ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Monkeywess This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Mr_Ectoplasma "Scariest Places On Earth" is a fun little spookfest television show that's been running for about five years now, on and off. Each episode features usually one to three segments on some supposedly haunted, extremely creepy locations. In each segment, we are given the grim history of the haunted location, and one family or group of people goes to visit the haunted area at night, and see what they can experience, and if the place is really haunted. Well, scary stuff happens on every episode, so it has me questioning whether or not it could be rigged, but nonetheless, these creepy locations and the disturbing history behind them are good enough to be featured on television. I have to it though, I'm pretty sure a lot of events that occur are staged. Besides that though, this show is pretty scary. I watching this back when it first aired in 2001, and it scared the hell out of me.Hosted by legendary horror actress Linda Blair ("The Exorcist", "Hell Night") and narrated by Zelda Rubenstein (in her creepy, raspy voice), "Scariest Places On Earth" is an all-around fun and scary television show that is worth watching solely for the creepy locations that are displayed and the history behind them. Everything from haunted castles, prisons, old houses, asylums, college campuses, amusement parks, catacombs, and many more creepy locations are featured on the show, and each of the segments are very well done. It's too bad they haven't continued the show on much anymore, I'm glad that ABC Family makes it part of their "13 Nights of Halloween" special, but I wish that it was still a regular show. One thing is for sure though, this show has done a good job at rounding up some genuinely scary places. 8/10.
windbase I normally don't write in, but I worked on Scariest Places, and these people were truely scared out of their wits. The hard part was taping what they were scared of - hence most of the footage is of them just screaming - but a couple of them got so scared they pee'd their pants. Imagination, maybe. But these people were not faking. They saw something, and yes, they were scared.
helpless_dancer 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.
zofa The locations, the cameras, the scares, even the show's tag line involving the word "dare" -- total rip of MTV's Fear. The only original thought this show has is to use a host - Linda Blair. And she's cool.Oh.. and the other thing different from Fear. This show stages stuff. (as they it to in the credits).I guess if your jonzing for Fear and it's not on, this show's not a bad way to waste some time.
