Comments on: Spooktalkular Episode 053 – The Parawards http://www.spooktalkular.com/2010/03/05/spooktalkular-episode-053-the-parawards/ Laura and Frank deliver your weekly paranormal roundup. Laura is a true believer and Frank is more of a skeptic. Together they deliver an interesting contrast discussing TV shows such as Paranormal State, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, Ghost Whisperer, Ghost Adventures, Most Haunted, Haunted History, Fear Itself and many more. From time to time, they even throw in a movie or book review. If it has to deal with the paranormal, chances are, they will be discussing it.

But I really wish you could have an option to vote blank as well. As I had only opinions on the TV and movie categories, but the paranormal reality series, I know nothing about so that's why I didn't vote. However, I wished that Medium would win :( I liked this episode, I forgot to comment.

I do agree that the UK shows were at an disadvantage. Next year we'll break out Non-US shows to make it a little more fair. I really expected Methodic to do much better. Its another one that really needed to be in its own category. This year was a learning experience so next year will be MUCH better. I was rather surprised myself.

I was absolutely flabbergasted to see Paranormal Activity carry off the coveted award for best movie. I accept that one man's meat is another man's poison but it was a hackneyed script with all the gravitas of a work of creative writing essay for secondary school. The performances were phoned in, the narrative (what bit of one there was) was unsatisfying...I could go on lol Such a shame that the British shows didn't get a look in but with such a sizeable number of votes coming from US viewers that makes perfect sense I guess. I just wish I could have been in the chatroom to exclaim my horror at Paranormal Activity winning but next time eh? A superb job done by all and I can't wait till next year and I promise I shall mobilise the British and get them voting as well next time. Superb show, incredibly enjoyable.

It was different with it being on a Friday night. A bit like the last two Sunday night live shows, but they have been a different experience because I was able to join in with the live chat during the live show. Sorry I wasn't able to be there for the Parawards, but it was 1 am over here. I was gobsmacked by what percentage of the vote Methodic and Most Haunted got. It beggars belief why Paranormal Activity got that many votes. Did people buy/fall for the hype machine behind the movie? Who knows. All I can say is Methodic is one of the best horror films of recent years. Most Haunted has a big following, but I'm guessing that the majority of people voting in the Parawards were from the US. I agree that there needs to be a revision of some of the award categories, because the US shows had an unfair advantage. Fix!!! ;)
