Eli Roth points out that ghost movies have been with us since the dawn of cinema and show no signs of ever departing the world of film.
“Ghost movies have been with us since the dawn of cinema. Some ghosts are benevolent, some ghosts are malicious, but they all represent the mystery of what happens to us after we die. Stephen King, Haley Joel Osment and others break down the appeal of spooky spirits.”
One of the most successful ghost stories of all time remains M. Night Shyamalan’s 1999 Oscar-nominated film, the Sixth Sense. As such, one of the stars of The Sixth Sense will be joining Roth and company to discuss some of the secrets behind the infamous and critically lauded film.
