The Haunting of Molly Hartley

October 31, 2008 at 8:15 AM | by sedona | 0 Comments

If trick or treating and sexy French maid outfits aren't your thing, head to the movies for your requisite Halloween frightfest and see "The Haunting of Molly Hartley." Haley Bennett plays Molly Hartley, a 17-year-old girl who's the new kid in school--only she's had to switch schools to get away from her mentally disturbed mother who stabbed her.

Molly tries to recover psychologically, but the nightmares still haunt her. That's when she realizes that they're not completely dreams: There are a whole bunch of people (mom included) who want her killed in order to save her from a preordained life as a servant of the Devil. Yikes.

We hear it's a teen-focused flick, so expect quippy dialogue and the standard high school bullies--and a nice dose of Chace Crawford! This one was shot in LA, instead read on for some travel options perfect for your own haunting...

Where to Stay: Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, Fall River
Spend the night where it all went down: This is the original house of the famous Lizzie Borden murders of 1892. It's been meticulously restored and you can even stay in Lizzie's room ($225) or her parent's room ($250)--just be careful! Breakfast reminiscent of the Borden's last meal (bananas, johnny-cakes, sugar cookies and coffee) is also included.

Where to Eat: The Lemp Mansion Restaurant, St. Louis
The Lemp Mansion was once home to the prosperous Lemp family, one of America's first brewers of lager beers. Unfortunately tragedy and depression plagued family members with various suicides and unexplained deaths until their downfall. Today, there are tours available of the house and the restaurants serves some of the family's favorite fare like the Carpetbagger's pork chop (stuffed with sausage, spinach and onion) and Gulf shrimp with Cajun spices.

What to See: Mutter Museum, Philadelphia
The Mutter is home to some seriously creepy stuff and was founded to educate future doctors about anatomy and human medical anomalies. This means body parts in jars, misshapen skulls, the world's largest skeleton and even a plaster cast of the torso of Chang & Eng. Admission's $12 and includes a visit the medicinal garden, home to more than 50 types of healing herbs.
