Exorcism Features in 'Matanglawin' Halloween Special This Sunday!

Kuya Kim enters the worlds of science and religion to sort facts from fiction when it comes to exorcism in the Halloween special of “Matanglawin” this Sunday (Oct 28)

Join the country’s Trivia King as he gets to know not only the “weapons” and “rituals” of exorcism, but also the why’s and how’s of demonic possession.

Get to know the difference between possession and oppression, and along the journey, hear real-life stories of exorcism.

Exorcism is the process of warding off evil spirits that are either in full or partly in possession of a person. Every year, there are about 15,000 cases of possession according to a report made by international media outfit CNN.

Some of these even possessions have become inspirations for Hollywood movies like “The Exorcist” or “The Exorcism of Emily Rose.”

According to priests Father Jocis Syquia and Father Jojo Zerrudo, who specialize under the Office of Exorcism under the Catholic Church, possession and exorcism are scarier in real life than on the big screen.

"Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay" Hits Theaters This Halloween!

Cinema One brings back the lovable “Dakilang Extra” Lilia Cuntapay through the award-winning  “Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay” in a special theatrical run in SM Theaters this Halloween beginning October 31.

This critically acclaimed movie originally screened at the 7th Cinema One Originals Film Festival won numerous awards. It features Cuntapay’s life as an often disregarded old woman who portrays ghostly and sinister roles in various Filipino horror films.

Writer-director Antoinette Jadaone’s directing style aims to show who Lilia Cuntapay is, outside her big horror façade. “This movie will definitely be about the heartbreaks and the joyous life of Lilia Cuntapay,” Jadaone said.

“I talked to Nanay Lilia and reminded her that in this film, she’s not a paranormal figure. She won’t show her finesse in horror but rather what she really is in real life. I infused some animations and surrealism in this movie, but it still remains truthful,” she added.

Cuntapay won the Best Actress award at the Cinema One Originals awards while the film won Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Audience Choice Award, Special Jury Prize and Best Supporting Actress for Geraldine Villamil.

“Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay” is Jadaone’s first full-length feature. The film veers away from Cuntapay’s same-old-story role.

According to a review written by Karen of audreymagazine.com, “Six Degrees will have you laughing and feeling good throughout. Whether her portrayal in this mockumentary is just part of the show or not, Cuntapay comes off as very adorable, quirky, and imaginative.”  Both the film and Cuntapay as a celebrity were big hits with the festival audience in Italy and South Korea.

Get to know the popular white lady behind most horror films on “Six Degrees of Separation From Lilia Cuntapay” showing in SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, SM Fairview, SM Mall of Asia, SM Southmall, SM Manila, SM Marikina, SM Sta. Mesa, and SM Bacoor beginning October 31.(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)

PBB Teens Treat Us with a Halloween Special This Sunday!

This Sunday, ABS-CBN brings us a special Halloween documentary special featuring the PBB Teens!
 

“Pinoy Big Brother” teen housemates Karen, Ryan, Joj, Jai, and Bing go on a road trip from Manila to Baguio to visit sites that are said to be haunted by ghosts and other creatures of the night in ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs’ special Halloween documentary “Takutan Tayo, Kaya Mo?” this Sunday (Oct 28).

The country’s favorite teens go ghost-hunting in an old house in Sampaloc, Manila that is believed to be haunted by the couple who first owned the property in 1937.

They will also prove if stories about headless priests, nuns, and marching Japanese soldiers can really be seen when darkness strikes in Pindangan Ruins in La Union.

Here is its teaser:

On their way to Baguio, the teens will try their luck if they will see the white lady allegedly lurking along Loakan road. Rumor has it that a taxi driver went out of his mind when he had an encounter with the white lady.
 

Karen, Ryan, Joj, Jai, and Bing will also enter the creepy Diplomat Hotel and Teacher’s Camp, two of the most popular haunted locations in the country. Will the paranormal world make their presence felt to them? Will the teens be brave enough to go through the challenge?
 

Other than going ghost-hunting, the teens will also share real-life, goosebumping stories of those who have experienced the paranormal backed up with testimonies, dramatization, and historical context. Some of the stories were taken online via posts from netizens in the show’s official Facebook page.
