Bet your HMO doesn’t cover this: orderlies from beyond the grave, horrifying medical experiments, a ghost in black pushing a baby carriage, hearts beating in a jar, modern interiors clashing with an exterior straight out of “Better Transylvanian Homes & Gardens,” and worst of all, bad hospital food.
That is what the doctor ordered for “All Souls,” a promising new UPN horror series (8 p.m. Tuesday, WPWR-Ch. 50).
The unique premise produced by Aaron Spelling and Mark Frost, who worked out of Spelling’s production company on “Twin Peaks,” is set at a 300-year-old haunted medical center in Boston whose motto is “Never Rest” . . . ghosts included.
A hotshot young doctor (Grayson McCouch) experiences the unnatural after he is pulled to work at All Souls Hospital — literally, as it turns out.
“You didn’t come here by chance, you were called,” warns a psychic nurse (Chicago’s Irma P. Hall). “This is a special place . . . the dead have power here.”
So do other shows on a competitive Tuesday. This series will have to face “Frasier,” “Dharma & Greg,” “What About Joan” and others that probably will give “All Souls” the heebie-jeebies.
