Five Places You Might Go If You Died and Went to the Norse Afterlife
No part of the Norse afterlife is more famous than Valhalla. You can find it in the Marvel universe, it’s referred to in shows like Vikings and The Last Kingdom, it’s the subject of many heavy metal songs (one of my personal favorites is Judas Priest’s “Halls of Valhalla” from the Redeemer of Souls album), and you can read about it in books by Rick Riordan and Neil Gaiman, among others.
Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor
We’re back in the Hell House universe again, folks. It’s been some time since the third entry in the Hell House franchise. The last time we were in the Hell House universe, people were being murdered in the Abbadon hotel as well as around the property and the very rich Russell Wynn (Gabriel Chytry) defeated demonic cult leader Andrew Tully (Brian David Tracy) in the basement, destroying the hotel in the process. Ultimately, that act reversed the deaths and set the previous victims free from Tully’s hellish grasp. Instead of simply going back to the haunted house that scares the hell (ha, get it?) out of viewers, we are thrust into a haunted manor, that inevitably connects to the Abbadon hotel, with new characters.
