Homes of Horror

Always love shows with ghost tales. Are you afraid of the dark, goosebumps, a haunting, creepshow, the twilight zone. Everyone complaining about it being fake. Go ask a skeptic and they will tell you its all fake. No matter what show. Its entertainment. They said ghost hunters was fake also. So take from that what you will. The power lies in the imagination. They said Blair witch project was real also, if anyone remembers that when it first came out. P. S. The headless horseman isn't real either but I love that tale. Maybe they are actors but the names and places where changed to hide the identities. Just maybe.....

At first glance, this program appears to be similar to My Ghost Story and Paranormal Witness (two programs I quite enjoy). However, after watching a few episodes of My Haunted House, it dawned on me that the "eyewitnesses" are paid actors (and not very good ones, at that) telling a story which is 100% scripted.

Obviously, the re-enactments would use actors, just like other shows in this genre. However, I strongly suspect that the "eyewitness accounts" have all been dreamed up by scriptwriters. The "eyewitnesses" telling the stories are mostly very unconvincing. The acting is so wooden, I'm surprised I didn't realise it was fake much sooner than I did.

Realising that the program is fake simply sucked all of the enjoyment out of it for me.

A clue to the show being completely fake is given during the credit sequences. At the start of the program it states "The following two stories are inspired by documented paranormal encounters". Reading between the lines, "inspired by" translates to "completely made up".

I believe it should be openly disclosed that this program features works of fiction rather than "eyewitness accounts" of paranormal encounters.

The people who tell the story are actors and the locations are also made up and events changed in order to protect the identity of the people it happened to. Now I don't believe in ghosts in the first place, so I would say it's all made up, however I felt it necessary to explain the shows premise as so many of you do not seem to understand. This show is as authentic as any of the others out there once you understand the premise. Which once again....is that actors are hired to play the people telling the story in order to protect that persons identity. Wow. ( and also the reanactments are by actors too, just so we are clear) I like these kinds of shows, it's like getting to watch little horror shorts. Fun show, great story telling. Enjoy!

I don't care if the shows are real or fake. They are great stories and grip you from the beginning. My complaint is that you constantly advertise "All New Shows" and they are reruns. Week after week of disappointments. Since you have had such incredible success with the acting and directing, what is the problem? Have you run out of stories? I'd send you mine, but it only lasted for less than 5 seconds and never replayed. If it is creative writing, you should be good to go. There are thousands of writers who would love to see their work on the screen. And new writers who would contribute for no more than screen credits.

first of all, i want to add another genre to this series, it's horror and documentary. because, people are telling their stories, this is the most horror part of the series, overall, it's a nice series, worth a watch. second, the videoing is very nice, the effects plays an important role in horror making, the directing is great and acting is very fantastic. finally, I gave it 8/10 just because first, it's a documentary series, although, actually, it made me love the documentaries, second, because the sense that "you know that the house is haunted, why didn't you leave", the first scenario, which is "The Nursery" was because her husband was refusing to move and she was hiding the truth on him, but in the second scenario, which is "The Closet" there was no reason for not leaving the house, feels like they knew that they were acting, third, i don't know if the next episodes will be such like the first episode or they are going to change their overall style and criteria, fourth, i didn't like the double scenarios in the same episode, this might be only for the first episode, but it's going to be better if each episode get a single scenario.
