  12. Hotels are leaning into their spookier sides to sell ‘rooms with a boo’
    Роман Василенко
    Like many hotels, Red Cliffs Lodge, in the outskirts of Moab, Utah, provides guests with complimentary items like maps, in-room toiletries and, upon request, dental kits stocked with oft-forgotten toothbrushes and toothpaste.

    But in the fall of 2023, the property began lending some guests a decidedly different kind of kit: One for hunting ghosts.

    It comes with a digital recorder, an electro-magnetic field (or EMF) meter, and a radio device known as a ghost box – all apparatus that some believe can detect paranormal phenomena. Also included is a booklet with more information on the area’s centuries-old history and the property’s trio of specters.

    “We know you’re going to see stuff if you’re here, and we do have three very well seen spirits: the smoking cowboy, the headless lady, and the drowned person that walks along the banks of the Colorado ,” general manager Brian Hunnings told CNN Travel. “Chances are, if you’re attuned to that stuff, you’re probably going to see them. So let’s prepare you for it.”

    As mainstream interest in the paranormal continues to grow, thrill-seeking travelers are more eager than ever to bunk up at places where things go bump in the night. To meet that demand, many hotels have added spine-tingling seasonal packages and programming in the lead up to Halloween, while scores of others, like Red Cliffs Lodge, now showcase their resident spirits and haunted histories year round.

    “It’s another market segment, and the paranormal is very, very big right now,” hospitality expert and television personality Anthony Melchiorri told CNN Travel. “Our industry, it’s about experiences. This is just another way to create an experience.”

    Melchiorri, who’s host of the popular Travel Channel series “Hotel Impossible,” says the prospect for guests to have an eerie encounter can help properties set themselves apart in an increasingly competitive market.

  13. Anna Kendrick recalls ‘icky’ time director tried ‘power move’ in front of 100 extras
    Роман Василенко

    Anna Kendrick has recalled the “very icky” time a director tried to shame her in front of a room full of extras.

    She went on to recall a story about an unnamed director asking her to improvise something, only to later criticize her performance.

    The “Pitch Perfect” star, whose directorial debut “Woman of the Hour” is currently screening on Netflix, recalled the uncomfortable episode on the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast on Monday.

    Kendrick was asked by presenter Josh Horowitz what the wors note was that a director had ever given her.
    She told the audience that a director once went up to her after a scene, saying: “‘Hey, on this next one just try something, just like make something up… just improv something.’”

    She said she did as she was instructed.

    “Then the director came over and once again, in front of a hundred extras, went ‘oof, let’s go back to the script,’” she recalled.

    Kendrick said it “really felt like a very specific power move thing, to gain dominance or something.

    “It was very, very icky and then the thing that I improv-ed ended up in the trailer,” she said, to a round of applause.

    “Woman of the Hour,” in which Kendrick stars, is based on a true story of an aspiring actress and a serial killer whose lives intersect when they meet on an episode of “The Dating Game.”

    Horowitz asked Kendrick what it was about this movie that made her want to turn to directing.

    I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you
    center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.

    just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
