First Televised Exorcism

We have been watching old Paranormal Witness episodes and one delt with a pretty chilling tale which resulted in the first televised exorcism (1971).  I had never heard of this haunting before so the second the episode was over, we searched to see if we could find the footage.  Thankfully it was on YouTube.


The news segment below states that the haunting ended after the exorcism.  According to the couple involved, this was not the case.  The paranormal events escalated, and they ultimately moved out of their home.

Channel Zero: Candle Cove

Anyone else watching this on Syfy?
It's really good.  Like listening to a slow-burn ghost story.

SyFy's 31 Days Of Halloween

I just love the sound of "31 Days of Halloween."

Of interest in the lineup is:
“Paranormal Witness” Halloween Episode (Wednesday, October 28, at 10PM) — The true story of a Rhode Island family’s terrifying battle with the spirit of a murderous witch in their home will be explored in this special episode of the series. Titled “The Real Conjuring,” the episode details the frightening basis for the hit 2013 movie The Conjuring, which will also air on Syfy Saturday, October 31, at 9PM.

Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge

A Face Off-like series on SyFy with a Henson spin to it.  Premieres on March 25th.
Been loving Face Off this season, so I hope this is more of the same.  And it has a Halloween prop feel to it.

Face Off

I'm very late to this party and I blame other "reality" shows for tainting my perception.  And I blame SyFy's other effects show Monster Man for chasing me off completely.

We caught a Face Off marathon a while back and I was really surprised to find a show that was nothing about back-stabbing and horrible human values.  It's just a bunch of talented makeup artists working on a weekly design challenge which gets presented to a panel of judges.  No forced drama.  No fake scripting.  And a lot of neat makeup effects. 

The artists even help each other out along the way, lending a creative hand where they can, so it's kinda sad when someone loses the weekly challenge.  Though it always seems to be a legitimate, talent-based elimination.
