1088: Hi--I'm looking for a good ghost story

1018: Ah! Okay.. let's see....

1088: Maybe something set in the past

1018: There are the classics, like @202190 and @170119

1088: I liked both of those!  I also liked @131178

1018: @202190 is the early 80s... which I guess is the past now... Jeez, I feel old lol

1018: I have not seen @131178

1088: Right?  Me too :).

1088: I also like some of the Japanese horror movies that have ghosts

1018: It's not a ghost story, but it is a good horror flick set in the past... @125540 is about Dr. Jekyl's maid.

1088: Oh, wow!  That sounds really interesting.

1088: I like costume dramas, so that sounds perfect

1018: It is! very different. It has Julia Roberts and John Malkovich.

1088: What about anything else sort of like that?

1018: I like costume dramas as well, and @125540 has a ton of costumes. Corsets and brocade everywhere

1018: @121148 is very well done. Set in the victorian era, very well directed and photographed.

1088: Nice!  @131976 is one of my favorites, too

1018: @94963 is cheesy but fun, and it is heavy on the costumes and scenery.

1088: I've seen @121148 and I loved the costumes in that, too

1018: Gary Oldman has some pretty fabulous looks going on in that one for sure.

1088: Still haven't seen @94963 , but I need to put that back on my radar.  Thanks for the suggestion!
