Last night, I was able to catch up with GMA-7's presentation of "Spooky Night". And for the first time I was impressed, and it's safe to say that for the first time it was spooky.
The particular "Spooky Nights" episode was titled "Sapi" which featured Geoff Eigenmann and Heart Evangelista which by the way will make a comeback as love teams in an upcoming Kapuso soap opera "Legacy". I wasn't able to watch watch it entirely but the story tackles about Ehra Madrigal whose spirit possessed Heart Evangelista's body to seek revenge. Ehra by the way committed suicide. At the end, just when everybody thought that they were able to exorcise Ehra's spirit form Heart's body, she returned and once again possessed Heart and caused the later to also commit suicide by hanging herself.
I'm impressed because the ending was not predictable and not a happy ending like the typical exorcism stories on TV where the demon will be successfully exorcised, this time the demon was successful to bring demise to the victim. There was a particular scene where a crucifix was spinning on the wall gave me goosebumps and Ehra Madrigal's acting as an evil spirit was convincing.
Since "Spooky Nights" started airing on GMA-7, it's episode were all comedy-horror and parodies of GMA soaps, but last night, it was more serious and the topic was sensitive. The Kapuso Network should do this more often.
