Loved it! Want more, more,
More.... Robert is the best host for this show. History is creepy and well played on showed. Definitely watch!
I'm sorry fans of this actor, I'm sure he's otherwise lovely but his way of delivering his lines here, his voice and the rest of this show puts me to sleep! There's only been 1 episode that I found interesting, so I tried to watch more, but the fact that it's divided into 3 stories doesn't even help to pick up the pace: stories are slow-paced, some of the actors are over the top but I think the most boring thing here is that it takes place in the old west; we're talking 1800s and I have zero affinities for that history! ZZZzzz you can be sure I never had any past lives over there LOL
in conclusion I'm glad it was canceled.

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.
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.

This is a continuation of True Terror with George Takei but now hosted by Robert Englund therefor getting its own "series" page for anyone confused. These shows play like Unsolved Mysteries another great series where its a documentary / reenactment. A fun watch if you are into that sort of thing.
