On our way back from South Carolina a couple of weeks ago, Jennie and I stopped in the noteworthy yet forgotten town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

Noteworthy? Well, I guess it's noteworthy to us because we were hungry for lunch. But it is also famous because of Richard Gere, Laura Linney, and somebody named Indrid Cold.

Forgotten? Well, the town - and the legend - are not familiar to those of us who haven't heard of the Mothman legend or seen the movie - The Mothman Prophecies.

Let's admit that most scary movies are either too dumb, too gory, too poorly acted, or too "out there" to be worth watching. Gere, Linney, and company are guilty of none of these mistakes.

Let's admit that some people like to be scared, in suspense, and thrilled by a movie, and some don't.
If you like suspense and mystery without gore and stupidity, than you might like The Mothman Prophecies.

I did.

So, here is our video collage of our 42 minutes in Point Pleasant on Memorial Day.
