Any thoughts about Haunted?
After missing the premiere of John Doe--and since my TiVo will be busy with Smallville--I'm going to tape this one... I hear it's a bit gloomy and dark, which is intriguing, and references to Brimstone and Sixth Sense have popped up in a few places...
Anyone have any pre-show buzz to offer? Or if you saw it, what did you think? Any comparisons or thoughts to share?

I just finished watching it and I really liked it. Before I forget Smallville repeats on Sunday at 5:00 which helps with at least one conflict for me. The show creeped me out in a couple places and it is a definite keeper for me.

Yeah, I saw that the Smallville repeats look like they're a fixture... at least for now... That means I can TiVo both shows, assuming I like what I see on Haunted...

And that the talky janitor was involved?
And that he is still in love with is wife?

Yeah I saw Haunted. I really thought it was putrid
I just seem like every supernatural cliche in the book was thrown at you. When the dead guy's on the table's eyes opened I wasn't even scared. "OOOOOH what a surprise"
The only way that UPN will not cancels this piece of :censored: is if they don't want to admit they might have made a mistake by canning Roswell.
Expect the axe to fall on this one pretty soon.

I finally got to see this, as due to a local change in UPN affiliate, "Haunted" airs here at 11:30 p.m. on Saturdays. I rather liked the atmosphere of the show. However, that one scene from the premiere where he leaves his body and sees the dead walking around the hospital is EXACTLY the same as a movie I've seen, though I can't remember which one.
