IF YOU GO

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

You’ll have to fend off flying ‘blood’ from Joseph Dilmore’s slaughterhouse along the Reaper’s Revenge trail in Montdale.

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

You’ll see this ghoul as you walk through the Trails of Terror Halloween walk in West Wyoming.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

But you’ll never see this creature coming in Pitch Black, the completely dark walk-through component of Reaper’s Revenge.

ant to buy a house that was boarding space for traveling vaudeville troupes in the 1920s? What if you knew the house was haunted by one of the troupes? Would you still be interested?

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

Just try to dodge the blood-thirsty reapers along the Reaper’s Revenge trail in Montdale, Scott Township.

as Krueger and Myers, as well as scenes that involve a slaughterhouse (where you might get wet with “blood”) and the ever-present reaper figures. The ride stops abruptly and sends the crowd on foot through a Lost Carnival, making them weave in and out of authentic carnival paraphernalia, sideshow freaks at every turn. Then it’s back to the hayride to escape the Reaper’s field, and, just when you thought it was all over, the indoor all-dark walkthrough Pitch Black awaits. “We want to be the Stephen King of haunts,” operator Paul Kotran said. “We want to get in your mind, mess with you. Sometimes less is more.” Next up, on the west side of the Susquehanna River, this is the first

year the Trails of Terror Halloween Walk, put on by the West Wyoming Fire Department, will take place at that location. The half-mile woods walk plays on classic scares, such as clowns and chainsaw-wielding ghouls. It also takes a turn into urban-legend territory, inviting visitors into an abandoned shack to test the story of Bloody Mary, a ghost said to appear in mirrors when summoned. Watch your back as you walk because shadows are known to lurk among tour groups, revealing themselves at the last second. Also stay alert at the end of the tour, when things really start to heat up. “We go for the old-fashioned scare,” crew member David Gutowski said. “We also focus in on the people we can tell are nervous.

That’s what you have to determine as you walk through Gravestone Manor’s theatrical production, “Killjoy’s Revenge.” For the first time in its 13 years, the Manor is attempting a sequel to a previous skit. Gravestone Manor, in Plains Township, isn’t a typical haunted attraction in that it’s an interactive mystery story. “We combine a lot of elements other haunted houses have,” Cory Brin, an eight-year volunteer, said. “We rely on actors, plot, props and special effects to scare people.” A “real-estate agent” will act as tour guide and show groups around the home. Five years ago Gravestone put on “The Legend of Killjoy,” a story about a vaudeville troupe with a clown who killed every member of the group. “What you came to find out, though, is that he didn’t really do it; the blame was just put on him,” Brin said, “and now this year the name Killjoy is being dropped a lot.” Meanwhile, light on story but heavy on eye-poppers comes Reaper’s Revenge in Scott Township, now in its third year of operation. A hayride puts visitors up close with classic horror characters such

’50s fundraiser a rocking good time By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

Poodle skirts. Cars with shiny chrome. A chance to rock around the clock. If you think that sounds like fun, you’re invited to “Hot Rods & Cool Dancing Shoes.” Planned by fans of the 1950s, the fundraiser to benefit the Wilkes-Barre Free Health Clinic will take place from 5 to 10 p.m. tomorrow at St. Nicholas Hall in Wilkes-Barre. You’ll be sure to notice the 40 or 50 classic cars parked nearby in the Holy Redeemer High School parking lot. Indoors, you’ll find fresh popcorn as well as hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza – the kind of refreshments that make organizer Alice Baran feel nostalgic for the area’s “first fast-food restaurant,” where she and other teens of the 1950s used to hang out. “The hamburgers were 10 cents, or maybe a quarter,” she remembers. Tribute artist George Rittenhouse will sing Elvis songs, the “Changing Habits” group will perform and DJ Ed DeMichele will provide sounds of the ’50s for dancing. “I think we’ll do ‘The Stroll.’

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

Alice Baran and Carin Pientka, in front, and Marge Koval, Patrick Gagliardi, Jeanne Gagliardi, Bill Behm and Debbie McGuinness, standing, planned the event.

