Room Description:
Harry Houdini was the world’s foremost illusionist and escape artist. On his deathbed, he made a pact with his devoted wife, Bess, that he would attempt to communicate with her from the hereafter. To confirm his presence, Harry was to reveal the phrase “Rosabel, Believe”, a reference to his and Bess’ favorite musical tune.
Every year since, on the anniversary of her husband’s death, October 31st, 1926, Bess has performed a seance at the Knickerbocker Hotel desperately hoping to contact her husband one last time.
The year is 1936, and after her tenth attempt, Bess has just publicly conceded defeat:
“My last hope is gone. I do not believe that Houdini can come back to me or to anyone. The Houdini Shrine has burned for ten years. I now reverently turn out the lights. Good night, Harry.”
However, not everyone present at the final seance believed things were truly over. A cryptic note in Houdini’s manager’s will said “ I have spoken to Harry and discovered a path to contact the other side. The steps are laid out in front of you in plain site. Find my notes and you will be granted access to the underworld.”
Your mission is to unravel the clues and contact Houdini before midnight strikes and the hotel removes the shrine and closes the door forever. You are the last chance to reunite Harry and Bess before they are separated for eternity.

White Fang & No Parents - Hey Grandma and Wrecked Mashup
White Fang & No Parents, two of the United States' most brash, hilarious, and ridiculously entertaining bands are hitting the road together this fall with support from Birth Defects. Highlights of the tour include two back-to-back shows at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn on October 30th and again on the 31st where White Fang will be performing as AC/DC, and shortly after that in Austin for the Fun Fun Fun Festival Nights Prefestival.
White Fang is touring in support of their new album ‘Chunks’ which was produced by Bobby Harlow for Burger Records. The first single on the record –Bong Rip – features a video that was directed by Workaholics’ Kyle Newacheck, and was shot largely in the group’s Los Angeles lifestyle-boutique GnarBurger (a partnership between White Fang’s own label Gnar Tapes and Fullerton’s Burger Records). The full-time-freaks also have an affinity for directing their own videos, as evident in the bizarre video for the second singleWrecked. Most recently, the boys teamed up with horror film-maker Nesto to create the cinematic and psychedelic video Drugs I’ve Taken – which also features background music composed by White Fang’s guitarist Unkle Funkle as well as a chopped and screwed tune by the group’s sister-band The Memories.
Los Angeles’ No Parents have a handful of new releases from their 2015 LP ‘May The Thirst Be With You’ On Burger Records to their most recentpartnership with Altamont Apparel and Bionic Ear to produce a limited edition 7” single. No Parents were named Best Band 2015 by LA Weekly and it’s not hard to see why – in the short time they’ve been playing out, they’ve gained all the momentum of a hay-truck en route to the state fair, where – should we be so lucky – a show even half as entertaining as those boasted by these two hard-rock power-houses would blow the mind of any rock fan from wide-eyed youngsters to the most seasoned veterans of the national scene.
Cleverly dubbed the “Escape From LA” tour, this fall’s performances kick-off in Santa Cruz at the Catalyst Atrium on October 5th and after 29 shows brings the boys back to Los Angeles for what is certain to be a sold-out crowd at The Echo on November 11th.
Press Quotes for White Fang
“Between its niggling sense of doom, backwater weirdness and absurdist sense of humour, White Fang's new record lends Wavves-style bro-fi a much-needed outsider authenticity.” - NME
“[White Fang] makes guitar rock that doesn't suck.” - Noisey
“White Fang have hijacked the logos of both Taco Bell and Van Halen… and that's not too far away from what they sound like.” - AllMusic
Press Quotes for No Parents
“[No Parents’] raw, very loud brand of rock is puerile, tightly practiced and calculatedly juvenile.” - KEXP
“Any band with a song titled “I’m a Dildo” is OK with me” – LA Record
“Straddling the line between punk rock and speed metal, No Parents cover the historic map from melodic Sex Pistols to Pixies doom-punk.” – BuzzBands LA

The notorious death cap mushroom causes poisonings and deaths around the world. If you were to eat these unassuming greenish mushrooms by mistake, you wouldn’t know your liver is in trouble until several hours later. The death cap has been spreading across California. Can scientists find a way to stop it?

