Episode 32: Grave Encounters (2011)
from Haven’t Seen That in Forever Hosted by SAAM LLC
The cameras are rolling, the ghosts are allegedly real, and the exit doors have apparently decided to stop existing. Spooky season continues on Haven’t Seen That in Forever: After Dark as Ben, Nels, and Colin check themselves into the Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital for 2011’s found-footage nightmare, Grave Encounters. What starts as a hilariously fake paranormal investigation quickly becomes an absolute descent into madness when a crew of ghost-hunting television personalities discovers that the abandoned hospital might actually be haunted. And unfortunately for them, the ghosts aren't particularly interested in television ratings. This week, we're digging into the film's low-budget origins, its brilliantly ridiculous take on paranormal reality television, the scares that genuinely work, and why this overlooked horror movie deserves more recognition in the found-footage genre. Is Grave Encounters a hidden horror gem, or are we just three idiots willingly following a camera crew into a building that should've been demolished decades ago? Grab your night vision cameras, question every hallway, and whatever you do, don't trust the guy who says he can communicate with the dead.