That was a big ’50s dance,” said Baran, who encourages guests to dress in the clothes of the era. She and other committee members already have their poodle skirts. The $30 tickets will benefit the Wilkes-Barre Free Clinic, where medical and dental care is provided to people who have no jobs and no insurance. It is housed at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and co-sponsored by St. Nicholas

‘Frost/Nixon’ recalls biblical bout By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

Do you remember David and Goliath? A youth with a slingshot defeats a giant, much to the shock of the onlookers. The play “Frost/Nixon” sends another David into conflict, this time against a former President named Richard Milhous. Once again, David wins. “They (Nixon’s advisers) were expecting softball questions because David Frost was a talkshow host, the kind of person you’d expect to interview actors and actresses and musicians,” said John Schugard, who is directing the play for Little Shiny Things Productions. But Frost had researchers who had uncovered evidence about Nixon’s knowledge of the Watergate break-in, giving Frost ammunition for a serious journalistic grilling. “David Frost presented so much evidence, it would have been obvious Nixon was continuing to lie if he had not been candid,” Schugard said. The play, based on a series of 1977 interviews, will captivate audiences, Schugard predicted. “I could not put the script down until I had finished it,” he

Restaurant Review

Divine pierogies turned out here

o, how did YOU spend National Pierogi Day? What’s that? You didn’t know it was National Pierogi Day? We forgive you. You have time to make it up to a signature NEPA cuisine that we hope got its due and then some Oct. 8. In honor of the humble pasta pocket, we set out to find some of the homemade variety and didn’t have to look much farther than Pizza Heaven in Luzerne, which puts out more than sweet pizza. Here, it’s best to buy your ’rogies by the dozen ($7.95 prepared or $6.95 frozen) because they’re small in size though huge on flavor. You have essentially two choices: with butter and onions or fried. We had one order of each, and both impressed. The potato-cheese filling was cloudsoft, evocative of the billows that appear around the gleaming Pearly Gates on the Pizza Heaven website. Think mashed potatoes whipped mercilessly with nary a lump. In the butter-and-onion incarnation, the onions were diced up tiny, a pleasure for onion-lovers but a bit frustrating for a hater who had a harder time picking off his enemies. The fried variety was the real surprise, with each pierogi resembling a deep-fried ravioli only bigger but not crisp. Instead of an overly crunchy coating of fried grease, picture something lightly breaded and flash-fried. These

Cheers!

Are you ready to get spooked? Stand in front of your bathroom mirror in the dark and repeat: Bloody Mary…Bloody Mary… Or head to KB Guilford’s Pub and Grill in Wyoming, a bar that hosts “Bloody Sundays,” with the Bloody Mary as the feature drink. Owner Bob Guilford decided to showcase the drink on Sundays because that’s when folks might need it most. “Bloody Marys are very good for hangovers,” he said. “It’s a Sunday, you want to relax, you might not be feeling so hot from the previous night. This could definitely help you out.” The Bloody Mary is often

came with sour cream and could be eaten as a finger food. Handy. Having paid homage to pierogies, we moved on to the pizza and wing family, given the name of the establishment and all. A seven-cut tray is $8.75, plus $1.75 per topping, and onions are standard, so specify if you don’t want them. The important thing to know is the style of the pizza, of course: Here it’s rectangular, with that lightly “fried” bottom and light-cheese, fresh-tomato, sweetish top. Rather like Pizza L’Oven (if that’s what you were thinking) and probably because the recipe apparently has some roots there. We oohed and aahed and heaped praise upon it. We rounded out our meal with a pound

each of “Heavenly Bites,” Pizza Heaven’s take on the classic boneless wing, one “Heavenly Mild” and one “Purgatory” (medium). When they say bites, they do mean bites, so don’t expect anything nearly as big as a wing. In fact, think one bite per bite and order appropriately. (One pound is $7.95.) The great news is here a bite actually tastes like a tiny chicken wing. We all said it. Forget diced-up chicken breast with some wing sauce over top; here the bite is actually crisply coated with a nice little crunch we loved. We also loved the heavenly theme that carries throughout the online menu and the soft interior décor. Onion rings are called “angel halos,” for example, and, for a foil, wings can be ordered “Hot As Hell.” The place is small but fun and peaceful, too. Welcoming and cozy, with a friendly staff. Rather like we hope the real heaven will be. If we make it. Times Leader food critics remain anonymous.

