"Certain places seem designed from the ground up to play host to horrors. Cabins in the woods. Cemeteries. Underground caverns. Australia. The one that brings us together today, though, is one that most of us find familiar. Our house, a place that could be cozy and modern or large and drafty — the common denominator is that a family of some manner calls it home. That's what makes it so unsettling and terrifying when something evil begins haunting its rooms and halls.
It's the reason haunted house movies — of one form or another — make up roughly fifty-two percent of all horror films. It's true. Go count up all the horror movies ever made, do a little math, and you'll see I speak the truth. We've all lived in a home of some kind, and the idea of unwelcome visitors, particularly the ghostly kind, is the kind of spooky none of us want to deal with. Makes for good, creepy fun when it's someone else's problem though!"
