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.....

I give this a 6 out of 10 only because they advertise the show as being a true story. After watching a few of the episodes and going online to find news of the events, I could not find the story anywhere. I love paranormal and ghost shows and I also enjoy shows on ID of murders and crimes. I can always cross-reference to the real events that took place. Have not been able to find a single one for My Haunted House. If anyone has found any for any of the so called real stories please point them out to me. In any case, the stories in this show are pretty good and if it weren't for the false advertisement of the stories being true I'd give it a 10 rating.

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.

Now I know it. They just did a story on my hometown that involved a serial killer. No such serial killer existed anywhere in the U.S. let alone in my hometown. The serial killer was made up, his nickname was made up, his method of killing and m.o. were made up - I searched on everything they said on My Haunted House - and the entire story seems to be made up. Not even one iota of the story was true. Done watching this stuff. Like someone else commented, I like other ghost/paranormal stories that use real people instead of paid actors - and true stories. It's not like there aren't enough of them to go around. I studied acting, and did my fair share back in the day, and I can tell when someone is acting...especially if they aren't that good.

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.
