Still the best

Enjoyable and entertaining doco about alleged supernatural hi jinx around Tinsel Town.

Generally well put together and most definitely tongue in cheek although historically interesting. Gives both true believers and the skeptics a chance to express their respective points of view.

Regarding the comedy song routine at the end,I didn't have a problem with that. In fact, I thought it was rather fun. I understand exactly what the producers were doing. It was just a way of saying "Don't take EVERYTHING that you've just seen too seriously".

Similar documentaries to do with the same subject followed after this one but "Hollywood Ghost Stories" is still the best.
