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.”

Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
coolcntrygal I love learning about these objects & their history I feel Zak has approached the show professionally & respectfully. The interviews were great & the objects are unique & authentic. Zak approaches the objects with skepticism & respect & investigating them he lends to their creditably or not. The objects he has covered so far have been intriguing & mysterious & Zak interviews the people with compassion & respect. He offers to assist anyway he can to help those impacted most by these items. His museum will be unique & different housing these oddities there will be no place like it which makes it more compelling to visit I hope it opens soon to the public & I hope to see a second season.
mickkjhc I like Ghost Adventures, even though Nick is gone and Zak has become increasingly given to pontificating and wearing art school clothing (black on black and thick rimmed glasses). That show is still interesting, both in the historical places they visit and the experiences they have. I guess it's not easy coming up with interesting places that are reputed to be haunted on a consistent basis, so they ventured into Aftershocks (which is okay) and Deadly Possessions. This show feels cheap and slapped together, and not authentic, a bit like the Ryan Buell paranormal show with Penn State students. People come in with objects they think are linked with the paranormal, and Zak sits listening, trying to ask overly provocative questions, and even with cuts to dramatic recreations of events, nothing really happens, it's just rather dull storytelling on the whole. If I had watched this show first and had never seen Ghost Adventures, I'd imagine GA must be a boring, hokey show and avoid watching it. It's a poor effort, and fails primarily because it has a premise that is hard to make interesting and believable. I don't know, what does a ghost hunter do in his spare time? Is it possible to make staying at home and talking to average people with objects they think might be bad interesting and worth watching? Not in this case, unfortunately.
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.
realmatureemailaddress Fantastically eerie premiere episode. I'm really digging this paranormal Pawn Stars format. Creepy objects with creepy history in a creepy location. What more could you ask for. I had heard about Robert the doll, but didn't know that it inspired Chucky, which of course was one of the most disturbing horror films for children of the 80's. And the haunted museum looks great. Such a bizarre place. I wonder how all of the objects hold up under close examination. I'm looking forward to next week's episode and I'm looking forward to checking out the museum itself the next time I'm in Vegas. I hear it's located near downtown Vegas, the old part of town, which is also a really bizarre place!
