Haunted History [DVD]

Having seen the original haunted history, I had some high expectations, but it was good and scary.

You can really see the roots of shows like the ghost hunters and ancient aliens in this series.However, this set is a useful tool. I am a teacher and I am using the Salem section to reinforce the background in a unique and fun way (just time for Halloween, homecoming and the crucible). It is the right mix of scary and history and my kids are very interested in ghost, witches, and the devil. Also, the video did have a good bit of "history" with names and the Puritan mindset.The graphics are great and it is really interesting. Now, as adult I did have hard time not rolling my eyes at the goofiness of it all (like ancient aliens) because it takes itself too seriously, but it was overall a good experience and I am glad for the set. I am going to watch the other episodes for fun because it is interesting to anyone who loves this kind of thing.Now on the 2 disc you get 8 episodes Ghost of Gettysburg, Salem witch trails, murder castle, lost souls of pennhurst, Katrina Cannibal, a deadly possession, the torso murders, the Manson murders.The price is high but I can see using it again.

It's OK, but no academy award in it's future.

Great look into the past, just love it when we can get a greater understanding on past events.

This is ONE scary set!! full of historical icky messy horrific murders and serial killers I never heard of ! Not like any "Haunted History" shows I have seen before! THIS one I don't watch late at night!!

i bought this for my son. he loves ghost stories, and the haunted history series is very entertaining, and not too scary. we got this episode because we've been to some of the locations. the only reason it doesn't get five stars is the length.

The stories are OK, but the long re-hash of the story after each and every commercial break (from when it was on cable/TV) is very annoying - the story summaries / re-caps after the commercial break cuts should have been edited out for the DVD.

It’s great movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely love it. Right up my alley. Real life stories that are creepy but not over the top. Can still sleep after watching these stories. But leave you with an unsettled feeling. Love this dvd.
