It's another Haunting Week on Pod Sematary! This time, Chris & Kelsey discuss two movies that may have stolen each other's twist structure!

The Classic Film: The Changeling (1980)
"A man staying at a secluded historical mansion finds himself being haunted by the presence of a spectre." The Changeling is responsible for many long-tested horror tropes, but is it even that scary itself?

The Modern Films: Ghost Storeis (2017)
"Skeptical professor Phillip Goodman embarks on a trip to the terrifying after being given a file with details of three unexplained cases of apparitions." Is this creatively re-inventive premise undermined by its own twist?