A rare breed of remake By RENE RODRIGUEZ McClatchy Newspapers

IF YOU GO

n 1983, Paramount Pictures signed Michael Cimino to direct “Footloose.” The Oscar winner for the bloody Vietnam drama “The Deer Hunter,” who also bankrupted an entire studio with “Heaven’s Gate,” left the project after demanding to make Dean Pitchford’s script “darker.” Herbert Ross stepped in to direct, and “Footloose” became a hit and made Kevin Bacon a star. Cimino ran off to direct Oliver Stone’s “Year of the Dragon,” one of the wildest, most brazenly racist crime dramas ever released. We are left to imagine how Cimino’s “Footloose” might have turned out. There’s a hint early in the new remake. Director Craig Brewer is shrewd enough to open his “Footloose” by paying homage to the original, with a note-for-note cover of Kenny Loggins’ famous theme song sung by Blake Shelton and an exhilarating dancingfeet sequence. Then, just as your spirits are soaring, a horrible car crash changes everything. Brewer places much more emphasis on the story’s adults, spe-

What: “Footloose” ★★ 1/2 Starring: Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid, Andie MacDowell, Miles Teller Directed by: Craig Brewer Running time: 110 minutes Rated: PG-13 for brief vulgar language, vehicular violence, adult themes

cifically the Rev. Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) and his wife (Andie MacDowell), the leading proponents of the ban on dancing and loud music in small-town Bomont. Years later, Boston teen Ren MacCormack (newcomer Kenny Wormald) moves to town, falls for Shaw’s daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough) and curiously causes sudden bursts of hip-hop

dance-offs and line dancing. Unlike most recent teen-oriented remakes, this has been made by people with genuine affection for the original. Brewer has thrown in plenty of tips of the hat to the 1984 hit. Although he had trouble casting the movie — everyone from Zac Efron to Chace Crawford passed, resulting in a hot D-list cast of unknowns — the actors acquit themselves admirably. Wormald, a formally trained dancer, has a much more convincing repartee than Bacon did, while Hough (“Dancing With the Stars”) pulls off the feat of seeming unattainable to Ren at first. The result is that rare breed of big-studio pictures: A remake that makes sense. Any limitations are part of its charm.

‘The Big Year’ lands the little laughs By ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel

IF YOU GO

“The Big Year” is a birdwatching comedy with big stars, manic birders traveling hither and yon trying to pile up the most species sightings. Brad (Jack Black) is an overweight computer code-cruncher who spends all his spare time and cash birding. Stu (Steve Martin) is a company president ready to retire and leave behind his wife and Aspen estate to spend a year chasing birds. Ken-

What: “The Big Year” ★★ 1/2 Starring: Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson Directed by: David Frankel Running time: 99 minutes Rated: PG for language and some sensuality

ny (Owen Wilson) is a wealthy contractor who holds the “big year” record and is something of an insufferable rock star in birder circles.

New on DVD The flood of comic-book hero movies continues with this week’s new DVD releases. ••• “GREEN LANTERN,” GRADE C-: A test pilot is granted a mystical green ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers. Ryan Reynolds stars. “HORRIBLE BOSSES,” GRADE B+: Three mistreated employees hatch a plot to eliminate their

bad bosses. Also new on DVD this week: “THE TREE OF LIFE:” The story of a complicated relationship between a father and son. Brad Pitt and Sean Penn star. “ZOOKEEPER:” Animals come to the aid of the zookeeper. Kevin James stars. “JUDY MOODY AND THE NOT BUMMER SUMMER:” An imaginative young girl creates her own vacation adventures.

The subject seems ripe for mockery or at least gentle lampooning, but David Frankel never lands the big laughs, just a few giggles. I like how the Beatles’ “Blackbird” is woven into the score, though it seems to set the tone here. There’s not enough energy to lift this above a fairly dry account of an odd subculture. It’s OK to say golf is a hobby and birding a calling. But show us why.

Movie Amy During the past couple of weeks, a handful of low-key but essential releases have hit DVD. Further proof that the best movies often can be found off the beaten track. ••• “CRACKS” (2011, IFC, R, $25):” “Casino Royale’s” Eva Green wows as a boarding-school instructor named Miss G. who casts a spell over her teenage charges. But it’s Miss G who falls hardest of all when an exotic student named Fiamma (Maria Valverde) arrives at the sequestered academy. The film, written and directed by Jordan Scott (Ridley’s daughter), is eye candy that doubles as a strangely compelling cautionary tale about the dangers of obsessive love. ••• “THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED” (2011, LIONSGATE, PG, $28): This warm hug of a father/son drama boasts a touching performance from J.K. Simmons (“Juno”) as a father who gets a second chance with his long-estranged son Gabriel (Lou Taylor Pucci) after Gabriel suffers a brain injury that leaves him believing it’s still1968. It may sound like a symphony of sentimentality, but it’s fiercely unique, with a soundtrack of Grateful Dead gems as well as characters who are bracingly three-dimensional. ••• “QUEEN TO PLAY” (2010, ZEITGEIST, UNRATED, $30): “Effortlessly delightful” is the best way to describe this charmer of a tale about a hotel maid (Sandrine Bonnaire) who becomes inexplicably obsessed with playing chess. As she unlocks the keys to the game, with the help of her boss (Kevin Kline), she opens up to life’s possibilities. All of a sudden, she notices the beauty of her surroundings and renews her relationship with her husband. Relax into the warmth of a movie that’s beguiling from the first frame to the last.

