After the unsettling news earlier this week regarding the false come-back of ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, we received some info that should put a smile on your face: Barnholtz Entertainment just picked up the rights (through MTI) to GHOSTS OF GOLDFIELD, starring none other than Piper himself (that’s him on the right)!
Co-starring Marnette Patterson and Scott Whyte, GOLDFIELD goes a little something-something like this: Built on top of an abandoned gold mine, this 154-room hotel was opened in 1908. The hotel is considered home to several ghosts. In the downstairs employees’ area, Room 109 is a small room with a single bed. The room is haunted by the presence of a pregnant woman. Psychics have seen her ghost chained to a radiator there. Rumors say a pregnant prostitute named Elizabeth was chained in the room by George Winfield, the original owner of the hotel. After giving birth, the woman was left to die in the room and the baby was thrown down the old mine shaft at the northern end of the basement. Elizabeth’s ghost even turned up on a photograph taken in the room by a reporter from Las Vegas. On the first floor, the George Winfield Room is said to be haunted by his ghost. Untraceable cigar smoke and fresh ashes have been found there. George’s presence has also been detected near the Lobby Staircase, where the ghosts of a midget, and two small children have also been seen. The Gold Room is haunted by a ghost that “stabs” people. High psychic energy is been detected in the Theodore Roosevelt Room and a southwest room on the third floor. Some psychics say that the Goldfield Hotel is one of only seven portals to the Other Side that exist in the modern world.
After the success of 1408, I’d say haunted hotel stories are ‘in’ right about now. Throw that together with the awesome that is Piper, and you have yourself one flick to keep an eye on!
No release date has been set, but you know we’ll be the first to let you know when it’s announced! Stick around for more GHOSTS OF GOLDFIELD as we hear it!
