My 7 year old loves this show! We crack up every time we watch it. Normally I monitor his viewing habits, but this show is so silly I know he can’t possibly be scared.
The benefit of this show is that my son is growing up to be a more discerning and skeptical viewer of the nonsense we usually see on TV.
I love watching it, it is so full of crap it is the perfect munch popcorn and MST3K at the screen show=)
Anybody remember a similar sort of show where they would stick 5 people in a haunted house and make them do things like some sort of prayer, and have to go to different rooms and such? Also a hoot…
<sidetrack> i would have loved for mrAru, his mother, sister, brother and myself to have gone on that…they had one episode in some scots castle with an oubliette of bones…mrAruSister would have been there putting them into piles and sorting through them as she is trained as a forensic tech and did time on the body farm=). mrArumom is a nurse, and as skeptical/sensible as they come…as is mrAruBro and myself…none of the sniveling crap that everybody else seemed to have going on. We all love looking for the special effects tricks in movies, an instead of being freaked out about drafts of cold air, moving furniture, slamming doors and the like we would be actively looking for what caused them.
Well, it can be entertaining in a take-the-piss-out-of-the-whole-thing late-at-night fashion. For such purposes, it helps that, in the UK at any rate, Yvette Fielding is still best known for presenting the venerable, somewhat ernest, BBC childrens’ programme Blue Peter.
Any afficionado of the show should become aware of this site, which started by documenting dodgy aspects of the programme, but which has since broadened out a bit. Though it still has a thorough section specifically devoted to it
so freaking stupid…I mean the people know they are supposedly going into a purportedly haunted area. :smack: and I know that they have tech crew all over the places inside so I would be pretty damn sure that they had set occurances to happen. I have never been in a building anywhere that didnt have some sort of sound going on - pipes rattling or burbling, settling sounds in the frames, air currents moving doors or fabrics like curtains.