ALSO OPENING What: “The Thing” ★ 1/2 Starring: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen Directed by: Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. Genre: Horror/Mystery/Sci-Fi Plot summary: At an Antarctica research site, the discovery of an alien craft leads to a confrontation between graduate student and a scientist. While the scientist keeps to his research, the student partners with a helicopter pilot to pursue the alien life form. Running time: 103 minutes Rated: R for strong creature violence and gore, disturbing images and language

Big noise for just a trio IF YOU GO

Walk into a venue where Oddesea HE is playing, and you’d think a six-piece band was blowing the roof off. But only three people are responsible for all the racket. Johnny Diamond, 62, of Exeter, Brian “Boots” Bankovich, 38, of Wyoming and Jenifer Sinclair, 50, of Catawissa make up the show band – the initials stand for “high energy” – that covers everything from the 1950s to current radio hits. The group also puts on themed shows, such as Johnny Cash, Elvis, Neil Diamond, Doo-Wop, ’60s Flashback and Saturday Night Disco. “We’re not just going up there to play a couple tunes,” Diamond said. “We’re getting full-on dressed up. People go see a band to be entertained, not just sit and listen to music.” Members have varied musical backgrounds. This is Sinclair’s first foray as a band member, but she’s sung for 20 years. Bankovich, trained on all instruments, earned a bachelor’s degree in music education and instrumental performance at Mansfield University. And Diamond, a Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley imitator, has been on the local scene since age 14. Diamond is the band’s driving force, having introduced Sinclair to the instruments she plays for Oddesea and pushed Bankovich to hone his vocal skills. Diamond sings and plays the harp and drums, while Bankovich takes care of lead and harmony vocals and sax. Sinclair covers lead and harmony vocals, percussion and everything from the tambourine and triangle to a syn-

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS

JUMBLE

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

‘Criminal Minds,’ will be returning Q. I am hooked on “Criminal Minds.” I watch reruns and more reruns. What is the history behind this series? And is it out on DVD? A. “Criminal Minds” premiered on CBS in September 2005. It focused on a group of criminal profilers working for the FBI; the team was led by Jason Gideon, played by Mandy Patinkin; the cast also included Thomas Gibson, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler, Lola Glaudini, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness. At the beginning of the second season, Glaudini left the show and Paget Brewster joined the cast. After the end of the second season, Patinkin left the show, reportedly because of creative differences. He was replaced by Joe Mantegna. Cook later left the cast amid talk that it was having to trim budget, and it appeared Brewster was out, too. But fans hollered about Cook and Brewster. And for the current, seventh season, which began Wednesday, CBS lists Mantegna, Gibson, Moore, Gubler, Vangsness, Cook and Brewster as regular cast members. A spinoff series, “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior,” aired on CBS earlier this year. In spite of a cast led by Forest Whitaker, it was not picked up for a second season. But “Suspect Behavior” is on DVD, as are six seasons of the original “Criminal Minds.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

PAGE 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ask for what

you want. Your needs will be met. This might be difficult for you to believe, having often been ignored by those too selfabsorbed to really see you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You need guidance and direction. It is unfair of you to believe you will find your way on your own. Why waste time wandering aimlessly? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Only seek relationships with those who are emotionally available. You need to be around a giver.

PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

CRYPTOQUOTE

ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com With the proper nurturing, you could heal an old wound. It’s time for this to happen. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You realize that even if you are undeniably in the right, arguing with a stranger is senseless and will get you exactly nowhere. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your physical response to stress might not be to your liking, but rest assured your body knows what it’s doing. It’s giving you the energy to handle things and handle them well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel safe, even with people you don’t know too well. You’ll open up in some way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are starting to realize that doing the right thing for yourself once or twice a week is simply

not enough. It’s important that you make regular practice of it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You would rather make others feel relaxed, or even superior, than intimidated. You’ll humble yourself even when you are fully aware that it is unnecessary or inaccurate to do so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A sadness in you will find release. This might come about in your life or through your identification with another person’s story. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Morning brings a fortuitous event, one that you expect will occur again in the future. Your expectation of continued luck may be the very thing that makes it so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You seem

like you have everything together. This isn’t exactly true, though. Be mindful of your unmet needs. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You think you’re fine on your own, but until you experience a deeper sense of fellowship and community, you won’t realize what you’re missing. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 14). Your beauty is enhanced by your kindness. You’ll let someone go in April and find out that they want you all the more because of the freedom that comes with loving you. November, May and June are the most profitable months. Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 49, 29 and 14.

Trash talking creates stink after warring couple reconciles Dear Abby: When my son “Lyle” told my husband and me that his wife, “Becky,” was leaving him and taking their kids where he would not be able to see them, we were shocked. Lyle consulted an attorney, filed for divorce that day, and got a restraining order to keep Becky from running off with the kids. We begged them to go to counseling. As things progressed, Lyle learned about

DEAR ABBY ADVICE several of Becky’s affairs, her drug use and her chronic lying, and told us every awful, shocking detail. He also made sure our entire family knew about his lying, cheating, conniving wife. Well, today my son announced to us that he and Becky are back together! We are stunned. Abby, please warn people who are considering

divorce to keep their mouths shut, because spreading dirt helps no one and can cause real problems later. Any advice on how to deal with this mess now? — Wish We Were Never Told Dear Wish: While I’m not a doctor, I am prescribing a healthy dose of collective amnesia for your family. It’s the only way you’ll be able to look Becky in the eye. Your son was lining up allies when he trashed her. Whether or not

GOREN BRIDGE

what he said about her was true or exaggerated, no one will regard her — or him — quite the way they did. Dear Abby: My wife and I are the parents of three young boys — ages 11, 8 and 3. My wife often walks around our bedroom and bathroom naked, or topless with lacy underpants. I feel it is inappropriate for her to walk around in this manner and that she should take care to cover up, especially in front of the older boys. What do you think? — Blushing in San Jose, Calif.

THE GUIDE

Dear Blushing: Although families have different standards regarding nudity, I think a touch of modesty is the best policy. If your wife enjoys being nude or topless in the confines of your bedroom and bathroom, she should keep the door shut, and ask that the boys knock and ask permission before entering. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

THE GUIDE

‘Gentleman’ pulled in its prime time By SANDRA SNYDER ssnyder@timesleader.com

And another one down, another one down … Welcome to dust-biting season, TV fans, the time of year when one heavily hyped, heavily advertised (or not) show after another just up and disappears thanks to “meager” ratings, meager as in 8.98 million viewers. Case in point: CBS’ “How To Be A Gentleman.” The latest new sitcom reportedly on the ropes pulled in that “alarming” number for its Sept. 29 premiere. Seems nearly 40 percent more folks (adweek.com) watched “The Big Bang Theory” immediately preceding. Big deal, I say. “Big Bang” has been around long enough to establish an audience. Two episodes cannot a following make! As surely one of many with a backed-up DVR due to other obligations, I bristle. Some shows, no doubt, deserve no second chance, and you have to you wonder how they got to primetime in the first place. Others might just need a little push and a little more marketing. “How To Be A Gentleman,” starring David Hornsby and Kevin Dillon as a modern-day odd couple who met in high school and have reconnected through a twist of fate, is one of them. Hornsby is a genteel and mannerly magazine columnist and Dillon a dimwitted personal trainer. The latter is tasked with bulking up the former, literally

’How To Be A Gentleman’ stars David Hornsby and Kevin Dillon as a modern-day odd couple who met in high school and have reconnected through a twist of fate.

and figuratively, as his magazine chases that all-important younger, trendier demographic. Some of the funniest lines and moments, though, have come from Dave Foley as the columnist’s boss. To keep up (and impress his 25-year-old boss) he colors his 50-year-old hair and falls off fitness balls masquerading as office chairs, but he does try, or at least keeps up the appearance of trying, all while delivering rather sardonic one-liners that leave you longing for more from him. Doesn’t look good, though. Production on “Gentleman” has been halted, and remaining episodes will air in the wasteland of Saturday night beginning at 8:30 tomorrow. Have better things to do? Do yourself a favor and set your DVR. Then watch what you’re missing by Sunday, Monday at the latest, so these numbers-crunchers can count you in. Give a good guy a chance.
