Shadows of History

Cheesy at times, reminds me a lot of 1,000 ways to die!

Honestly, it's rather pathetic. From the posturing host to the hokey stories, I can't find anything positive to say about it.

The first series, one year previous, wasn't that good either. You'd think they would have learned from the reviews it garnered, but I guess not.

Why did the choose Robert Englund to host the show? He's really awful at it, not sure why he continues with the silly posturing.

Each episode is a trilogy of "real" stories supposedly from reputable newspapers from the past, seemingly from late 1800's - early 1900's. Do not come here for serious paranormal investigations. Do come for Robert Englund's narration, the campy acting, & plausible stories. It's a fun series if you're into this kind of thing.

I'm a big fan of this style of shows and this is one of the best series I've seen in ages. Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) is a Great Host for one thing. But, the best thing here is that their 'stories' are more obscure that the ones most shows like this do. I can think of half a dozen similar shows over the past couple years where they all do the same played stories that we've all seen and heard of for years. Not this one. I haven't seen any of these stories on recent tv shows. I remember one of the stories from an old series back in the 1980's-1990's. But that's about it. The others have been new to me. Give it a watch. You won't be disappointed.

Loved it! Want more, more, More.... Robert is the best host for this show. History is creepy and well played on showed. Definitely watch!
