Keepsakes: an online Lizzie/Emma play
A play by Kip Rosser about Lizzie and Emma was published on the web here. The play is titled Keepsakes, “Two researchers publishing a book about the Borden sisters, find themselves caught in a web of lies that reaches across time, while the aged Lizzie and Emma reunite in a struggle for sanity.” I read […]
Arnold Brown’s Senior Photo
Found this gem: Arnold Brown’s senior high school photo. He graduated from Durfee High School, in Fall River. Brown is the author of Lizzie Borden: the Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter. You can find this book in the true crime section of your local library, but in my opinion, it should be located in […]

Stef’s Blog Round Up — August 24
DareToScare.com has a brief blurb about the Lizzie Borden B&B. Nice plug for the house. The same blog links to a site that I find much more interesting: The International Ghost Hunters Society, which shows one of those supposed ghost photos from 92 Second St.—-this time the spirit’s ectoplasm appearing on the outside of the […]
Shilling Shockers on DVD
On August 13, I posted on what I called “The BEST Lizzie Borden take off video I have ever seen!” Many have agreed with me. Penny Dreadful’s Shilling Shockers produces quality work and I want to support them any way I can. I just got this email and wanted to share it with you: Hello […]

Arnold Brown’s Theory on the Borden Case

It is a collection of Arnold Brown’s interviews for the film strung together. The late Arnold Brown, author of Lizzie Borden, the Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter, believes that […]

The examples shown are from our personal collection of over […]
