Before there was the entertainment industry that we know of today, plays and musicals were one of the primary forms of expression and reflections of society's beliefs of their time. This book will cover an analysis of the belief in the supernatural throughout the course of humanity's existence and showing that in a way, the paranormal has always been normal.

Finally, this book will challenge the reader to consider the possibility of using theatre as a method for researching and investigating the paranormal. Readers will be asked to consider what would happen if investigators and "ghost hunters" took on the role of an actor and the haunted location becomes a performance space, thus welcoming communication and activity from the other side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major biography of the iconic actor Henry Fonda, a story of stardom, manhood, and the American character Henry Fonda's performances—in The Grapes of Wrath, Young Mr. Lincoln, The Lady Eve, 12 Angry Men, On Golden Pond—helped define "American" in the twentieth century. He worked with movie masters from Ford and Sturges to Hitchcock and Leone. He was a Broadway legend. He fought in World War II and was loved the world over. Yet much of his life was rage and struggle. Why did Fonda marry five times—tempestuously to actress Margaret Sullavan, tragically to heiress Frances Brokaw, mother of Jane and Peter? Was he a man of integrity, worthy of the heroes he played, or the harsh father his children describe, the iceman who went onstage hours after his wife killed herself? Why did suicide shadow his life and art? What memories troubled him so? McKinney's Fonda is dark, complex, fascinating, and a product of glamour and acclaim, early losses and Midwestern demons—a man haunted by what he'd seen, and by who he was.

Book Synopsis Playing (to) the Ghost by : John G Sabol
Download or read book Playing (to) the Ghost written by John G Sabol and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-01-02 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do paranormal investigations, by introducing new ideas, behaviors, and technologies "play the ghost", rather than "play to the ghost". Performances must be about context-specific scenarios relative to a particular layer of past experience and memory. This book will "excavate" that possibility by revealing the consequences of these non-site-specific investigations that must differ from one haunted location to another. The use of the "Stanislavsky Method" during performance practices at haunted locations is introduced that may help to 'unearth' context-specific haunting phenomena.

But when he does, he receives further, increasingly sinister, visits from the small hand.
Download or read book The Haunted Screen written by Lee Kovacs and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1999 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While ghosts often inhabit films and literature devoted to the horror genre, a group of literature-based films from the 1930s and 1940s presents more human and romantic apparitions. These films provide the underpinnings for many of the gentle supernatural films of the 1990s. Tracing the links between specters as diverse as Rex Harrison's Captain Gregg and Patrick Swazye's Sam Wheat, the text presents the evolution of the cinematic-literary ghost from classic Gothic to the psychological, sociological, and political ideologies of today. Included are analyses of the literary and film versions of classic ghost stories--Wuthering Heights, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Portrait of Jennie, Letter from an Unknown Woman, The Uninvited, Liliom, and Our Town--as well as interpretations of modern films not based on literary works that show the influence of these predecessors--Ghost and Truly, Madly, Deeply. The text includes stills, a bibliography, and an index.
