A couple of years ago, I reviewed The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and Damien noted that the film begged comparisons with An American Haunting.

Novel Review: The Stars My Destination
The Burning Man opened his tiger mouth. A grating sound emerged. It was like flaming laughter.

Review: DC Universe Holiday Special
BATMAN: A tie?
HAWKGIRL: You already had a nuclear defabrophibulator.
The misleading #1 on the cover actually marks this as a “one-shot,” which is equally misleading because DC has been doing holiday specials intermittently for decades.
The 2008 offering features some strong art, a few passable stories, and a lot of filler.
