Haunted
R&R Station is a docudrama about a haunted hotel.
The format includes elements of a documentary -- interview
and location shots -- and fictional re-creations of stories
witnesses tell. The film style is fast-paced and punchy with
a mix of story telling and behind-the scenes captures of cast
and crew. Each ghost was cast locally by Sherry Wingrove -
who appears throughout the film as the busy innkeep who must
explain the presence of more than a dozen ghostly guests to
restaurant, bar, and hotel room patrons. Costumes and special
effects are produced by Brian Corcoran. Make-up by Ruth Peterson.
Brian and Ruth are Vintage Costumes, LLC. Mayor Gerald Lucia
kindly offered city help blocking streets and monitoring traffic
and onlookers during shooting. More than 50 people from Mt.
Pleasant, Pennsylvania and surrounding communities appear
in the film as actors or witnesses. The crew includes Chicago
theaterical artist Shawn Galligan as assistant director --
who added an incredible touch to each scene; Still photographer
Laine Marsh; Equipment Manager Shannon Boyle -- who added
still photography; and Crew Member Jonathan Extract -- shooting
digital video and aiding with production needs.
