BB 10/7/16

Good morning Phoenix! It's Friday, so it's time for Friday Fright Flicks!
Today's selection is a movie from 2014 - Ouija.
Plot: A girl is mysteriously killed after recording herself playing with an ancient Ouija Board, which leads to a close group of friends to investigate this board. They later find out that some things aren't meant to be played with, especially the 'other side'.
Trivia:
The name is actually pronounced 'wee-ja', contrary to the popular 'wee-gee'. Charles Kennard, founder of the company manufacturing the boards, claimed he learned the name "Ouija" from asking the board what it wanted to be called.
Far from being ancient, the Ouija Board was patented on May 28, 1890.
The film's tagline, "Keep telling yourself it's just a game," was used for several years as the advertising slogan for the Ouija board game.
Some cast members are said to have experienced supernatural occurences since the production of the film Ouija ended. It is said to be influenced by the making of the film.
Another theory of where the name of the Ouija Board comes from is that it is the French and German for "Yes": Oui-ja. The Board has Yes and No answers as well as the alphabet.
Goofs:
Near the beginning of the movie, Debbie walks up the stairs prior to hanging herself. Part way up the stair, the top she is wearing reveals her bra-strap and bared right shoulder, in contrast to how the top is shown during the rest of the opening scenes.
In the films second scene Debbie hangs herself using a string of lights from her bedroom, in every shot after this the lights remain in their original location.
When Laine goes up in the attic through the small ceiling hatch, there are very large objects in the attic that would never have fit through the hatch, including an easy chair and a barrel.
When Pete got slammed into the Mirror it cracked, but in the next scene the Mirror wasn't cracked or damaged, and nothing happened to his hand.
After the girl shuts the back door, she jumps at the sound of the gas ring turning on by itself. The shot shows this from above with a kettle next to it. In the next shot, she turns off the gas and the kettle is on top of the ring.
A sequel to this movie is coming out on October 21st. This should be interesting. Have a fangtastic Friday my friends!
