoil the fun of it.

4 Stars

I give The Hidden Hand 4 out of 5 Stars.

Sadly, I couldn’t find a trailer for this one, but I did find the full version on Youtube for free.

Please welcome Shirley Harris-Slaughter today. She’s a great supporter of every RRBC Author and a wonderful person. About Our Lady of Victory (Second Edition) This is a second edition with updates on the state of this historic church. In the original publication, files were lost then resurfaced with content altered along with missing photos during transition from one publisher to another. Such is the fate of an Independent Author. This book evolved out of years of frustration at the total disregard and lack of respect for the contributions of Black Catholics in the city of Detroit. The author says, “We are not mentioned in the pages of history along with the other Catholic churches that sprung up during the World War II era, and that needed to be corrected.” The author did fulfill one dream since publication … that this church can now be found on the web even though it has merged with another church. It is now called Presentation-Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church. About Shirley Harri...

1689 (The Haunting of Hadlow House, #1) by Amy Cross #Review

Image
Wow! When I finished reading 1689, that’s what I said. This is not my first time reading Amy Cross’s work, and each time I pick one up, I know I’m in for quite the ride. The story ends the way it started with tragedy and in between was one disturbing and even a little perverse scene after another. The imagery was phenomenal as I walked the halls of Hadlow House with Richard and the other characters, who taunted me with their world and still haunt me to some point today. While I know haunted house stories are a dime a dozen, 1689 took me on an unexpected journey into the macabre.  I gave 1689 4 out of 5 Stars. About 1689 All Richard Hadlow wants is a happy family and a peaceful home. Having built the perfect house deep in the Kent countryside, he now needs a wife. However, he's about to discover that even the most perfectly-laid plans can go horribly and tragically wrong. The year is 1689, and England is in the grip of turmoil. A pretender is trying to take the throne, but Richard h...
