The Ghost and Mrs. Muir w/Magnolia Porter Siddell

Are You Afraid of the Dark Universe?

In our latest guest pitch episode, writer and cartoonist Magnolia Porter Siddell brings us her take on the 1947 supernatural romance The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, in which a fiercely independent widow grows attached to the deceased sailor (sorry, SEAMAN, he wants to be called a seaman) who haunts her new house. Dylan & Dalton are immediately taken with the original film, but how can a story about ghosts fit into their Dark Universe, where the absence of ghosts has been an important plot point? Magnolia has some ideas, and where D&D take them might have serious implications for the upcoming Dark Legion: Death's Door!
