If Ghost Hunters did cocaine...


...this is what it might look like.

Holy craaaaap, these guys are wild. I caught this last episode "Goatman's Bridge" tonight, but otherwise I've only seen a couple episodes, and that was years ago.

I always thought these guys were trying to fill the void left by Paranormal State (that whole audience that likes ghost hunting, but also loves the demonic/satanic angle), but whooooah... Apparently, they've really embraced that little niche and today they're going full balls-out, no shame.

I was mostly kidding about the cocaine thing, although I do get that vibe from that one guy with the goatee. If he's not using, I'd be really surprised.

I'll have to look up some recent episodes on Netflix or somewhere, because if every episode is THAT redonkulous now, I could see this show being fun to watch. Like, somebody's gettin' possessed every episode, and they got these "occult specialists" casting magic missiles of holiness and mopping up demons left and right... Satanic rituals, summoning demons just to banish their asses, lol... Sign me up!

Best meme I've ever seen:

Douche Bagans: "State Your Name Demon"!!!!

"It's Jake, From State Farm".....

They'd probably be less afraid. "TAPS" (Terribly Afraid Plumbers Shaking), right? The fat chrome-dome without a SOH...? They should at least take a "medicinal" tablespoon of brandy befo' they start shaking.

Nick & ( ( ( KATRINA! ) ) ) could use some o' dat too, yo.

reply

Nick and Katrina need a bit more help than brandy! Lol! I had to quit watching that show. I couldn't deal with the UNreality of it. I realize their budget is tight and all, but that "equipment"?! It has me laughing up a storm! I especially love that thing that looks like a space heater with tinsel and wire wrapped around it! It has a purple crystal wedged on top, too. Isn't that the thing that supposedly records voice wavelengths or whatever? We hear multiple voices and sounds, but supposedly only ONE voice is the entity's voice? That thing sounds like it's burping half the time. That box is an eye roll. Then there's a piece of "equipment" that my husband says looks like a toaster. I don't even know what it does. Ha, ha!

And the "entites" and "evidence" they find? Hoo boy! I especally loved the faked swinging noose. Hahaha! How about the strange human/worm-like "entity" that crawled across a background hallway? I forgot what episode it was, but I think it was their first ep ever. The cameraguy guy was purposely filming IT, rather than Nick and Kat. The two of them KEPT ACTING, saying, 'What? What do you see?", while moving out of camera focus, but oddly, not looking to see what he saw. Then Kat watched it on film and over-dramatically said, "What the f--k is that?" Analysis of the vid by techies and camera experts revealed that the "entitiy" was a human dressed in some shrouded thing and the human was cued to crawl when the cameraman pulled back and changed focus and angle on his camera. It was a farce. By the way, Katrina's bios all list her as an ACTRESS. My other fave they did was the puff of smoke that came from behind a hallway on the left. I think it was at one of the abandoned TB hospitals. They both acted like an entity flew by and kicked up floor dust. It was obvious that a crewmember was sitting behind the wall out of view, and blew smoke out from behind the wall. Ugh.

I feel badly for Nick because he's trying desperately to have success, but it seems like he's failing. I lost respect for him, too, when I learned he had been secretly working on producing another paranormal show (Wasn't it "Gost Stalkers"?) while he was still working on GA. That was a breech of his contract with GA, but he did it anyway. That cheesy show wasn't worth losing his gig on GA. Zak and Aaron were especially pissed at Nick for that. I guess they felt betrayed and I understand that. Now Nick has lost two good friends because he was greedy and wanted the power to produce his own show. I can see how working with Zak could be overwhelming. Nick could have left under pleasant and legal terms, however. The show "Ghost Stalkers" had only 6 episodes, I think. It was unpopular and it may have been cancelled. It's like he's trying to do too much at once with a bunch of shows, albums (?), and now a clothing line. When you have too many irons in your fires, you can't perfect any one of them!

Hi, friend. Or, should I say, "leading lady"...?!

Whoa, don't wanna see YOU doing lines of medicinal nose candy! Heheheeee.

I have to watch this show because it's so damned scary BAD! Between ( ( KATRINA! ) )'s pizz-poor improve lies, Nick's melodramatic emoting ("MY FEETS! IT TOUCHED MY FEETS!"; "That was the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life..." Charmed life, I guess. ;) And "The Incredibly Long Neck", which deserves it's own show-credit. Do you think every time he tells a lie, his neck grows, instead of his noooose? And every time KATRINA! "Are You Ok?" Weidman tells a lie her ahss grows...?! HeeeHee.

I'll tell you why The Boys broke up. I don't have to know anything other than he's (Nick) married. Zak's got that other paranormal gig where he films amateurs experiencing ghost haunts, and they "American Idol" it, or what ever.

MRS. NICK GROFF: Well, why aren't YOU doing that, too? You're just as good as Zak...", blah, blah, nag, nag, etc.

"The Yoko Factor", to you Beatles fans. Unless the contract was written in blood, I just think Zak was pizzed because he either wasn't axed by Nick if it was okay, or he told Nick not to do it, and he still did. $Cha-ching$ Between the big money, and "Yoko", I can understand why he'd want to produce that other show. Do you remember that scumbag show, Fear Factor...? People will do ANYTHING for a little money. Like "for every cockroach you eat, I'll give you $20", to murdering people for a few dollars, yo. He's greedy. So's his wife ("You have children, Nicky. You gotta think of them, too."). But, I understand it. My problem with him is the quality of his schit acting. He's forgotten everything Zak taught him.

But, WE won't forget, will we, my new co-star? And you can make all the "funny faces", and talk all the "potty mouth" you want! Because I sure will be!

Her bio will also list her as a cast member of Paranormal State, which was caught faking paranormal activity.

I thought that whole show was fake. It seemed very scripted.

reply

It was, especially when Chip Coffey was involved.

reply

This is Chip Coffey's script for every relative of some poor sucker he's "reading":

"I see an older lady. Mother-like. Stern. Tough. But, I like her..."

Of course you do, Chip. EYE-ROLL

reply

ZAK: "Oh my god! Did you just feel that!? That felt demonic!"

AARON: "Duuuudddeee, I'm gettin the chills!!!!"

NICK: "Yeah, it's kinda cold in here..." (in monotone voice)
