So I just reread hit me double hard and I’m jw if you think you’ll do anything else with that universe? Maybe like even a sister piece that’s from cass’s POV??
okay so i’m kind of laughing at your timing here, because i actually sat down to write something for the first time in ages last week. so.....maybe? that is the intention, if nothing else.
i did actually do a (much, *much* shorter) cassandra pov for hmdh, which is part of catch the wind - here (i am desperately hoping that link works right.....). i probably won’t do anything more in-depth or anything, but it’s something

-Stream of consciousness kicking around some ideas trying to discover the truth. It's gonna be a bit disjointed and likely full of holes for now but there is a lot to process :)-
On the Barb Mitchell episode of A Dark Companion a new idea came to light... Well at least it was a new idea to me. We've all been wondering what happened in the gap of time when Melissa disappeared. I assumed that we just didn't see what happened and we were just supposed to be racking our brains about it.Â
I'm gonna start with Chapter 9 and see where it takes me.
Chapter 9 begins with her in a black dress approaching the Mansion (the nice lived in looking version). Looks like something she'd wear to a funeral. When she enters the house she is greeted by her Mother who is dressed in a similar fashion (parallels!). Her Mother then turns into the Old Lady. I'll get into who the heck she is later. After some screaming we are zipped through some twiggy imagery and we pop up above Melissa.
Melissa wakes up on the floor of the warehouse dressed in a leather jacket which is not typical for her from what we've seen.Â
Next to her is a sheet of paper with some of those alphabet symbols that have been popping up all over the place.Â
It kind of looks like she was dropped there, especially with the camera angle from above. Maybe she was  " FedoraPorted™ " to this spot.
The dark and mysterious version of Melissa wakes up and, in quite the shocking DSE, walks out past herself. I don't think this is just a cool idea for a shot. I'm thinking either we are getting an overlapped glimpse of 2 different timelines or a representation of the light side being left behind while the dark one walks out. Melissa and i dunno... Helissa?
Melissa is sitting on the floor in a manner that reminds me of someone stuck in this room and has resigned herself to just sitting and waiting to get out.Â
So... when in time did the Mansion scene happen and when did the warehouse happen? We know that later in the film she goes back there again and a pretty intense ritual scene plays out. When Emma goes there the place is clearly in a state where no one has been keeping it up at all.Â
On the podcast I brought up the possibility of either a TIME differential or a DIMENSIONAL one. I still haven't landed on one side or another. Time seems to be winning out for me though especially if the Farley Mason Mansion Mayhem happened not toward the end of this film but actually in between Haunting Melissa and Dark Hearts. I may have gotten too caught up in thinking of time linearly.
It would be kind of interesting though if Emma was standing in the room while simultaneously the Farley situation was happening all around her in an alternate dimension and Fedora turned her iPad into a window to that side. Imagine that... an Augmented Reality app where you could hold up your iPad and see the other side happening right in your living room. Perhaps electronics can ever so slightly tap into the frequencies needed to peek in.
That would certainly explain how Emma could see Fedora approaching Brandon but only through her iPad.
It's no wonder that Melissa can't remember what happened during her lost time. I think any of us would block out such a mind bending event like being in that room with Fedora and his crew.Â
Before I go too far off the rails I am going to rewatch Dark Hearts with a different perspective and I'll continue this in another entry.Â
Thanks for reading and don't forget to check out A Dark Companion and @adarkcompanion on twitter!
March 3rd, 2015 - Later today we've got Barb Mitchell on the line to talk about her role as Katherine Strogue in the films Haunting Melissa and Dark Hearts ( both available in the iOS App store). If you have any questions or thoughts you'd like to share please use the submission link at the top of this page or email them to [email protected] subject "Ask Katherine"!
Faces (see above graphic) I'm still not sure who ??? is and there is something peculiar about the two faces of the Visitor.Â
We can see Melissa has adopted a rather extreme style of eye makeup.
Portal Objects:
The usual floaty items but no discernible attached objects.
Character:
Emma Zeiden
Willis Pipes
The Visitor
Melissa Strogue (Extra Dark)
Did you see that?
Emma is spending time at Casa de Pipes... Where does she live normally?
I think Emma and Willis have a very interesting history beyond just working together at WYOJ 102.
They don't call him The Visitor for nothing...
He's brought a friend
They don't just walk away... they vanish!
Questions:
What is the history between Willis Pipes and Emma Zeiden? Perhaps they have known each other since way back to when her mother vanished and she was presumably left alone.
Melissa has fully accepted her Dark Heart existence, where are they off to? More deals in other towns?
Will Emma pursue the Visitor and Melissa right after this scene ends?
Is Willis' Fender Super-Sonic 22 amp head just for show or does he like to bust out his guitar on those lonely nights?Â
....More questions to come!
Thank you so much for going down the rabbit hole with me as I try to make sense of the mysteries of Haunting Melissa. This is the last chapter based entry but it is not the last post. There is so much more to dig through as well as new information that may come to light on the podcast "A Dark Companion" Â ADarkCompanion.comÂ
If you find anything you'd like to share or maybe a theory you've put together please feel free to use the submission link at the top of this page or email [email protected] and I will feature your findings!

Episode 1: @bryankaplan from twitter returns to discuss Chapter 15 and, if you're lucky, Chapter 16 as well.Â
Episode 2: Rohan Campbell the very talented actor who plays the part of Farley Mason had decided to swing by and tell us all about his first hand experience with Haunting Melissa!
***Spoiler Alert*** This episode features content relating to chapters that have not been covered on this Podcast. If you haven't watched the whole film yet I'd strongly recommend you do for the sake of your own fun! Another very special episode of A Dark Companion where your host, Ziro, gets to have a conversation with Tom Carey (your neighborhood Fedora Man)! We discuss Haunting Melissa and Dark Hearts from set to iPad and every where in between. If you listen closely you can hear Ziro trying not to FanBoy out...tried and failed!
