The Sensationalizing of The Night of the Raven

Melvin Pell sold his story "Midnight Under Glass: The True Night of the Raven" to Garrick Vance, a slick, image-obsessed executive for Obsidian Lantern Studios. Vance has a reputation for buying up strange, local legends and repackaging them into prestige “docu-fantasy” series that blur truth and fiction just enough to sell to the "C" grade film crowd. Behind the scenes, Vance has a talent for digging up real, dangerous details from his sources — not to uncover them, but to weaponize them for marketing. Above is an image from the trailer for the film which includes just enough enigma to suck in the late night insomniac crowd. And this where the trouble started.
