Which one is your favorite?!

Mine? Sleeping Beauty!

 Today's post is about how actor 

Johnny Depp saved one of his co-stars 

from "Sleepy Hollow" from death...

true story!

It wasn’t until 15 years into his feature film career that Johnny Depp took the plunge and learned how to ride a horse in a manner befitting an actor willing to do their own stunts, but once he did, he immediately formed an unbreakable connection with his equine co-star in Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow.

The lavish gothic fantasy – which was richly rewarded for his atmospheric execution with an Academy Award for ‘Best Art Direction’ – sees Depp’s protagonist Ichabod Crane spend plenty of time on horseback as he ventures to the titular village in order to unravel the complicated and supernatural truth behind a spate of killings.

During the film, Crane can often be seen in close proximity to his Andalusian horse Gunpowder, who only had one eye. Unbeknownst to the animal – known as Goldeneye for obvious reasons when cameras weren’t rolling – it was set for a trip to the glue factory once shooting had ended, something that Depp simply wouldn’t stand for once he caught wind of his newfound companion’s fate.

As per Horse Nation, Depp adopted the steed as his own once Sleepy Hollow had wrapped filming. Having grown up around horses without becoming an avid rider, Goldeneye was in good hands after being transferred into the custody of a world-renowned and exceedingly wealthy movie star, presumably to live out the rest of its days running wild and free in what was an exponentially better fate than the other option.

Depp’s association with horses on-screen hasn’t always been quite so heartwarming, though, with his stint as Tonto in Pirates of the Caribbean director’s disastrous box office flop The Lone Ranger almost ending in serious injury at the hands of four-legged scene partner Scout: “It all just sort of happened, and I saw everything very clearly, which was the horse’s very muscular front legs moving at a very dangerous speed,” he told The New York Post.

Adding: “And I was still holding on to the mane like an idiot, trying to get back up. And at a certain point you have to make a decision: Do I go down and hit the deck on my own? Or do I wait for the hoof to split my face in two?”

In the end, he decided to go down alone despite knowing “he could have crushed me in seconds” and was “very lucky” to emerge unscathed. Laughing it off, Depp remarked, “the positive thing is my coccyx didn’t take it”. Verbinski wasn’t quite as calm and collected as his leading man, in fairness, dubbing it “one of the scariest moments ever”.

Goldeneye didn’t cause Depp nearly as many life-threatening problems as Scout did more than a decade later, even if you’d expect he would save the horse’s life regardless of how many times he was or wasn’t thrown off.

 Another spooky story from Disneyland...

The Phantom Chef

Submitted by Deanna M.

I remember coming across a chef/cook in our break room storage area. At this time they where doing some construction in our break room. While I was on my lunch break, I was alone in the lunch room minding my business eating lunch. 

Of course Cast Members come and go to walk back stage as needed. Well at this time he did come from back stage where some chefs or cooks come by to walk on stage to get back to work. Now like I said at this time there was construction going on from what I remember he looked at me and smiled and 

went on his way. 

At this time I just acknowledged him and smiled back. Nothing came to my mind that this man was a ghostly friend. When I got home I noticed that I didn’t hear the steps going out on stage or 

hear the elevator go up! 

Our break room was small enough I hear anyone come in and out of this break room. One day everything clicked when my aunt and I where talking about it and that’s when I realized that I saw a ghost.

 Today's post is about Halloween items available at Yankee Candle.

Not much "whoop" with what they have to offer.

As I stated in a prior post - Yankee Candle did away with the Boney Bunch (for now - makes me wonder if they may return in the future!)

What they have available now has no creativity and looks so cheap.

But that's my opinion - someone may like it!

What do you think?

There are a few more items available online.

 Today's post I'd like to share Bath and Body Works Halloween Collection 2024!

I LOVE the luminaries - but they are sooooo expensive, and by the time clearance prices start they are gone!

So sad - maybe someday!

THANK YOU to the creative staff at Bath and Body Works!

All the Halloween items are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!

ALL WINNERS!
