Chapter 612: Winchester

In fact, Charlotte wanted the crew of "Evil Force" to take advantage of the filming opportunity to go around the supernatural locations around the United States, and did have the intention of taking the opportunity to find some ghosts or other things to enhance her own power.

In particular, this is very much in line with the positioning of the Winchester brothers in the story.

- These two brothers were originally driving a number of classic cars, skewering around the United States, constantly looking for ghosts and then catching ghosts!

In fact, the first place Charlotte wanted the crew to go was the famous Winchester Mystery House.

- This is also the origin of the surnames of the two brothers Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester in the script.

The so-called Winchester Mystery House, located in San Jose, California, United States, is a very sprawling building.

The mystery house was built in 1884 with the investment of a widow named Sarah Winchester.

Her husband, William Winchester, was the inventor of the famous "Winchester rifle" in the United States.

When her husband Winchester and one of their baby girls died suddenly, a grief-stricken Sara went to visit an "astrologer".

The "astrologer" told her that her husband's invention of the rifle had caused many deaths, and that her home had been "cursed" by the souls of the dead under the guns.

In order to break the curse, she must constantly build rooms for these ghosts to live in, and the house must be built as weird as possible.

- The superstitious Sara believed it.

She bought an eight-room Victorian farmhouse in San Jose, California, and began adding houses around the farm with her husband's huge inheritance until it was seven stories tall.

Later, when a major earthquake struck San Francisco, the top three floors of the house collapsed, and Sara ordered someone to start rebuilding.

- For 38 years, Sara built the Winchester Mystery House.

The house grew and collapsed and rebuilt until Sarah's death in 1922, when the "Winchester Mystery House" ceased to be built and remains at its size today.

And because it is for "fooling around", although the shape of the Winchester Mystery House on the surface is elegant and antique, the design in the house is even more strange -

There are so many doors and windows in the house. Sometimes even a window will suddenly open on the floor, and the unsuspecting person may fall through this window if he is not careful;

When some of the doors in the room were opened, there was no way out in front of them, only a cold concrete wall;

When some doors are opened, there is a void in front of them, and if you are not careful, you will fall from a high place into the garden below.

The windows are covered with acid-etched ground glass, and the patterns on them are cobwebs......

Some people who never believe in the existence of ghosts have also said that they have heard some strange sounds or seen some strange phenomena when visiting the mystery house.

In Charlotte's opinion, this is a very normal thing -

After all, the Winchester Mystery House is huge and has a strange structure, and it is not strange to get lost in it if there is no one to lead the way.

In this environment, people are naturally nervous and prone to hallucinations.

What's more, as the birthplace of many absurd and bizarre legends in the United States, according to Charlotte's spell theory, Winchester Mystery House will indeed give birth to some ghosts because of people's fantasies or beliefs.

Although it may be very weak.

In fact, Charlotte had been to this place once before as Patrick Jane-

Now the owners of the Winchester Mystery House have opened this place to the outside world as a supernatural type of attraction.

- The kind that costs a fee, of course.

Charlotte stalked around the room and found a slight "thing", but to him, it was better than nothing.

However, if you want to shoot the American drama "Evil Force", this is a good location for filming.

Of course, how to make it a location seems to be a problem.

However, it is not difficult.

In addition to being proficient in spells, Charlotte now has another ability that is not a superpower, but is better than a superpower-

Rich!

While it may not be enough for Batman to buy a bank in order to settle his friend Superman's debt problems, it's okay to buy Winchester Mystery House.

Especially in the United States, an old house like the Winchester Mystery House is actually quite expensive to maintain.

The reason why the current owner of the house has to charge for the opening tour is also for the purpose of reducing losses.

But as far as Charlotte knows, she is still struggling to make ends meet.

- No way, this special supernatural attraction is not as high as places like Las Vegas.

- Except for some supernatural enthusiasts, there are few people who like to visit here.

Anyway, it is unlikely that you can count on making money.

So, Charlotte was confident that she could easily buy it.

In this way, the problem of letting the crew of "Evil Force" shoot the exterior location here is solved.

Of course, Charlotte wants to buy Winchester Mystery House, and it's not just for this reason.

After all, even if it can be used as a location for TV dramas or even movies, unless it has a high utilization rate, it will still lose money to maintain this old house.

Charlotte's real purpose is actually to take advantage of the characteristics of this place as the source of many supernatural stories in the United States, and transform it into a house that will help her practice spells.

- Although Charlotte is still researching how to do this, the prerequisites are in place to achieve this goal.

It's just that this purpose is not to mention Mr. Westwood, it's the old guns, and Charlotte doesn't plan to tell them for the time being.

Therefore, the demand for the filming of "Evil Force" has become his reason or excuse.

Mr. Westwood didn't know what was going on in Charlotte's mind.

After accepting Charlotte's point of view, he no longer dwelled on the specific shooting of "Evil Force".

- After all, those are the details of the back.

Instead, he opened the script of "The Vampire Diaries".

"So what's going on with this series?—— a vampire-themed teen romance drama? Are you planning to make a series like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?"

- "Vampire Slayer Buffy" is a series that began to air on TV B in 1997, as the name suggests, is a fantasy youth drama starring Sarah Michelle Gaeira.

This series is also famous at this time, but Westwood is not optimistic about this genre -

"I also have some connections on TV B, and as far as I know, the ratings of this series are declining. Now, TV station B actually has an opinion on whether to continue to renew this series. And if we make another series like this......"

"I see what you mean. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"However, you may be misunderstood, "The Vampire Diaries" is actually not the same genre as "Vampire Slayer Buffy......"
