When Sis wakes up in her father's backyard, staring at a rickety old shed, she can't remember how she got there or even who she is. But she remembers Amy, the sister that disappeared long ago, the same sister that she now hears calling to her from the shed. When Sis enters the shed she discovers that Amy is only there in spirit, and she is speaking to her through a new body, and that body just happens to be a chainsaw. Amy reveals to Sis that she was murdered by a local crime ring and she needs Sis to seek revenge for her. Sis agrees to the task and as Amy guides her to the home of each man responsible, Sis uses Amy's new body to hack them to pieces. But the situation isn't as straightforward as it seems at first. As Sis comes face to face with each man, she finds herself in the middle of unfamiliar flashbacks that put her at the scene of a heinous crime of which she has no recollection. In time, she begins to believe that these are not her memories and Amy isn't telling her everything she needs to know. What lies ahead beyond the coming bloodbath is something darker and more disturbing than Sis could have imagined. Who is Amy? Who is Sis? And what connection do they both have to the men she's about to murder? And why is her sister now a telepathic chainsaw?

The night of the possums began on a chilly autumn morning around 2am in late October. On a dark country road, a young man is torn to shreds by wild animals. The news of his grisly death rocks the town. When a similar death occurs later that day, the town is in the grips of fear. In rural Bardstown, Kentucky, opossums have risen up against the populace. People are being maimed and devoured throughout the city. These are not your ordinary opossums, either: they are smarter, stronger, faster, and far more vicious-some larger than any opossum anyone has ever seen, growing as long as four feet and as heavy as fifty pounds, with teeth capable of cleaving bone. As the flesh-eating scourge quickly spreads from one end of Bardstown to the other, a few of those who survived the attacks band together in an attempt to eradicate the maniac marsupials. But, the number of the beasts grows by the hour and the force becomes too insurmountable; the survivors soon realize escape is their only option. But, beyond the berserk behavior of the carnivorous creatures is a darker secret-something ancient and unnatural that threatens all those who are bitten. Before anyone can find out what is driving these opossums to kill, the survivors must battle their way through the merciless onslaught of claws and teeth and leave the threat of Bardstown behind them.

Filmmakers, actors, actresses, comedians, writers, musicians-all have played their part in building the empire that is Hollywood. Many have legacies that are marred by controversy, mystery, and tragedy. But regardless of the scandals that followed these entertainers, they seem to inspire and influence moviegoers and television audiences all across the country; and because of this, they leave legacies that are not soon forgotten. But, not all of these artists and entertainers have simply left memories behind. According to different reports, there are some who allegedly haven't left at all. Many people have claimed to have seen the ghosts and spirits of some of these celebrities lingering in places they knew and loved in life. Jacob and Jenny Floyd, authors of Louisville's Strange and Unusual Haunts and Kentucky's Haunted Mansions, have researched some of these claims and compiled them for their latest book. Read Haunts of Hollywood Stars and Starlets to see if any of your favorites made the list.
