After participating in Vampire Awareness Month back in July, I was overjoyed to hear that the folks over at Beyond Fiction were putting together a Ghost Appreciation Month as well, and I quickly threw my hat into that there ring.

This time out I’ll be contributing my thoughts on two movies, rather than just one. Of course I’ll be dropping in to talk about Guillermo del Toro’s The Devil’s Backbone later in the month, but today’s piece concerns The Frighteners.

Revisiting The Frighteners I found that I had maybe less to say about it than I might’ve imagined, but given the building blocks that make it up I don’t think it’s impact on my young mind should be underestimated.
