Ghost Adventures: Hardcore Paranormal
When I started this dumb blog I figured there’d be tons of stuff to write about. So much of the programming on TV is horrible, you’d assume there’d be an endless supply of material, right? Oh not so, my bro… I’ve found that 90 percent of the stuff that sucks just plain sucks. There’s not much more you can say about it other than, “It sucks.” It’s rare that something on television achieves a level of suction that’s inspiring.
Ghost Adventures however, is one of those rare somethings. It’s so appallingly bad, I find it hard to believe it’s not satire. This documentary takes the premise of ghost hunting and pushes it to its extremes. Unlike the prissy Ghost Hunters who get bogged down in the stupid Scientific Method, Ghost Adventures gets down and dirty and actually shows you ghosts and hardcore paranormal action on film. If Ghost Hunters is Victoria’s Fantasies on Cinemax at 12PM Friday night, Ghost Adventures is that triple-X DVD you bought at Amazing.net with the words “Scat”, “Dwarves” and “Part 37″ in the title.
Their camera captures objects flying through the air, spectral figures passing through rooms, and the crew shrieking like little girls and fleeing for dear life. Completely impartial video authority Slim Whitman confirms that these clips are for real and not staged or digitally manufactured too.
Hopefully Ghost Adventures will become a full-fledged series and we’ll get to see possessions, succubi, and the Devil himself caught on film some day. These guys definitely one-upped the Ghost Hunters gang. I’m not sure what that means exactly, but I’ll be glued to the set for more if they get their own weekly program.
