#Spooktober 26 – The Lost Room

October 26, 2023

Do you want something spooky that’s not Gothic and yet manages to be deeply unsettling? This 2006 mini-series starring Peter Krause and Julianna Margulies is an absolute gem.

After coming across several objects that hide incredibly weird powers behind an absolutely ordinary appearance, detective Joe Miller finds himself tangled up in a paranormal investigation revolving around a mysterious Room that got somehow eradicated from existence. The Event, as it’s called, dislocated objects and scattered them through time, but was the room empty or should we heed the signs that a man was there? And what happened to him?
