Documentary?[edit]

Is documentary a proper category for this series? IMDB does not categorize the series as documentary, but as Horror, Mystery, Reality-TV. It might be presented in a documentary-style manner (but seems to be a sensationalist "reality-tv" show on superstitions and some fictious events, with one of the references calling it "Fox fiction")... 76.10.128.192 (talk) 01:25, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This program does not seem to qualify as a documentary. Wikipedia's own definition states "A documentary film is a nonfictional motion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record." This program's focus is neither on instruction nor maintaining a historical record, rather it is primarily a kind of "game show" meant for entertainment purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.40.167 (talk) 02:02, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed it (I used to be 76.10.128.192). Thanks, PaleoNeonate (talk) 12:59, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
