HauntedThe album Haunted was released by singer/songwriter Poe in the year 2000. After a five year hiatus from her debut album "Hello" in 1995 she released this, a totally self produced, 18 track tribute to her brother Mark Z. Danielewski's novel "House of Leaves."
The album found Poe combining traditional pop music notions with electronic, dance and hard rock music. By all rights it should have been a huge success, but unfortunately all of the promotional tie-ins for the album flopped. The song "Hey Pretty" was released as a single, but Poe's vocals had been replaced with a chapter reading from her brother, so it only served to promote his novel instead. The music video for the song was deemed too racy for MTV (it showed Poe writhing around in mud in nothing but a bra.) A follow up single, "Wild," was released because it had been chosen as the theme song to a new TV drama. However, the show was cancelled after two episodes. Finally, the title track was used as the theme song to the film "Blair Witch 2: the Book of Shadows." The movie was a miserable failure. The album did not do very well, and eventually it's poor sales contributed to Poe losing her contract with Atlantic Records. another room.html">room, out of sight of the murdered girl.html">girl.html">girl, in whose presence
