Jason Hawes Clears the Air About the Future of “Ghost Hunters”

Jason Hawes Ghost Hunters Announcment

Jason Hawes recently took to BeyondRealityNews to answer the two questions he’s been asked numerous times since Ghost Hunters stopped airing on Syfy.

  1. What happened?  AND
  2. Is it coming back?

Hawes spent some time explaining the show’s current status, but he also went back in time to tell the story of how the show came to be.  It seems they’d only ever intended to do a season or two, just to show people what they did and how they did it, and they only agreed to doing that after meeting with Craig Paligian, CEO of Pilgrim Productions.

Craig told them he simply wanted to film what they did and air it on television. No interference.  No manipulation.  Just an honest portrayal of paranormal investigating like we’d rarely seen on television at the time.

“That sold it to us,” Hawes explained.  “We would be allowed to ‘Keep it real and stay ourselves!'”

They honestly expected no more than one season when people saw that regardless of how rewarding paranormal investigation was, it could still be very tedious.  To their utter shock, they soon had a huge following with thousands of people showing up for their live appearances and Syfy continued to sweeten the deal to keep the guys going.

Unfortunately, as the years went by, they became more and more exhausted.  Investigation takes a lot of time and energy and they were missing out on watching their kids grow up.  By the eighth season, Grant no longer wanted to be a part of the show.  He needed a break and no one could blame him.  Still, it was a serious blow to the morale of the team.

By season 12, everything was falling apart.  The show’s following was at its highest but Syfy seemed to be completely mishandling its asset.  They were splitting up seasons, airing only a few episodes at a time, and dangling the possibility of more in the faces of the fans.

“The fans found it hard to get any answers on when the show was airing, why the seasons were so short, and when the seasons would start,” Hawes said.  “They would send emails to Syfy asking for answers and never get a response.”

It wasn’t what the T.A.P.S. team wanted for a show with their name on it, and after 12 years, they parted ways with the network, BUT, that doesn’t mean the show is over, Hawes pointed out.

“There have been offers, but we want it to be done right.  We want to keep it real.  To be honest, we want to make it fresh again.”

And so, their search for a new home for the show continues with the promise of information as soon as they can share it.

Published

on

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
