Better than most of its kind

[DebraIonaVogel · 7/10 · 11 August 2021]

The episodes in this series use real people with actors doing the reinactments. That's a nice change from most of these kinds of shows where actors play the real people and other actors play the actors.

We get actual people telling us about their experiences with their hometown's spooky tale.

The stories are interesting and intriguing. I hadn't heard of many of the places and their stories. The recreations are done pretty well.

It won't terrify you, but it is perfect for a late night watch with popcorn and someone to snuggle with.

Real people not trying to make a living getting scared by fake ghosts.

I've only seen one and a half episodes of this (the Perryville episode) but thought that it was a lot more credible than most of these ghost shows that have a team of investigators that go from site to site. The team members are usually so childish (seeing and hearing ghosts everywhere when it is just a squirrel in the attic or entities that are never actually caught on camera unless it is a bug or dust on a camera lens.) They plead with the "ghosts" to respond to their questions and taunts but when they think they hear something, they freak out. This episode just had what appeared to be real people just telling of their experiences over a re-enactment. The interviewees seem very authentic unlike the teams who are trying to earn a living by being famous and so will choose drama over truth. The re-enactment part is over-dramatized with jump scares but what do you expect? I will be watching more of these episodes. I liked the history and background as well.

I love hometown horror so much

[richardsonsi · 10/10 · 4 September 2021]

I love hometown horror very much because it tells me rumors and stories of each event in the past...for example the Angola horror train wreck...the Angola horror train wreck was a terrible train accident and it happened on December 18th 1867 just after 3:00 pm...I would like to watch season 2 because I will LOVE SEASON 2 JUST HOW I LOVE SEASON 1...

Hometown Horror is very lame and childish

[cdeanroane · 1/10 · 26 November 2019]

If you are under 25 and immature you may find this exciting. This is a show that offers up no real facts just lots of rumors, hearsay and speculations! One has to wonder why this show was even broadcast. It does not even qualify as very low budget Blair Witch type of show. It is insulting that is formatted like a documentary.

Another disappointing show from the Travel Channel

[cdeanroane · 1/10 · 26 November 2019]

The Travel Channel seems to be fast becoming a station offering shows that seem to have to purpose presented in a documentary formatted. While I thought the first episode of Hometown Horror was bad, the second episode was even more strange in presenting that in Perryville KY the residents are being haunted in their homes by ghosts from the Civil War battle there. Unlike Expedition Unknown and Call of The Wild this show has no fixed presenter/s who dash off to locations, but just an announcer who makes commentary as in most documentary type shows just we do not know who this announcer is. Other then an authoritarian sounding voice to give a show offering no substantial facts an air of respectability!

Didn't get off the ground

[geecee1961 · 1/10 · 3 December 2019]

A pseudo docu type format borrowing badly from others in the same ilk, this was done so badly it sent me to sleep quicker than a dose of benzodiazepine, they obviously did very little in the way of research, they just tossed around thoughts in an ad lib kind of way, whoever signed of on the cash to make this is probably going to be looking for a job soon, it was truly excruciating to watch.

Thumbs down for Hometown Horror...

I hope there is not another season of hometown horror I don't like to show at all.. I think it's totally fake I don't like the actors in it I just don't think it should be released for another season there are better paranormal shows in this for sure. Paranormal witness was a way better paranormal show than this and they don't have any new seasons of that but they really should Ghost adventures is an awesome paranormal show and there is many more that I like as well like the haunted they don't play that or have any new seasons for that but they really should... I don't even see why they're still showing this show on travel channel it is so boring I don't even know what's going on half the time...
