'Not as scary as before': Viewers weigh in on 'KMJS Gabi ng Lagim X' special
MANILA, Philippines — GMA-7’s “Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho” trended online after airing its "Gabi ng Lagim X" episode on Sunday night.
The show got mixed reactions from social media users after it featured Kapuso actor Ruru Madrid, paranormal investigator Ed Caluag and social media personality Sassa Gurl.
Some said that the show should stick to theater actors rather than cast celebrities. Others shared they loved the previous editions of the special, even sharing their most favorite episodes.
Here are some reactions of Twitter users.
Sassa Gurl quipped about her appearance on the show where she played a student trapped inside a room with a girl who haunts their school. Most of the comments on social media said they were more amused than scared when they watched her scene.

Actor Ruru Madrid also posted about his guesting on the annual, highly anticipated special. He played a character who was the target of a vampiric, malevolent being called tiyanak. In the story, the tiyanak preys on men in Saranggani province.

Below are more comments, ranging from constructive criticism, witty remarks to disappointment.
This Gabi Ng Lagim used to be so good when they used theater actors who could act. It becomes corny and cringey when they start using Kapuso actresses and actors to reenact some story that they can't give justice to. Stories are not as scary as before.#KMJSGabiNgLagimX #KMJS

I was very excited for KMJS Gabi ng Lagim X, but I ended up disappointed. It was more of drama and comedy with OA reactions plus loud screams. They could have done better. #KMJSGabiNgLagimX

How could I take #KMJSGabiNgLagimX seriously when sassa girl and ed caluag is in there ????????

I just hope the KMJS team hears the constructive criticisms people have been airing out. Gabi ng Lagim has been an annual tradition, people are expecting to be scared out of their wits, and not encounter a corny show.

I am hoping #KMJSGabiNgLagimX used not so familiar actor/actresses just like their every week episode (horror ) so that we can feel the through essence of Gabi ng Lagim because it's once in a year. Kaya lubusin na.

Mas nakakatakot pa ang mga horror episode every sunday.
