If you’ve ever had your palm read, played “light as a feather, stiff as a board,” or tried to communicate with a spirit board, you know the devastating feeling when your mystical intentions fall on deaf ears. Hey, not all of us have the gift. But what if you were suddenly granted the power to speak to the dead… and they wouldn’t leave you the hell alone?!
In today’s Nerdist Presents, we take you to The Mystic Museum for a supernatural comedy where an ordinary paralegal comes face to face with the paranormal. Starring The Magicians‘ Olivia Taylor Dudley, Kristian Bruun from Orphan Black, and Kelsey Gunn as the proprietor of the titular metaphysical emporium, The Mystic Museum brings together a haunted, skeptical paralegal and the owner of a local curiosities shop to communicate with the dead.
Who would you like to see Olivia and Kelsey contact next? Let us know in the comments below or on Twitter!
Welcome to Nerdoween! Throughout the month of October, we’ll be celebrating everything spooky, macabre, and just plain weird. Nerdoween 2017 is presented by Alpha, our interactive membership service, which offers you exclusive content from Nerdist and Geek & Sundry, as well as a 10% discount on all of our merch.
