I don't normally advertise items that I sell on my withinfilm account on eBay, but today I am compelled to because, well, just because... or should I say, "...because the sky is blue... trees are green...." Dang, my bedroom poet side is showing again, sorry, back to the subject at hand.
Around 2009 -- when I was still making bad movies -- I was walking into this thrift store and as I was entering, I thought, "There is going to be a Quija Board here." And there was. That's right, a Parker Brothers Glow-In-The-Dark Quija board. And so I bought it. Now, having been raised a Christian I thought it was Satanic so never touched it; I did, however, use it in a short film called "Empty Boxes." That short was about a Mannequin (which is also for sale) that comes to life from the power of a Ouija board. Yes, another terrible film by Dr TV Boogie. After shooting that film, I left the Quija board on the table, not sure why. A few days later, fire, Fire, FIRE!!! I live in a 4 Plex and so there was a bad fire which totally destroyed the 2 units beside me, as well as smoke and water damage to the unit above me. My unit, no problem, clean as a whistle. When I came to look at the damage a few days later, my condo smelled a little smoky, but that was it. And in the middle of the room was that Quija board, dry, clean, and safe; wow, Wow! WOW!
Now, the big question is, did the Quija board burn the units around me or did it just protect itself.
Anyway, I have learned in my Nichiren Buddhist faith that there are evil spirits around, as well as good ones -- that's right folks, there is a Buddhist faith for the Pagan and Witches out there who want to get out of darkness and into the light of Buddha.
Maybe I should advertise the Quija Board under home security. Hmmm....
