I get there is a craze with the Anabelle franchise as well as ghost hunting shows, so it's not a surprise someone would have thought to create a show about discussing possessed or haunted items. This haunted object premise COULD be cool if proof of the object's history was shown and discussed. Not hard, they did it all the time on Ghost Adventures.
Next, the butler named Theodore who brings Zak his mail. The segment really had nothing to do with the haunted object but rather a way for Zak to introduce the fact he now has a butler. The set...and this is definitely a set has 4 rooms? Why does he need a butler? The feel of the show is just OVERLY dramatic and the ego-mania is stifling.
If Zak and his crew wanted to explore haunted and cursed antiquities that have apparently killed people, I don't think it's wise to have guests of the show drag the object out into public where it can be in contact with unsuspecting people. It's kind of a reckless thing to do if one TRULY believes these objects are possessed. This is the neglected detail that sinks the show's credibility for me. I'm no expert but I would imagine that an experienced ghost hunter would want to retrieve and transport the object themselves knowing how dangerous it can be to unsuspecting people. If the host got off his throne and retrieved these demonic items from their place of origin it would inspire actual ghostly events to occur as well as lend itself to better storytelling.
Ghost Adventures was such a hit because of its casts honest chemistry and the playful rhythm that made it authentic and relatable even if you didn't believe in ghosts. They joked, they screamed and most importantly they had fun and that's why it was so fun to watch.
In conclusion, no I'm would not watch another hour of Zak desperately trying to get people to take him as seriously as he does himself which is the only creepy element of the show.
