TLC is creating an entire paranormal-themed night just in time for Halloween. On Oct. 21, the Discovery-owned network will kick off Friday Night Frights, a block of ghost-centric programming.
That includes new series “Kindred Spirits,” starring “Ghost Hunters” alumni Adam Berry and Amy Bruni, and The Wrap has an exclusive clip from the premiere.
“Kindred Spirits,” which will air at 10/9c, sees Berry and Bruni taking their paranormal expertise back on the road, first to a big, old farm in northern Pennsylvania.
In our exclusive clip, Berry and Bruni learn about a kid who walked into a giant spinning blade at a sawmill and confront a possibly possessed teddy bear.
At 8/7c, TLC will offer up a new installment of “Ghosts of Shepherdstown,” checking back on the denizens of one of America’s most haunted towns. Shepherdstown, West Virginia has a population of under 2,000, but everyone seems to have experienced some sort of paranormal activity.
At 9/7c, “A Haunting” returns for new episodes that delve into spooky happenings that wouldn’t seem out of place in the new “Blair Witch” movie.
This entire genre has generally fared well on TV, but with FX’s “American Horror Story” now parodying it with its new season, interest in the original tales is sure to spike.
Watch the exclusive clip of new series “Kindred Spirits” above.
Chris Hemsworth Nerds Out in New 'Ghostbusters' Photos
Chris Hemsworth makes being nerdy look super cool in new photos from the "Ghostbusters" reboot.
Hemsworth will play the receptionist to the paranormal investigators, who will be played by Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones.
The ladies are taking over for Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson, who starred in the original 1984 film. The original team will all have cameos in this film, except for Ramis, who passed away in 2014. Sigourney Weaver, who played Dana in the first two films, will also appear.
The original Ghostbusters' receptionist, Janine, was played by Annie Potts, who will also make an appearance in Sony's July 15 release directed by Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids").
Check out the new photos below.
7 Male Roles Rewritten for Women in 2015, From Sandra Bullock to 'Ghostbusters' (Photos)
Before she was approached for the film, Roberts' role was written for a man whose wife is murdered. In order to land her involvement, director/screenwriter Billy Ray recast the role as a woman who loses her daughter.
Producers pushed to rewrite Blunt's character as a man, but writer Taylor Sheridan believed it would alter the film's central dynamic. Blunt plays an FBI agent dispatched to fight the drug war along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Bullock landed the role of "Calamity" Jane Bodine, a character originally written for George Clooney and based on real-life (male) American political consultants working on the 2002 presidential election in Bolivia.
In the TV reboot of the science fiction film, Hampshire took on Brad Pitt's iconic role of mental patient Jeffrey (now "Jennifer") Goines. The reason for the switch? Writers for the show didn't think they could find a male actor to live up to Pitt's part.
In another role originally meant for Brad Pitt, Theron will play an assassin fighting her way across Europe. The change was made after a three-year halt in the project.
This remake of the 1989 cult classic was developed as a starring vehicle for Rousey. The UFC fighter will take on the role that made Patrick Swayze famous.
In a gender swap that was rumored for years, Sony's gonna call this all-star, all-female team for its "Ghostbusters" reboot due in theaters in 2016. The film marks a rekindling of the comedic chemistry Wiig and McCarthy shared in "Bridesmaids" flanked by "SNL" stars McKinnon and Jones.
