B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite mermaid content into the ol’ VCR.

I was fortunate enough to grow up in the heyday of paranormal television. 

From Buffy to Charmed, KP and I tuned in to all of our favorites. 

One specific niche of paranormal content that we were particularly fond of (and that was particularly trendy) was what I like to call “crossing-over” content. 

The idea is simple. 

A person is blessed/cursed with a gift to see spirits who have yet to move toward the light and spend the entire episode helping said spirit resolve their unfinished business and cross over, hence the name. 

While these storylines sometimes intermingled with our favorite monster of the week shows, there were handful of shows and movies dedicated to this specific concept. 

And I’ve noticed that crossing-over content is making a resurgence. 

Now, I do have a couple of disclaimers. 

First, I tried to pick content that included multiple spirits. 

I know that shows like Boo Bitch would’ve worked here, but I allowed The Sixth Sense because our boy encounters a myriad of spirits throughout the movie. 

With that being said, I know there’s a case to be made that School Spirits shouldn’t count, BUT a) a good chunk of the story revolves around crossing over, and b) the spirits in the show can possess the bodies of the living, making themselves “seen.” 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are seven of my favorite pieces of crossing-over content: 

• Medium 
• Not Dead Yet 
• Dead Like Me 
• School Spirits 
• The Sixth Sense 
• Ghost Whisperer 
• Darby and the Dead
