CW: Suicide, Rape
It’s a Haunted Dwelling Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey just moved into their new home, so they're taking this week to... I don't know, scare themselves?
Read our afterthoughts for this episode here!
The Classic Film: The Sentinel (1977)
"A young woman moves into an apartment in a building which houses a sinister evil” (IMDb.com). A Rosemary's Baby wannabe that makes several tasteless choices, The Sentinel is nevertheless a compelling tale that's generally well told.
The Modern Film: The Innkeepers (2011)
"During the final days at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, two employees determined to reveal the hotel's haunted past begin to experience disturbing events as old guests check in for a stay” (IMDb.com). As fans of Ti West's House of the Devil, Chris and Kelsey were gobsmacked that The Innkeepers could possibly have been made by the same person.
