Why We Rated This off for Ages 15 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    No redeeming social value.
  • Violence:

    Discussion of severe violence, including murder. Some blurry, computer-generated re-enactments of violence. Lots of scary tension.
  • Sex:

    Some female participants wear tight clothing. Some discussion of abortion, sex before marriage, etc.
  • Language:

    Tons of bleeped curse words -- most of which are obvious, despite the bleeping.
  • Consumerism:

    Participants are often from other reality shows, so in a way, these other shows are being promoted.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Some smoking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Celebrity Paranormal Project

Parents need to know that this scary, pointless reality show features close-up shots of people (mostly C-list celebrities) being truly scared, as well as computer-generated images of ghosts and other paranormal activity. Participants engage in creepy acts like tying up a noose or sawing through bone in order to draw out spirits. Scenes are often dark, shadowy, and sometimes pierced with unexplained screams. Some participants treat others poorly, and in at least one episode, two people are engaged in a screaming match. There's lots of cursing, too, though most is bleeped.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about haunted houses. Do you believe in ghosts or other spirits? Why or why not? Have you ever felt or seen something that couldn't be explained except by paranormal activity? Do you believe that the show's participants actually experience paranormal activity? Do you think some of the activity is faked by the producers? Why would they do that? Why do so many reality TV stars keep showing up in other projects? Do you think shows like this help their careers or hurt it?

    Pros and Cons of CElebrity Paranormal Project

    I am a fresh out the box teenager who really thinks that cpp(celebrity paranormal project) is a very good show. I have seen and recorded every episode. There is nothing wrong with this show. some people should just stp criticizing things and just appreciate the show and i prefer it because as a 14 year old boy i can honestly say this tv show even scares me sometimes.I think there should be no reason at any circumstance that this show should not be viewed by a minor. Everyone of all ages should be able 2 watch.

    Interesting

    This show is interesting because it's Celebrities (some professional actors) who are doing this show. They act for a living why would you believe that they are actually going thru any kind of fear. I enjoyed it because they really kept it interesting. Like taking a spin and adding a professional Skiier. That was a nice addition to the crew.

    edge of seat.

    I found myself wanting to watch this, over and over. It is upsetting that I have to wait a week just to watch another episode, but I ancciously await. There are comedical things that happen, which is a tension release, but then, there are things that you can actually see on the tv screen. I have gotten my whole family involved in this show, and we even think of what we would do, if we had to do some of the things that the celeberties had to do. I do feel I can handle almost all the things, except when I would have to do them alone, that is my biggest fear, and that would be more harmful, then helpful, but if I had someone with me, then I would be excited to try anything. Thank you
