In the heat of summer, a good horror movie can provide the right chill.
The darkness enveloped me, and despite the summer heat outside, the air in the building was cool.
I sat in silence, intently focused, anticipating what happened next, but not quite prepared.
I tensed up upon seeing the spectral woman directly ahead of me.
Rather, summer is a great season for a ghost movie.
Nor was it the first.
Whats more, the trend is not limited to big-budget tentpole releases, and it extends across genres.
Of course, great ghost stories simply resonate with audiences no matter what time of year they are released.
But this paranormal pop culture pattern is too coincidental to deny.
