ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

cativera_usmc I think a good idea for the show the scariest places on earth,would be to have some individuals that have been places and seen some weird stuff.I think that with the publicity of the military that some Marines should be put on the show.The military is supposed to be brave ,well let's let them try and prove it.Some Marines like myself and my friends watching this show.My friends and my self have been to Iraq,i personally think we would do better than the individuals that are on this show.We have recently seen the episode from the castle ,the people just seemed like they were faking a lot of stuff,but maybe not,I would like to find out for myself.

NC-writer After reading other reviews of this, I thought it would be a terrific spine-tingling compilation of scary stories...but rather than producing chills, it produced gales of laughter from me and my husband. The back-stories of all these "haunted" places are very intriguing, and some of the footage is interesting, but the people who do the investigating are obviously hamming it up for the cameras, the special effects are obviously staged, and they try to use lighting to make things look spooky, but with hilarious results--such as having people point flashlights up from their chins, a la Blair Witch. It's so obviously staged that one scene (VERY SLIGHT SPOILER) shows a girl entering a spooky tunnel from the back, and her cap is black. When it shows her from the front, pointing the light up from her chin, her hat is suddenly white. Back and forth it goes, with her hat changing colors. Many scenes of the "investigators" have the camera bobbling around as people scream, and you have absolutely no idea what they're screaming at. Often the narrator says that a person goes into a room all alone, yet there is a camera following them around, so clearly they're not alone. And why is it that all of the "investigators" are students? Because their screaming is louder and shriller than adults? The funniest thing, though, is the voice-overs by Zelda Rubinstein, the delightful little woman from Poltergeist and Picket Fences. Her voice is decidedly spooky alright, but because this video is so funny already, her "narration of impending doom" makes things even more amusing. I'd say that if you're in the market for a good frightening video, you'd be better off renting Thirteen Ghosts--or if you have access to older movies, check out Helter Skelter, In Cold Blood (with Robert Blake), or even Aliens. While "Scariest Places on Earth" is mildly interesting, the main entertainment is in how funny it is--unfortunately it's not the least bit scary.

oboe_maiden Okay I would just like to verify that it is NOT fake! I LIVE in Athens Ohio one of the places featured and it is all real. Every story is real. It may look like it isn't real, but it is. Many people that live in these places can definitely verify that these are real. Maybe in other places it isn't but I know that at least in Athens its all 100% Grade A real! I would recommend this because its really awesome and scary. Well at least it was for me since I live in the town, but anyone can get creeped out by these. My favorite was the scariest the one in the torture chamber in England...that was scary! So I think that if one can get this TV series you should definitely watch it. It really is enjoyable!

Thor2000 In recent years we have lost Unsolved Mysteries, Sightings, Haunted Lives, Paranormal Borderline and several more good shows which discussed true ghost stories. Hosted by Linda Blair and narrated by the creepy voice of Zelda Rubenstein, this show is definitely going to give you nightmares with its shaky angles, out of focus shots and provoking images as it goes in search of ghosts through some of the most haunted houses and edifices on the earth, and takes families to some of the most frightening places in the world to find spirits more unnerving than anything in the movies. Even if you don't believe in such things, this is the show for you.
