Paranormal researcher, television host, and author Amy Bruni leads a live, spooky season presentation that peels back the curtain on the true hauntings behind some of the most famous horror movies. She investigates each case through historical context, eyewitness testimony, and evidence documented at the locations themselves. The discussion explores the real stories tied to The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Shining, and The Amityville Horror, asking how a family’s demonic encounter compares with what appears on screen, whether Ed and Lorraine Warren truly kept a sinister doll, how Stephen King’s stay at the Stanley Hotel influenced spectral legends, and what the Lutz family reported, from levitating beds to a pig-like figure with glowing red eyes. The program invites audiences to look beyond jump scares and special effects to the people, places, and encounters that shaped these films, where the reality can be even more unsettling than the fiction. In addition to the talk, Bruni presents a traveling mini museum of haunted artifacts and spiritualist memorabilia that attendees can explore and interact with before and after the show. Bruni is an investigator, author, podcaster, entrepreneur, and television personality whose interest in the supernatural began in childhood, growing up in a home believed to be haunted with a family that accepted their ghostly housemates.

This Commander league spotlights a Reality Fracture theme with a Parallel Reality twist, where legendary creatures can partner if they represent the same Magic character across different versions. Pairings like two iterations of Kaalia, or Ghoulcaller Gisa with Gisa and Geralf, are valid. Lore-based identities such as Akroma with Jeska, as well as Urza with The Blind Seer, also qualify. Commanders from Universes Beyond are not permitted, though cards from those products can still appear in the 99. This includes properties like The Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons. Each partner card must be a legal commander by itself, so creatures and any planeswalkers that are normally allowed as commanders are fine, while lands and noncreature artifacts are not. Existing partner cards are allowed only when both partners are the same character. For this season, the usual EDHREC popularity cap is suspended. A small ban list applies to specific characters and groups. Atraxa is not allowed. All Praetors are excluded, including Elesh Norn, Jin-Gitaxias, Sheoldred, Urabrask, and Vorinclex. All Eldrazi Titans are banned, including Emrakul, Ulamog, and Kozilek. Jodah is not permitted. Two color versions of Niv-Mizzet are not allowed, while five color versions are fine. Deck construction follows a $100 budget that excludes the commander and basic lands, encouraging creative pairings without exhausting the budget on a marquee legend. Gameplay aims for Bracket 2, casual and social matches with no game-warping engines, no two card infinite combos, no fast combo lines, no chaining extra turns, and no mass land destruction. Expect games to reach at least turn eight. This league is not a venue for cEDH, even on a budget. The focus is a friendly environment that values enjoyable tables over oppressive lines. Build with the theme in mind, keep power in check, and remember that players will face each other across multiple games. If a matchup feels unpleasant, it is acceptable to sit out that pairing. The league spans eight weeks and centers on celebrating the spirit of Reality Fracture.
