	Rambles: Arkham Asylum: Living Hell
		A savvy judge sends White to Arkham Asylum, where he earns both the nickname "Fish" and a ringside seat to the unfolding events in which he's swept up: ghosts of the dead who want revenge, prison guards going toe-to-toe with demons, and inmates who make compacts with devils.
		The supernatural content is only half the story, though; the other half is solid, Oz-like prison drama, featuring one of the toughest and most humane cops ever to grace the pages of a Batman story: Aaron Cash, a man with a heart and soul to rival that of the masked vigilante himself.
		In a dark world like Arkham it would be easy to go all-out and be highly experimental, but Sook keeps the reader grounded with clean, lean, kinetic artwork so simple and effortless that it seems as though he did it in a single sitting.

	House on Haunted Hill (1999)
		Without a doubt 1999 was a year marked by a major return of supernatural horror.
		Perhaps the film's biggest departure over the original is that it is no longer a haunted house thriller wherein the supernatural was revealed to be of purely mundane origin at the end.
		Plot: For his hated wife Evelyn's birthday, millionaire amusement park magnate Steven Price throws a party at the 'House on Haunted Hill' - an asylum that, during the 1930s, was overthrown by the inmates who ended up burning themselves alive inside the building.

	DVD review of Angel Heart: Special Edition - DVD Town
		We carefully follow Angel as he tracks down Favorite’s last known acquaintances, from a retired doctor at the asylum to a New Orleans debutante who is a practitioner of the black arts to Favorite’s former band members and finally, to a voodoo priestess.
		A great example of this is 1987’s “Angel Heart”, a supernatural thriller that is a fine movie on its own but unfortunately had its good virtues clouded by the notoriety of one of its stars.
		A supernatural thriller that keeps you guessing until the end, “Angel Heart” is based on a novel titled “Falling Angel” by a relatively unknown writer by the name of William Hjortsberg.

	Ramos Sundance 2005
		The dramatic exception at this year’s festival is director John Maybury’s supernatural thriller ‘The Jacket,’ starring Adrien Brody as a battle-scarred Gulf War veteran who ends up in a mental asylum.
		Instead, the focus was on the off-screen blow up, a high voltage battle for a chair.
		An army of critics swarmed the makeshift screening room; a small conference room at Park City’s Yarrow Hotel and many were turned away.

	Blindness, Constant Reader Discussion
		Topic: BLINDNESS by José Saramago (56 of 56), Read 5 times Conf: Reading List From: Sherry Keller shkell@starband.net Date: Saturday, October 20, 2001 07:17 AM I didn't know bodies would do that, but I didn't think Saramego would have anything supernatural representing hell.
		Is this really the story of man's blindness to the terrible things that happen in life, just as these people in the book are blind to the terrible things happening in the asylum?
		We were wondering whether the doctor's wife went blind in the end, and it still seems unsure to me. I had a feeling that she almost wanted to go blind.

	Gothika Review
		If only screenwriter Sebastian Gutierrez had put as much effort into story logic and credible characters as director Mathieu Kassovitz puts into generating seat-grabbing goosebumps in "Gothika," the wannabe-cerebral supernatural horror thriller might have had more going for it than just a few good shudders and jumps.

	FilmJerk.com - Film Review: "Gothika"
		Kassovitz is a sleek stylist, and the opening scenes of the film display the filmmaker trying to build dread and creepiness efficiently: playing with sudden stops in the soundtrack, milking the supernatural elements of the tale, and making the asylum as big a character as Miranda.
		But the first half of the film is built on the fascinating war between the unknown vs. clinical mind, with the second half giving way to gigantic holes in the plot and clownshoes screenwriting just to simply wheeze its way to the safety of a suspense or action sequence.
		Whatever potential the film had to start with is a distant memory as the picture ends up promising, or should I say threatening, a future franchise for the ghost busting Miranda.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Felicite Robert de Lamennais
		Lamennais next published a violent article against the imperial university; indeed, when Napoleon returned from Elba, the young writer, thinking himself insecure in France, went over to England, where he found a temporary asylum with M. Carron, a French priest who had established in London a school for the children of émigrés.
		It was also a confusion of the natural and the supernatural orders, of philosophy and theology, to base both alike on the authority of the human race; and, since according to him both alike are based on human testimony, religious faith was at once reduced to human faith.
		Lamennais was now looked upon as the most eminent personality among the French clergy; visitors flocked to see him; the press solicited his contributions.

	BELEF04:::Articulation:::Theater:::Schumann
		Project “Schumann” is a music and drama reconstruction of the last hours of composer Robert Schumann, which he spent in Endenich, an asylum for mental patients, and of his last meeting with his wife, a pianist Klara Schumann.
		As is case with Hoffmann, Schumann’s music vibrates with something supernatural, extraordinary and unreal.
		Schumann, a composer with a lonely and caged soul that talks to itself, has more than any other composer embellished the profoundness, contradictions, and tensions of the Romantic time spirit.

	Amazon.com: DVD: The Val Lewton Horror Collection (Cat People / The Curse of the Cat People / I Walked with a Zombie / The Body Snatcher / Isle of the Dead / Bedlam / The Leopard Man / The Ghost Ship / The Seventh Victim / Shadows in the Dark)
		But after these two seminal works, which completely transcended their status as B-films, the series began deteriorating on an almost film-by-film basis, ending with the tedious historical romp of 'Bedlam' (1946), in which the infamous British mental asylum seems less threatening than an average off-hour New York City subway ride.
		Only the first two productions, 'Cat People' and 'I Walked With A Zombie,' feature unequivocally supernatural elements, suggesting that Lewton may have lost his nerve as he proceeded.
		To whet your fright nights: Cat People and The Curse of the Cat People, staring the sublime and feline Simone Simon, are both truly frightening and disturbingly sexual.