Where do death cap mushrooms grow?
In California, they grow mainly under coast live oaks. They have also been found under pines, and in Yosemite Valley under black oaks.
Why do death caps grow under trees?
As many fungi do, death cap mushrooms live off of trees, in what’s called a mycorrhizal relationship. They send filaments deep down to the trees’ roots, where they attach to the very thin root tips. The fungi absorb sugars from the trees and give them nutrients in exchange.
Where do California’s death cap mushrooms come from?
Biologist Anne Pringle, at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has done research that shows that death caps likely snuck into California from Europe attached to the roots of imported plants, as early as 1938.
How deadly are death cap mushrooms?
Between 2010 and 2015, five people died in California and 57 became sick after eating the unassuming greenish mushrooms, according to the California Poison Control System. One mushroom cap is enough to kill a human being, and they’re also poisonous to dogs. Death caps are believed to be the number one cause of fatal mushroom poisonings worldwide.
What happens if you eat a death cap mushroom?
A toxin in the mushroom destroys your liver cells. Dr. Kent Olson, co-medical director of the San Francisco Division of the California Poison Control System, said that for the first six to 12 hours after they eat the mushroom, victims of the death cap feel fine. During that time, a toxin in the mushroom is quietly injuring their liver cells. Patients then develop severe abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. “They can become very rapidly dehydrated from the fluid losses,” said Olson. Dehydration can cause kidney failure, which compounds the damage to the liver. For the most severe cases, the only way to save the patient is a liver transplant.

DOCUMENTAR RECORDER. 30 de ani de democrație
La finalul Revoluției din decembrie 1989, Ion Caramitru a încheiat transmisia TVR spunând aceste cuvinte: „Să ne bucurăm, vin zile fericite!”. După 30 de ani, ne-am dorit să facem un film despre cum au fost, de fapt, zilele care au urmat.
Despre toate reușitele, dezamăgirile și speranțele care ne-au ajutat să mergem înainte. Despre momentele în care am fost temători și despre cele în care am fost un popor curajos. Despre cum s-a transformat România în toți acești ani.
Am citit cărți de memorii și articole din presa vremii, ne-am petrecut zeci de ore scotocind prin arhive video (de la televiziunile românești până la agențiile de presă internaționale) și am încercat să vorbim cu toți politicienii care au condus România în această perioadă.
A rezultat un documentar de trei ore, dar noi sperăm că el va fi văzut și de generația Tik Tok, despre care se spune că se plictisește după 15 secunde. Ne-am încăpățânat să credem că nu e așa și că putem cuprinde istoria recentă a României într-o poveste care trece dincolo de vârstă, nivel de educație și convingeri politice.
Filmul acesta nu are pretenția de a prezenta adevăruri absolute. El urmărește transformarea României așa cum au văzut-o doi jurnaliști care s-au născut la jumătatea anilor '80 și au deschis ochii într-o țară liberă.

EXPO – Magic of the White City (Narrated by Gene Wilder)
Narrated by Gene Wilder, EXPO – Magic of the White City brings the Chicago World’s Fair to life. Experience the world of 1893 through a cinematic visit to Chicago’s Columbian Exposition.
Subscribe for more great documentaries!
Nearly 28 million people visited the Fair. Dubbed the “White City,” it inspired future innovators like Henry Ford and Frank Lloyd Wright, unveiled the Ferris Wheel and Cracker Jack®, and, in many ways, marked the beginning of the 20th century. Many of the era’s greatest achievements in science, technology and culture were unveiled there. The grounds were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famous for his design of New York City’s Central Park, and constructed under the supervision of Daniel Burnham.
The Fair was an engineering marvel. On opening day, President Grover Cleveland depressed a golden telegraph key which sent the first courses of electricity throughout the Fair powering fountains, machines, electric railways and thousands of lights. It was the first use of electricity on such a massive scale.
In addition, fairgoers enjoyed the Midway Plaisance where a one-mile boulevard of fun offered camel riding and guilty pleasures such as belly dancing, street fighting and beer drinking. Against the backdrop of 1893’s troubles with workers’ rights, prejudice, discrimination and corruption, the World’s Columbian Exposition cast a brief ray of hope for the future of humanity.
Filmed in spectacular High-Definition, EXPO – Magic of the White City immerses viewers in one of the world’s biggest extravaganzas and one of the most unforgettable events in American history. There will never be another event like it… or will there?
