@DarkCorners3 Watched Winchester, a great looking but ultimately disappointing movie about Sarah Winchester and the Winchester Mystery House. Bonus points for filming some scenes in the actual house. Fun fact I learned from the film: Winchester made roller skates.
Just watched Winchester (2018) a great looking but rather silly movie starring Helen Mirren as Sarah Winchester. I grew up near the house she devoted her life to building and the film does capture the oddness of the place. One thing I learned: Winchester also made roller skates.
