Spirited Away?
I remember reading the wikipedia entry a couple of years ago. It even had a picture of the house. Can't see it now.

HOWLS MOVING CASTLE!
well, in the english release!
cheers - svaed me a night of head fuckery! heheh!

NP http://occultliving.com/archives/442 for more about Baba yagas house ;)

I'd be careful when visiting that site, my anti-virus just blocked a trojan!

So far seems about right from what I remember when covering it with my days at the archaological trust (when doing tours for the public / schools, we usually finished with the viking sagas, but one week there was some new exhibit at the museums and as a part of that we were all asked to choose another folklore for the weekend. I checked some russian / slavic stuff but ended up doing an old one about tir na oag / tir nan og).
I was gonna say also - not even visited it but i know of it - i also know there are some nutty posts on stuff!
cheers though!

Best film with Baba Yaga - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058374/ :D

It was Howls Moving Castle (in the English release) - Spirited Away was a different tale where the little girl whos moving house goes to the land of the spirits

I actually think a mate of mine has that!

There was an old creepy lady that bossed her around in that one, I just didn't remember if that was Baba Yaga.

I know who you mean - it's quite possible that she was "inspired by" at least as she had a twin sister - one helpful, one not and both quite ambiguous too!

ODDLY - including my key drop earlier today, its been a day of learning on the ninja thread.

Next up: chemistry with Schnuff!

Walking dead on hib sale ! :P So happy!

Baba Yaga= Quest For Glory... one of my favorite Adventure games ever.

Played QFG 3,4, and 5 back in the day. I was a bit upset with the 5th game... 4 was great... and 3 was good. :)

Hoping my clients cough up over the weekend so i can bag it!
never played that actually!

I owned 4, borrowed 5... then got the Anthology (1-4) from a friend... then lost the CDs, and the day they came on GOG, I instantly bought it, despite any financial burdens I was having, lol...

... never regretted it one bit! It took the Adventure game and added some action to it, without comprimising (in my opinion). I liked it most because of that, and the pun humor throughout. I enjoyed 3,4,and 5 the most. It also let you import your character from one game to another. Man, I'm gonna have to play them soon again... I'm busy playing The Dig right now :)

Have to look into that then (when my net stops being gash!
