The great thing about horror is that it
can encompass many different things. To some it is blood and guts
and grue, to others it is lust and danger and to some it is very tame
and just kind of spooky. What I am going to talk about next falls
into that latter category.
THE GHOST WHISPERER has aired on CBS
for the last few years. It is actually in its third season as we
speak. A hit series if you will and guess what? It's a genre show.
I know you hardcore guys and gals out
there are thinkingwhat the hell? Just calm the hell down. It
ain't all about splatter and axes and we here at House of Horrors
want to embrace all fans of the genre so if this one don't interest
you, go read something else.
For those of you that are still reading
we're going to talk about THE GHOST WHISPERER, The Complete Second
Season. I watch this show on a weekly basis. Actually my wife and I
watch it together. There aren't a lot of shows a horror fan and
their non horror fan spouse can share but this is one and we enjoy
our time spent perched in front of the TV on Friday nights watching
ourselves some soft core horror.
If you have never experienced THE GHOST
WHISPERER let me bring you up to speed. Kind of think of a Little
House On The Prairie type formula only set in modern day in a city
with a lady who can talk to dead people. There is that so hard to
imagine?
Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Melinda and
woman who as a child discovered her ability to communicate with the
dead. She keeps it a secret for the most part with the exception of
her husband with whom she shares her experiences. She owns an
antique shop in a quaint American town and every now and again a dead
person will show up and ask for help.
What follows are 1 hour tales of death,
deception, forgiveness and hope. Yeah, the stories are a little
corny but they are well written and lets face it guys, Jennifer Love
Hewitt is a hottie. This chick is gorgeous and I have no problem
staring at her on the tube for an hour every week. If you haven't
seen her since her I KNOW WHAT YOU DID days do yourself a favor and
tune in. She has grown up well.

horror fans can perhaps share with a spouse or significant other who
may not be into the hard core stuff. It is also a great show to get
your younger children involved with and start grooming that next
generation of horror fans.
