Addovolt Explorations "A Murky Path Down Archer Avenue" short documentary

The short documentary, "Murky Path Down Archer Avenue", has been uploaded.  This project--an addition to the Addovolt Explorations short documentary series--is a 13-minute long film exploring the very creepy folklore relating to Chicago's infamously haunted street.

And here is the video on YouTube:

Very Special Thanks to Michael Marius Massett for doing narration and music compositions.  And, also, Very Special Thanks to Andre Almaraz for the pitch-perfect original pipe organ main theme music used in variations throughout the film.  Some old music, some new music, some classical and rock and synthpop…..   Lots of good stuff.  After premiering online February 1st, 2019 through Paranormal Globe, "A Murky Path..." has been featured on  Paranormal Daily News, Creepy Americana, Haunt Jaunts, and Fun Size Horror among other publications.

This was a cold shoot and there was plenty of nature involved (expected and unexpected).  No one got pneumonia so that's always a plus.

Addovolt Explorations

Addovolt Explorations is a series of quick, casual, mini-documentaries that we'll be doing on a regular basis between extensive projects (i.e. music videos, films, and longer documentaries).  The Explorations will be focusing on creators, locations, science, and history.  They're kind of like our version of a podcast (sort of, in a way).

The entries so far are (from most recent to oldest):

*"Theoretical" (suspicious?)

*"Illuminated" (look on the bright side)

*"Buried Treasure" (Jurassic Lark)

*"you're projecting" (movies, quite literally, aren't what they used to be)

*"Friends In High Places" (stoned monsters at church)    

*"plastic, fantastic" (for power shoppers only)

*"Resonance" (Greece is the word and it's not about to let you forget it)

*"Cast of Thousands" (these conventions are certainly not boring....)

*"Cereal Invaders" (even when they aren't human, they still manage to be really good salesfolk)

*"A Murky Path Down Archer Avenue" (an entertaining and fast-paced ride through the folklore of the Windy City's spookiest street)

*"Lovely Labels" (unnerving locations and their appropriate names)

*"Wishes and Miles" (Route 66 and its reign as the Main Street of America)

* "Nuclear U" (not every school gets the honor of hosting atomic research beneath its campus)

* "micro manor" (1920's movie star Colleen Moore excelled at fine detail)

* "Galactic" (the first journeys away from Earth weren't quick, cheap, or easy)

* "Greenery" (a downtown spot that will make you feel highbrow in a different sort of way.....)

* "(re)Purposeful" (interesting places that started out for one use and eventually turned into something else entirely)

* "Union Departures" (a quiet graveyard that shouldn't be overlooked)

* "Mystery Masks" (a small neighborhood holds a ton of premium disguises)

* "Well, What?" (an allegedly miraculous water pump in a forest preserve)

* "White City, Emerald City" (Oz Park and the connection between L. Frank Baum and the city of Chicago)
