(2000) | — | Haunted is the second album by American singer/songwriter Poe, released in 2000 (see 2000 in music). 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, "Walk the Walk," 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 its poor sales contributed to Poe losing her contract with Atlantic Records. The album also featured samples of audio recordings made by Poe's late father, legendary Hollywood producer Tad Danielewski. The cassettes were found by Poe and Mark after their father had passed and were literally audio-letters to the two of them that spanned back as far as their birth. Thus the album's complexity: a real woman (Poe) sings tributes to her deceased father (who sings back) while telling the story of a group of fictional characters (from House of Leaves).
