The most underrated paranormal-themed movies and TV shows
Most underrated paranormal-themed movies and TV shows
Fido (2006)
Timmy Robinson's best friend
in the whole wide world is a six-foot tall rotting zombie named Fido, played hilariously
and touchingly (and convincingly) by Billy Connolly.
Uforia (1985)
When Arlene, a deeply
religious local supermarket clerk who believes in UFOs, has a vision of a
coming alien visitation, everyone deals with it in their own way, including her
scam artist boyfriend.
Wolfen (1981)
Horror writer Whitley Strieber’s
story about a New York cop who investigates a series of brutal deaths that
resemble animal attacks.
Communion (1989)
The same Whitley Strieber
goes with his family and some friends to his holiday home in the forest in this
autobiography. Are their weird experiences UFO activity, or is he going insane?
Fire in the Sky (1993)
Based on the experiences of an
Arizona logger who mysteriously disappeared for five days after a UFO encounter
in 1975. The character development is fascinating, although the ending of the film
is nowhere near as weird as the “true” account.
Randall and Hopkirk
(Deceased) (The original British series, 1969-1971)
Jeff Randall and Marty
Hopkirk are a private detective team. When Marty is killed by a hit-and-run
driver, he comes back―as a ghost―to help solve his own murder and other
mysteries. Understated, but very entertaining.
Early Edition (1996-2000)
Gary Hobson gets tomorrow's
newspaper today. He doesn't know how. He doesn't know why. But when the early
edition hits his doorstep, he has twenty-four hours to prevent disaster.
The Chronicle (2001-2002)
Along the same theme, a
young, talented reporter can't find work with a major paper so he signs on with
a tabloid. There he learns that all the tabloid stories are true, including
aliens, big foot and reincarnation.
The Munsters (1964-1966)
A family of friendly monsters
don’t understand why people react to them so strangely. Yes, it’s cornball, but
it’s delightfully silly and a lot of fun.
Kolchak: The Night Stalker
(1974-1975)
The inspiration for both Chronicle and Early Edition, at least in terms of the profession of journalism. Newspaper
reporter Darren McGavin investigates strange supernatural occurrences in
Chicago. Easily the best paranormal series of its kind, and the forerunner of
later shows like X-Files, Fringe,
etc.
