9 of the Sexiest Reality TV Ghost Hunters Alive

Published

on

Trying to track ghosts on an EMF meter while your face is awash in the green hue of nightvison for reality TV isn’t a flattering look, but someone has to do it.

Whether you’re male or female, and you chose to watch the numerous ghost hunting shows on your TV source, one thing’s for sure: ghosthunting is a sexy job and who else better to keep the living and dead engaged between solid evidence than with those who are easy on our eyes and hearts.

The following selection of people are in no particular order, and we’re sure we missed someone, but it’s a nice starter kit of ghosthunting TV personalities who put the haute in haunted.

Grant Wilson

The OG Grant Wilson (Ghost Hunters) – This original reality ghosthunter has a quiet style. His sex appeal lies in his nerdy nature and devotion to family. The bromance between him and his bestie Jason Hawes is best described as polar opposites.

Hawes always seemed a little more hot-headed when it came to controlling the team, but Wilson always smoothed things over with charming aplomb.

Zak Bagans

Zak Bagans (Ghost Adventures) The pretty boy of Paranormal Activity, and perhaps the most hyperbolic, first came onto the scene of incorporeal connectivity in a 2004 documentary called “Ghost Adventures,” whose namesake was also used in a subsequent reality show for Travel Channel.

The buff, and always bronzed investigator, became the pin-up boy of EMF readings and otherworldly digital recorder captures.

In one episode after an invisible attack, Bagans removed his shirt to expose his well-kept physique through the green hue of an infrared camera.

So successful and recognizable in the world of ghost hunting, Bagans has amassed quite a following of fans and plans to open up a haunted museum in Las Vegas for all the cursed items he has acquired over the past decade.

Nick Groff

Nick Groff (Paranormal Lockdown) – This hirsute spirit chaser ain’t afraid of no ghosts and his just-as-sexy sidekick, Katrina Weidman often has to be the voice of reason when they spend 72 hours confined and alone in their docu-series Paranormal Lockdown.

The hazel-eyed Nick is an alumni of Bagans’ show, but has become a brand of his own, facing down evil spirits in paranormal Pyrrhic victories. He has been known to have malignant spirits follow him home occasionally.

Elizabeth Saint (Ghosts of Shepherdstown) The supermodel of the supernatural, Saint is a woman who may distract the viewer from seeing evidence as it happens. Perhaps that is why the “replay” button is pushed so many times on her show Ghosts of Shepherdstown.

Her beauty is increased by the breadth of her intellect when she visits locals to investigate properties and locations renown for their ghostly remnants.

Saint is also a sensitive who can immediately feel the true nature of a presence when she enters a building.

Adam Berry

Adam Berry (Kindred Spirits) The original out gay ghost hunter has a following of his own. The blonde headed cutie originally won a spot next to Grant and Howe after winning a “Ghost Hunter” casting contest.

More Teen Beat that GQ, Berry addresses a demographic that has been underrepresented in the field of paranormal investigating. He can sometimes become a little spooked during a hunt, but his partner Amy Bruni is always there to reassure his safety.

Amy Bruni

Amy Bruni (Kindred Spirits) Speaking of Bruni, she is also a graduate of “Ghost Hunters” and as mentioned before, is the second half to Adam Berry on Kindred Spirits.

Red-headed and tenacious, Bruni is not afraid to match smarts with the most tenured intellectual incorporeal.

So dedicated to her work, Bruni continued to investigate locations while pregnant. Now that’s pretty sexy.

Juwann

Juwan Mass (Ghost Brothers) – New to the genre, Chicago-born Juwan accompanies his posse, the Ghost Brothers, to locations that less-confident people would otherwise avoid.

He and his “Brothers” co-star Dalen Spratt met at Clark Atlanta University, where they would discuss their interests in paranormal activity.

Ryan Buell (Paranormal State) – Sadly this demon chaser has had some rough times with the law recently, but before all the controversy, Ryan did some pretty in depth investigating.

Intrepid and book smart, Ryan tried to help families whose homes were infested with the unknown, and if he couldn’t figure out what the problem was he opened his contact list to people such as demonologist Lorraine Warren and medium Chip Coffey.

His diary entry after each episode carried not only a synopsis of the case, but new clues to answers he needed to solve a mystery that plagued his own life.

Kris Williams

Kris Williams (Ghost Hunters) – If Elizabeth Saint is the supermodel to the supernatural, then Kris Williams is her runway companion.

Williams is a graduate of Ghost Hunters academy, and appears to be the TED Talks of haunted houses.

She often defends her choice of careers, saying that fans may be wanting instant gratification of evidence where it may take hours or days to gather.

