This show could be cool, if they didn't add the over dramatization, and the made up BS of the staff, and people that are running this show? I mean I just watched it for the first time, and these 2 brothers went into a dungeon room in this castle, and the door closed by itself behind them, and would not open. They talked to the "ghosts" and said they are not here to disturb them, and asked if they could be let out, and the door amazingly opened. Omg, and we witnessed all of this. Lucky us! How "incredible". And they looked after the door opened, and the door had no lock on it. Wow. Gimme a break. That's something straight out of a lame Hollywood thriller. I do believe in ghosts and all that, but they don't have to add all this crap. just let people go in, and whatever happens happens. don't make up stupid stuff just to try and keep an audience.

It's too bad the show was canceled. Unintended or not, it was one of the funniest shows on TV. The real hoots came when the participants got "tough" by yelling and threatening the "ghosts." Where did they find these people; cast-offs from the other inane "reality" shows perhaps. It's an interesting concept though the manufactured scares are as laughable as the occasional false bravado. The show takes full advantage of the confusion between being startled and frightened. At least Linda Blair still looks good. Ah well, at least SciFi kept those buffoons on Ghost Hunters, who on a good day are at least as scared and funny, especially that guy who has a phobia list longer than Tony Shaloub's 'Monk' character, though he's not afraid of "ghosts." Too funny.

New title folks: "Most Pathetic Places on Earth". Seldom have I been this bored and found a show so tiring and tedious. The episode I saw had a family of 5 spending the night in Dracula's Castle [clearly a back lot set]: if the vampire has to live forever putting up with this crap I have real pity for him. Nobody with an I.Q. higher than 3 would believe this was anything but a very badly acted play which used only 3 sentences throughout, repeated to the point of extreme nausea. The most aggravating part was being forced to continually look up these peoples nostrils. Couldn't they find a different camera angle every now and then? Speaking of cameras, I hated the part where these folks would "find" a new room, and be filmed entering it. Gimme a break. Outside the place looked huge, but when the intrepid voyagers got inside they couldn't seem to get past the same 3 or 4 obviously staged rooms where ghastly crimes were committed in bygone days. Gimme another break. All this to again "find" a gold medallion which appeared to have come off the sale table at Woolworth's on a slow night. At the end the show's host, some cornball Irish actor with the delivery of Boris Karloff on Qualudes, swaggers out and tells the family what grave danger they were in but because they were so brave and mouthed some little pissant Satanic chant that all would be well. Another break, please! I will damn well not watch any more of the 13 Days of Halloween because I suspect this was the high point. By the way, Linda Blair is still the same 2 bit actress she was in The Exorcist.

My mother watches this show every Friday and Saturday. They show you people trapped in haunted houses. It is funny when they start screaming bloody murder. Than it's up to a relative or cop or whoever to save the day. If you think you are brave watch this show. They always scream I think it is like that movie The Blair Witch Project.
