That goes without saying really. I am not a huge fan of Haunted House movies and (Gasp!) I am not a big The Shining fan either.

I think Session 9 is one of the very best examples of utilising psychological horror within a particular setting as opposed to a typical ghost movie with the usual 'jump out of your skin' scenes.

I still haven't seen The Changeling!
