Haunted History Hike 2016 Videos

Ashley Deshotel

LULING, LA-Of the four videos that I watched, I liked “The Town of LaBranche” the best. I liked how there was some background to the plot and it explained what was happening as opposed to blindly cutting to scenes mimicking a horror movie with no plot in the other videos. The others were less enjoyable because the acting was not the best (none of us are professional actors, but it could have been better nonetheless) and also the videos tried to make the viewer curious by having people be chased by an unseen monster, however there is no monsters in history and the scenes did not fit together in a coherent sequence. However terribly made, I could tell that the videos were supposed to make me curious about the Haunted History Hike and to make me what to go out and participate because each video practically ended with an understood statement of “Want to find out what happened? Come to the Haunted History Hike and find out.”
