Judging by the previews, paranormal comedy Over Her Dead Body looked like a riot of a movie. I especially liked the scene where the ex-fiance is hovering over her would-be husband and his new girlfriend, who are about to make love. Then I began to read the reviews and viewer comments. Movie Pulse sums this movie up as a watered-down version of Reese Witherspoon’s Just Like Heaven. Metacritic gave the move a 3.6 out of 10. Viewers either loved the movie or hated it.
If you haven’t seen Over Her Dead Body yet, I’d wait until it becomes available on Netflix.
If you missed the last three episodes of The Medium’s third season, you can now watch them at NBC Video Rewind. Thanks to the NBC scheduling debacle last year, I missed the entire season, except for the premiere episode, where Bridgette experiences psychic dreams. The season ends on an equally powerful note when a savage serial killer and an unscrupulous wannabe reporter turn the city of Phoenix upside down.
Angelica Huston stars in the premiere episode of Season 4, which airs January 7, 2008. Watch the exclusive video to see what this episode promises to bring.
Melba Goodwyn, an experienced parapsychologist and member of the Texarkana Paranormal Investigators shares her thoughts on ghosts and why we search for them in an interview with About.com. I found myself skimming through a good portion of this interview because I wasn’t reading anything that I felt was new. Towards the end of the interview, she caught my interest with her answer for why people search for ghosts. I’ve been reading about how people have embraced the supernatural and adopting new age beliefs because their religion couldn’t satisfy their questions about the afterlife. Her answer did not surprise me.
Goodwyn’s book, Ghost Worlds: A Guide to Poltergeists, Portals, Ecto-Mist, & Spirit Behavior, is due to be released tomorrow. Judging by the synopsis, people who are new to ghosts and the supernatural realm will benefit from reading this book.
Celebrity psychic Derek Acorah will star on Living TV’s Paranormal Egypt, which is scheduled to air on September 4th. According to The Sun Online, Derek had a harrowing experience in the bowels of one of the Great Pyramid that nearly cost him his life.
“It took me completely by surprise, and it wasn’t a pleasant one,” Derek said.
“We were filming in the main chamber of the Great Pyramid and I could tell there was a lot of spiritual activity going on.
“Forget Most Haunted, this was a stronger force than anything I’d ever encountered before.
“I heard something approaching and then ‘bang’, it hit me hard in the face and I started choking because I couldn’t draw a breath.
“There was a paranormal substance or powder that went across my mouth and into my nostrils, basically suffocating me.
“Thankfully the symptoms subsided but then I felt really sick and had to rest until the nausea passed.
“I’ve no idea what the entity was, but it’s obvious something didn’t want me there in the Great Pyramid.â€
Fans of Living TV will get to watch this scene in its entirety. Another segment of the show involves Acorah establishing that the Curse of the Pharaohs was a myth. While I forget the names of the scientists who debunked the curse as a myth (years ago), I remember them explaining how the Egyptians would bring fruit into the tombs as part of the burial ceremony. The fruit had rotted, sending spores and bacteria into the air for those archaeologists to breathe. It will be interesting to see what Acorah has to say.
