Sherlock Holmes The Haunted Baskervilles & The Maidens of Usher

THE HAUNTED BASKERVILLES is a captivating sequel to Arthur Conan Doyle's original novel named THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. Sherlock Holmes, and his companion Dr. John Watson, are drawn back to the eerie moors of the Baskerville estate by a mysterious letter. As they revisit the Baskerville case, the detectives meet a vengeful old adversary, Rodger Baskerville (Stapleton), and an enigmatic new antagonist, Professor James Moriarty Thornton (aka Mr. Edgewood). Holmes and Watson land us in a suspenseful tale, with mysterious sightings of wandering African spirits on the moors, challenging the wits of our iconic detective duo.

THE MAIDENS OF USHER is inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's short story — about the FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER. Lady Madeline Usher herself seeks out Holmes and Watson to help her ward off the supernatural assaults aimed at the destruction of the House of Usher. The House, she reveals, serves as a time machine connecting the realm of the living with the realm of the dead. Bluebeard's old legend appears less of a tale and becomes close to reality, but before worse can happen his evil plans are idled by seven talented actress-singers.

"What we wish to achieve in life,"
Conroe says,
"we can best strive for by continually learning
and developing ourselves
while living our lives."

"What Sherlock Holmes teaches us,
is to be observant, reflect and connect the dots
to reveal the unseen. This strategy comes in handy
when setting and adjusting the course
of our own journey in life,
based on precisely his methods."