“The biggest problem is our audience has become desensitized,” said Williams in an interview. “They want to see chairs being levitated and being thrown. They want to see people being possessed. It’s impossible. And you have the honest investigators stuck in the middle of this trying to make the show interesting without being a fraud.”

Of course this list could go on and on; Television demands that their stars are easy on the eyes, and reality ghosthunting has no shortage of that among their ranks.

But the people mentioned above are the ones I think have brought sex appeal to their brand, either by their countenance, intellectual repute, or both.

And of course, horror readers, you have your own ideas of what is sexy and if I’ve not listed your favorite here, feel free to add them in the comments below.

Brad Dourif Says He’s Retiring Except For One Important Role

Published

on

Brad Dourif has been doing movies for nearly 50 years. Now it seems he is walking away from the industry at 74 to enjoy his golden years. Except, there is a caveat.

Recently, digital entertainment publication JoBlo’s Tyler Nichols talked to some of the Chucky television series cast members. During the interview, Dourif made an announcement.

“Dourif said that he’s retired from acting,” says Nichols. “The only reason he came back for the show was because of his daughter Fiona and he considers Chucky creator Don Mancini to be family. But for non-Chucky stuff, he considers himself retired.”

Dourif has voiced the possessed doll since 1988 (minus the 2019 reboot). The original movie “Child’s Play” has become such a cult classic it’s at the top of some people’s best chillers of all time. Chucky himself is ingrained in pop culture history much like Frankenstein or Jason Voorhees.

While Dourif may be known for his famous voiceover, he is also an Oscar-nominated actor for his part in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Another famous horror role is The Gemini Killer in William Peter Blatty’s Exorcist III. And who can forget Betazoid Lon Suder in Star Trek: Voyager?

The good news is that Don Mancini is already pitching a concept for season four of Chucky which might also include a feature-length movie with a series tie-in. So, Although Dourif says he is retiring from the industry, ironically he is Chucky’s friend till the end.

7 Great ‘Scream’ Fan Films & Shorts Worth a Watch

Published

on

The Scream franchise is such an iconic series, that many budding filmmakers take inspiration from it and make their own sequels or, at least, build upon the original universe created by screenwriter Kevin Williamson. YouTube is the perfect medium to showcase these talents (and budgets) with fan-made homages with their own personal twists.

The great thing about Ghostface is that he can appear anywhere, in any town, he just needs the signature mask, knife, and unhinged motive. Thanks to Fair Use laws it’s possible to expand upon Wes Craven’s creation by simply getting a group of young adults together and killing them off one by one. Oh, and don’t forget the twist. You’ll notice that Roger Jackson’s famous Ghostface voice is uncanny valley, but you get the gist.

We have gathered five fan films/shorts related to Scream that we thought were pretty good. Although they can’t possibly match the beats of a $33 million blockbuster, they get by on what they have. But who needs money? If you’re talented and motivated anything is possible as proven by these filmmakers who are well on their way to the big leagues.

Take a look at the below films and let us know what you think. And while you’re at it, leave these young filmmakers a thumbs up, or leave them a comment to encourage them to create more films. Besides, where else are you going to see Ghostface vs. a Katana all set to a hip-hop soundtrack?

Another Creepy Spider Movie Hits Shudder This Month

Published

on

Good spider films are a theme this year. First, we had Sting and then there was Infested. The former is still in theaters and the latter is coming to Shudder starting April 26.

Infested has been getting some good reviews. People are saying that it’s not only a great creature feature but also a social commentary on racism in France.

According to IMDb: Writer/director Sébastien Vanicek was looking for ideas around the discrimination faced by black and Arab-looking people in France, and that led him to spiders, which are rarely welcome in homes; whenever they’re spotted, they’re swatted. As everyone in the story (people and spiders) is treated like vermin by society, the title came to him naturally.

Shudder has become the gold standard for streaming horror content. Since 2016, the service has been offering fans an expansive library of genre movies. in 2017, they began to stream exclusive content.

Since then Shudder has become a powerhouse in the film festival circuit, buying distribution rights to movies, or just producing some of their own. Just like Netflix, they give a film a short theatrical run before adding it to their library exclusively for subscribers.

Late Night With the Devil is a great example. It was released theatrically on March 22 and will begin streaming on the platform starting April 19.

While not getting the same buzz as Late Night, Infested is a festival favorite and many have said if you suffer from arachnophobia, you might want to take heed before watching it.

Infested

According to the synopsis, our main character, Kalib is turning 30 and dealing with some family issues. “He’s fighting with his sister over an inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend. Fascinated by exotic animals, he finds a venomous spider in a shop and brings it back to his apartment. It only takes a moment for the spider to escape and reproduce, turning the whole building into a dreadful web trap. The only option for Kaleb and his friends is to find a way out and survive.”

The film will be available to watch on Shudder starting April 26.
