crimsonpeak gothicromance

The last living inhabitant of Allerdale Hall may have just passed away, but the centuries-old manor is far from vacant.

When an eccentric, old bachelor dies with a mountain of debt instead of an heir, historian Lucy Montgomery is tasked with the valuation of his assets. The man’s seemingly derelict country estate turns out to be a treasure trove of intricate furnishings and priceless artwork for the antiques dealer, but Lucy’s not the only one interested in the house’s contents. 

Michael Davenport claims to be working for a rival firm, but his attention is focused on just one particular object. In spite of inexplicable noises and vanishing shadows, the duo discovers not only the innocuous-looking tapestry, but also a shocking mystery that unleashes Allerdale Hall’s suppressed fury.

And the house is certainly mad . . . because secrets aren’t allowed to leave this place built on a bed of crimson clay and neither can anyone who has discovered them.

**This chilling tale has been inspired by the gothic mansion at the heart of the upcoming film Crimson Peak, and is not official content from Legendary Pictures, or an extension of the film’s story. To find out the true story of what happened at Allerdale Hall, watch Crimson Peak in theaters October 16th.All Rights Reserved

Room 9C by OuijaMovie

It’s the middle of fall semester at Commonwealth University, and Cara Oliver is the resident assistant on the ninth floor of the Hynes Hall dormitory. Being an RA means she’s exempt from paying for her private room. Better yet, she earns a stipend in exchange for keeping the hallway clean, mediating roommate disputes, and suffering the advances of her boss, creepy middle-aged Mr. Flynn. It’s much better than having to find a part-time job on campus. And best of all, her boyfriend, is the RA for the tenth floor. But something strange is going on in 9C, the single room that’s occupied by deaf freshman Hailey Warwick. Cara learns that there are frequent odd noises in the room, and Hailey’s oblivious because she can’t hear them. Cara’s best friend, Leigh Anne, tells Cara that the rumor is that a kid died in Room 9C one year, and it’s haunted. She jokes that it’s either great planning on the part of the dorm’s general manager, Mr. Flynn, that there’s a deaf kid living in 9C that year. Something about Leigh Anne’s joke rings eerily true to Cara. Cara feels awful it’s taken her until October to realize Hailey might be in some kind of danger. Cara discovers one of the students who previously lived in 9C was committed to a psychiatric hospital the following year. Other years, students placed in room 9C dropped out of school mid-semester. She confronts Mr. Flynn about the room’s history, and he uncomfortably admits that back in the Eighties, a student committed suicide in the room, but assures her it was completely renovated. Now Leigh Anne is intrigued and suggests that they use her Ouija board to contact the dead kid. Cara is opposed to the idea, since she doesn’t want to freak her resident out. But Mason insists maybe they can communicate with the spirit and ask him to stop scaring nice girls. When he puts it that way, Cara agrees. But the spirit of the dead kid from Room 9C isn’t so easily convinced...

With the help of a handsome but secretive local historian, Emma must piece together the puzzle before it's too late. But as the past and present intertwine, she begins to question everything, including her own heart. Will Emma uncover the truth of Alderwood Manor? Or will its dark history consume her like it has so many before her?
