So this show...exists. I never got around to watching Haunted, but I was convinced to watch this particular iteration by my housemate. Unfortunately, I didn't love it. There are absolutely some good scenes and moments here, but the overall flow and format of the show just doesn't work for me. Especially since so much effort and money went into recreating these stories, I'd rather just see the recreations of the stories, rather than the flow being broken up by a voiceover or an interview snippet every ten seconds, especially since many of the comments don't contribute a great deal. The actual authenticity of these stories is questionable, which is another reason why I would rather have just watched the recreations. I mean, this isn't a podcast.
