Synopsis

Zak Bagans is fulfilling a lifelong dream of opening a museum in downtown Las Vegas, full of the haunted, cursed objects he has been collecting through the years. Each episode features haunted, iconic items and their owners. They share stories of how these objects have terrorized them and, in some cases, even killed people. Bagans interviews the owners and works with them to get to the root of their “attachment,” so they can free themselves…or at least escape harm from these “deadly possessions.”

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
cirella I get there is a craze with the Anabelle franchise as well as ghost hunting shows, so it's not a surprise someone would have thought to create a show about discussing possessed or haunted items. This haunted object premise COULD be cool if proof of the object's history was shown and discussed. Not hard, they did it all the time on Ghost Adventures.Next, the butler named Theodore who brings Zak his mail. The segment really had nothing to do with the haunted object but rather a way for Zak to introduce the fact he now has a butler. The set...and this is definitely a set has 4 rooms? Why does he need a butler? The feel of the show is just OVERLY dramatic and the ego-mania is stifling. If Zak and his crew wanted to explore haunted and cursed antiquities that have apparently killed people, I don't think it's wise to have guests of the show drag the object out into public where it can be in contact with unsuspecting people. It's kind of a reckless thing to do if one TRULY believes these objects are possessed. This is the neglected detail that sinks the show's credibility for me. I'm no expert but I would imagine that an experienced ghost hunter would want to retrieve and transport the object themselves knowing how dangerous it can be to unsuspecting people. If the host got off his throne and retrieved these demonic items from their place of origin it would inspire actual ghostly events to occur as well as lend itself to better storytelling. Ghost Adventures was such a hit because of its casts honest chemistry and the playful rhythm that made it authentic and relatable even if you didn't believe in ghosts. They joked, they screamed and most importantly they had fun and that's why it was so fun to watch. In conclusion, no I'm would not watch another hour of Zak desperately trying to get people to take him as seriously as he does himself which is the only creepy element of the show.
Man99204 Remember when the Travel Channel was taken seriously? Remember when the network took pride in what it broadcast? Remember the beautiful andinspiring programs?This is not one of those.As unintentional COMEDY this program is brilliant! At first I thought Iwas watching a delightful parody of every off the wall "reality show" ever produced. I was especially taken with Zak Bagans' take on the smarmy snake oil salesman who gets his guests to say and do incredibly stupid things - just for their moment on national TV. Then, sadly, I realized that this was "serious"... well as serious any any program of this type could be.I cannot believe people actually can sit through this stuff. Not only is it total HOKUM, it is mind numbingly boring. Nothing significant actually happens. Nothing exciting actually happens. Nothing scary actually happens. They just breathlessly recount rumors and legends and unimportant stuff.The Host, if you can call him that, is a colorful character called Zak Bagans. Never heard of this "expert"? Well, he was in a Lumber Liquidators commercial. And he is planning on putting in a museum in downtown Las Vegas... "full of the haunted and cursed objects he has been collecting through the years".If you want to watch Trailer Trash spin colorful stories, watch Jerry Springer reruns instead. The production values on that show are much higher, and they throw pies.
Erik Andersson I'm a great fan of Zak & Aaron for there contributions and investigations in to the paranormal, until now they lived up to there standards. After little research myself found one to many question marks that they should have caught researched before interviewing some of these people, now they are being mislead and duked. All though its chilling and entertaining, a great watch. But can lead to false myths and false information to fester in the field. As anything look at it with very objectively and open minded, do not take it as fact. I'm a layman in the field, spired to work with it myself someday, to find my own answers just as these guys started. I support there efforts, but just be careful going down this rabbit hole guys.

maskesarah I had high hopes for this show. I have always been a huge fan of Ghost Adventures and was happy to hear of a new series during GA's "off- season" to tide me over until a new season starts. I was immediately turned-off by the fact that Zak has to sit like a king on a throne while the guests bring "object" into his "ballroom." We all know he is an ego-maniac, but come ON, now. The guests stand until he asks them to have a seat. After giving a sketchy history of the item's past (with frequent interruptions by Zak) the "investigation" (for lack of a better term) begins. We see a shot of Zak's self-portrait hanging on the wall. Yes, it is an actual painting of himself. The "investigation" includes someone who has been affected personally by the object. I feel these particular guests had to attend an acting class to be included. This was so over-the-top and unnecessary! And he even has an elderly butler named Theodore who mills around to do Zak's bidding. At one point, Theodore walks up to Zak's throne to deliver his mail, turns around and lets out a scream of feigned terror when he sees the haunted doll. It was so bad. So bad. It is painfully obvious that this was Zak's brain-child and that he has full creative-control over the entire process. I was cringing the whole way through. If you want a laugh, then this show is for you. If you were hoping for an entertaining paranormal show, this won't satisfy.
