So our friend Rick just bought a house. Part of the house-selling/buying-agreement was that the previous owner would clean the house before she left. She decided that "cleaning" meant leaving the house completely and utterly filthy.
Enter Pat and I. We are being paid to help Rick clean and renovate the house into the shape that he and his wife want. Money is good, yay.
The house is very interesting to me. It looks like something out of a horror movie -- one of those ones where the people move into a new house that's been empty forever and eventuallly discover its terrible secret. In various rooms there are crayoned messages that state "Help Me!" "Nothing Spot" and "Closet of Doom." There is really strange and yucky goop on the walls. A space in the basement (including a window) has been covered over with a wall -- but you can tell that there's space back there. Likewise, upstairs there's a wall in the master bedroom where you can tell there used to be a door to the outside world. Finally, the downstairs bathroom is painted (badly) a blood red color and is filled with insects.
Overall, this screams horror movie to me. I hope to take some pics tomorrow, although we've already scrubbed off a lot of the "help me's" and the "nothing spot."
In honor (or horror, take your pick) of our gainful employment, I've decided that the theme for this year's Halloween-in-July movie day is haunted houses. Any suggestions for movies? Kt, I'm looking at you in particular...
