FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

EXORCISM OF HOLLYWOOD'S MOST HAUNTED: VOGUE THEATRE - 2:00 PM, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2001



"Exorcism," according to Parapsychologist Dr. Larry Montz, "has negative, religious connotations so I personally don't like to use that term. We're [ISPR} not a religious group, this is a team of Experts; scientists and professional clairvoyants, internationally recognized and respected for what they do, and on Sunday, after four years of studies, they will release the seven resident Entities from the Vogue Theatre, five of whom have been on the property site for a hundred years."

The Vogue Theatre is the most actively haunted property in Hollywood, investigated, studied and documented since ISPR's founding in L.A. in 1972", claims Daena Smoller, an ISPR® Investigator. AWe have actually documented over 4,000 people who have had paranormal experiences inside this theater since the summer of 1997. Does the Roosevelt or Queen Mary even come close - I don't think so! We're not talking about a person who had a strange feeling - once, we're talking about thirty people out of 650, packed in an auditorium during a screening, who come out to complain about a little girl (a ghost) that's skipping up and down the auditorium aisle. We're talking about men attending a Film Fest over a month ago, who get pushed out of the way by an male ghost on the stairs. We're talking about a projectionist ghost that handled the projection changeover during a packed film fest screening, when the live projectionist fell asleep! That was in July of this year! And we're definately not talking about a maid who thought she saw the reflection of a blonde woman in a Hollywood hotel mirror, so therefore it must be the ghost of Marilyn Monroe! We're talking about real Entities at the Vogue...and we've had the some of best try to expose this as fraud - from FOX Undercover, 20/20 to 48 Hours, and they usually end up walking out of the doors kind of freaked - experiencing the paranormal themselves! There’s thousands of stories to tell on this property – Sunday’s probably going to be one emotional day!"

And the number people who have experienced the paranormal inside the Vogue is a mile long, from the Celebrities who have participated in Ghost Expeditions® conducted inside the Vogue to hundreds of producers, writers and executives from virtually every network and major studio including NBC, Dreamworks, MGM, MTV, FOX, Columbia TriStar Television and the list goes on. Outside of Southern California, the Vogue Theatre appears to be the most famous movie palace in Hollywood next to the Chinese because of the international media attention it has received due to it=s verified haunted status, attracting tourists from all over the States, South America, the Orient, Europe, Canada and Australia.

On Sunday, December 23, 2001, the ISPR Team will meet at the Vogue Theatre at 2:00 PM and ‘cross over’ the seven resident entities under the close scrutiny of ISPR’s Parapsychologist Dr. Larry Montz and a camera crew, bringing to a close the longest running scientific paranormal study of a haunted location ever conducted in the world. On December 31, 2001 at 5:00 PM, Mann Theatres, owner of the theatre, will re-assume the property and close it’s doors to all filmmakers, screenings and film festivals who have come to call the Vogue home over the last four years. The ‘crossing over’ of the Vogue Theatre entities is not open to the general public but the theatre doors will open for the last time on Friday December 28, 2001 for a Monster Movie Marathon from 6:oo PM through 1:30 AM.

Under the direction of Dr. Montz, the ISPR Team includes Abigail, Derek Acorah, Ron Kilgore, Shawn Roop and Daena Smoller (HAUNTED, ISPR Investigates: Ghosts of England, ISPR Investigates: Ghosts of Belgrave Hall)
