Paranormal Asylum: The Revenge of Typhoid Mary

2013 ·1h 28m · ★ 4.0 (29)

Filmmaker friends Mark and Andy investigate the legend of Typhoid Mary, a girl who was locked up in an insane asylum that was believed to be haunted. But bad things start to happen after Andy's fiancée conducts a séance to summon Mary's spirit.

Why it matters

A low-budget ghost hunt that leans into haunted asylum tropes with earnest DIY charm and a dash of séance-fueled dread.

  • Lean, found-footage style keeps the tension tight despite budget constraints—think early Paranormal Activity meets regional haunt lore.
  • The asylum setting taps into classic institutional horror anxieties, evoking films like Session 9 and Grave Encounters.
  • Practical effects and atmosphere are sparse but sincere, offering moments that might click for fans of micro-budget haunt flicks.
  • Not for those craving polished scares or narrative clarity, but a curiosity for viewers who appreciate earnest indie efforts mining haunted house mythology.
