It’s been almost a year since we got a new episode of The Kirlian Frequency, Cristian Ponce and Hernán Bengoa’s eerie series of animated radio broadcasts from an off-the-map town where there’s always some new supernatural trouble stirring.

In honor of Amazon’s new series Truth Seekers, we’re rounding up our favorite embodiments of that good ol’ scary-movie trope: ghost hunters! Technically all of these folks succeed because they all find ghosts (that’s why there’s no Scooby-Doo gang on this list), but some triumph more than others.

As a woman who is also at least part robot, I have a deep-held affinity for Alita. Her first film outing (hopefully not her last) didn’t check every box, but it was a lot of fun. And it sure was visually striking, with some intense and innovative visual effects work.
