Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Ken Marino credits his pal Adam Scott for making the unlikely and unexpected “Party Down” revival a reality. “Adam helped guide this and make this happen in a real way,” he tells Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast. “I think everybody in that cast recognized how special it was, and to just kind of go back and to get to do some more, to be with these people again, creatively, it’s a real gift.” The first two seasons of “Party Down” aired on Starz in 2009 and 2010; the revival takes place a decade after the show’s last episode and features the returns of Marino as Ron, the slightly clueless catering manager who now owns the business — well, running it out of his van — and Scott as Henry, the sardonic failed actor who’s now a teacher and working on the side with Party Down to help pay for his alimony.
The creepy Scottish 'miniature coffins' discovered almost 200 years ago

If you are at all familiar with Edinburgh, you will know that it is famous for its supernatural tales and legends.
From its dark history as a site where hundreds of innocent people were executed after being accused of witchcraft, to the many ghosts that are said to haunt its historic closes, there is seemingly no end to the sinister goings on that have taken place in the city over the centuries.
One of the lesser known — and creepiest — of these was the discovery of a strange cache of miniature coffins on the slopes of Arthur's Seat by a group of boys in 1836. For almost 200 years, the origin and purpose of the 17 strange figures have remained a mystery.
The spooky abandoned Scottish seminary that has been empty for over 30 years
According to the National Museum of Scotland website, when the boys discovered the tiny coffins in a recess in a rock, they were arranged under slates in three tiers: two tiers of eight and one solitary coffin on the top.
Each of the 95 millimetre-long coffins contained a small wooden figure that was carved and dressed in custom-made clothes, which had been stitched and glued around them.
At the time, there were many rumours and theories about the dolls. These ranged from satanic rituals to ancient customs, while others believed they were left as a tribute to sailors who were lost at sea.
One of the more popular and supported theories involves the infamous Burke and Hare murders in Edinburgh. Over a period of 10 months in 1828, the two murdered at least 16 victims and sold their bodies to anatomist Robert Knox for use in his anatomy school in Surgeons Square.
The pair were eventually caught, with Hare betraying his partner in exchange for immunity, leading to Burke being hanged. His corpse was
