Famosos e Fantasmas

This show is awesome. Im big into horror and always have been. Theres something about this show that scares me more than a lot of actual horror movies/other shows. The way they make the atmosphere in every story thats told is extremely creepy. It has me looking behind my back at night A LOT. I think about and watch this show often and will always love it.

This reality TV show consists of Hollywood celebrities tell supposedly true stories of their paranormal experiences and run-ins with ghosts, through their interviews and reenactments by the show's actors. While many of the stories were creepy and thrilling, some even downright bone-chilling like Scott Patterson's story about him and his friend running into a devil-like creature in a haunted prison, I believe a good number of the stories were embellished or exaggerated.

Even as a believer of ghosts myself, I think some of the celebrities' stories were just too incredible to be authentic. But, it's still quite an entertaining show and it does give all that vibe of suspense and chills that will at times make the hair stand on the back of your neck.

Grade B-

These stories are just the right 'weight' to me. Some spooky aspects, but almost always, a lot of time has passed since these people experienced their events, and they're pretty circumspect by now and have neat conclusions about what was the purpose or conclusions to draw.

Most of these people are used to conveying drama, so at first you might think, Oh, so they're putting on. In most cases - not really! I find them fascinating, and love watching these reruns. Was happy to see that a few of the other reviews are written 10+ years after the show was produced, like mine is. Really recommended. Additional kudos to the people who did the visuals that illustrate the stories. I'd love to talk to some of the folks who worked on this show. Thanks!

My problem with all these ghost storie shows. As the noise. It's obnoxious, they try to make them far more intense than they are, and it doesn't work. If the story isn't chilling enough with out background noise, it is not scary at all. This one is the worse with the background noise, it comes off like it's in the foreground you can barely hear the stories at all.

I for one have always liked scary tales, and classic moments that people remember of ghosts. And this little series "Celebrity Ghost Stories" is just fine as it interviews the well known as they tell about their haunting moments of the past! The stories are told thru react type footage and some of them are scary and others have crazy historical and regional backgrounds tied to the tales. And many many famous people have been haunted you have everyone from Dee Wallace Stone, Phyliss Diller, Adrienne Barbeau and the likes of Roddy Pipper, Harry Hamlin and Louis Gossett Jr. and even Regis Philbin. Wow it's always interesting to hear these stories it's one neat little series.
