Monday, December 31st

. The channel is ringing in 2019 with a two-day marathon of its wildly popular, hit series

The lineup will feature some of the series’ most terrifying and unforgettable episodes from recent seasons – including “The Slaughter House” featuring superstar Post Malone, “The Titanic Museum” and “Return to Winchester Mystery House.”

The marathon culminates in the television premiere of Zak Bagans’ film, “Demon House,” on Tuesday, January 1.

“Demon House” – Two-Hour Documentary; Television Premiere

Premieres Tuesday, January 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT

In 2014, the story of a demon possession in Gary, Indiana, caused a worldwide media sensation. Paranormal investigator Zak Bagans was producing an episode of his popular television series, “Ghost Adventures,” when the story broke; he bought the house a day later over the phone, sight unseen. But Bagans and his crew were unprepared for what awaited them at the house possessed by “200 demons.” Bagans soon suffered from a debilitating illness, crew members quit and people nearly died … Bagans even started to wonder if just viewing the film could open audiences up to possession themselves. Had he made a movie too dangerous to release? “Demon House: Lost Footage” – One-Hour Special
