4.0 out of 5 stars
Creepy place, August 19, 2007
This review is from: Ghost Hunters: Live from ''The Shining'' Hotel (DVD)
This is a great episode-if there are such things as hauntings, this is the place.
The first time TAPS visited this hotel crazy stuff happend- glasses of water smashed, closet doors opened & closed while they slept- they actually caught this all on tape. More crazy stuff happend during their 2nd visit, the live episode. There were creepy voices, pianos playing (us viewers could actually hear these things.) There wasn't just the usual "cold spots" that conveniently no-one at home can feel.
This is a cool episode, pretty entertaining. Would recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Good idea, very poor execution, December 26, 2007
This review is from: Ghost Hunters: Live from ''The Shining'' Hotel (DVD)
Before I begin, let me begin my prefacing that I am a huge fan of
the program, and own seasons 1,2 and 3 on DVD. I saw the original
investigation at the Stanley, and me and my wife were really
looking forward to this.
My review overall is 2 stars.
The reason is because this DVD
is sloppy. The investigation was sloppy. The integraton of
a wrestler who anounces at the beginning that he is
"into this kind of stuff" in an unenthusiastic voice sets the
scene. It was a sloppy decision to include him. Almost as sloppy
as the editing.
Jay and Grant stumble on some interesting activity. The girls
team lead by Donna LeCroix is professional and make expositional
remarks so the audience understands what is happening without
it being too 'play school'
The biggest problems are everything else! ..
* Brian and Steve amount to nothing more than a comedy duo
as the presence of Live TV ("I feel like I am being watched") makes
them uncomfortable and continue to talk non-stop and say silly
things, the best being Brian's theory of a woman exploding mid-air
to explain a cold-spot high in the air. I know Jay must have
sighed when he watched this DVD back.
* Dustin who does nothing except pose and walk around like
a primate - quite possibly the only TAPS member who is completely
useless and thinks hot girls sit around to watch the show for him.
* The absence of Andy Andrews - where did he go? Awesome investigator
who could have brought more legitimacy to this poor investigation.
* CR Punk, a wrestler who seems to occasionally disappear from the
investigation, only for the audience to realise he is laying around
on the beds of each room. He was bored out of his brains and wasn't
anywhere to be seen at the invetigation wrap-up.
Next time the Ghost Hunters team do a DVD from a LIVE show,
they should get a good editor. I honestly have never seen
such sloppy work and I have seen a lot of amatuer films, believe me.
Don't waste your money on this DVD. Not recommended.
