That is the video of my ghost blog this Theme Thursday. The Movie is "Three Men and a Baby" and it has a scene near the beginning where you see a shadow of a rifle. It is really a candlestick used later in the movie. Then when the man and the woman are walking back with the baby look in the window there appears to be a boy standing in the window looking back at the camera. It is really just the cardboard cutout of the man in the scene used later in the movie. But what really makes it scary is that the legend of that house is that a boy was playing with his father's rifle and shot and killed himself. And that boy now supposedly "haunts" the house. The family moved out after the death.
A truly, ghostly, spooky, scary, creepy, goosebumpy, freaky tale, story or a fact?

Fascinating random things that pop up in movies. Now, with the ability to watch films repeatedly, we can catch some of these neat goofs. Two others that come to mind, are a random bird in the forest scene of The Wizard of Oz and a tech guy in the mirror in the Alistair Sim version of A Christmas Carol.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the things that slip by the directors and editors! Make for some interesting urban legends. :)
ReplyDeleteremember hearing about this when the movie came out or shortly there after...spooky!
ReplyDeleteThat is really something! I'd never heard this tidbit of info!
ReplyDeleteI think that it's Steve Gutenburg.
ReplyDeleteSnopes.com explained this'n a while ago. Darn.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about this piece of movie trivia. good pick!
ReplyDeletethis movie was on tv yesterday morning while I was getting ready for work. didn't get this far into it and 20+ yrs since I've seen it. movie mistakes, continuity mistakes, are something I look for. The cameraman in the mirror of "A Christmas Carol" is a famous one. I simply notice things sometimes that aren't necessarily famous, just out of sequence...like someone with a hair part to one side in a scene, then, when they cut back to the same person in the scene, it's parted on the other. Just silly stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten all about this!
ReplyDeleteI remember that! Soooo creepy!
