Author's Note - Children and ghosts

Ghost movies are so popular and numerous that there is an entire sub-genre focused solely on films where a child or teen is the primary character. They might be the one who has the first or only interaction with the spirit world or they might be the spirits themselves, trying to reach over to us for help. Some of the films I have in mind are truly effective in creating a spooky and chilling atmosphere by keeping things simple while a few others depend on special effects and the intensity is clearly dampened. Even though I’ve already reviewed “The Shining” and “Poltergeist”, there are still several strong films left to watch and talk about.
