There comes a point in every horror fan's life when these type of books seem elementary. Of course, this is only a generalization as I haven't read the book, but a lot of us here have probably already seen a large chunk of the titles listed in this movie, and already know a lot of the history behind them. I hope I'm wrong, but a lot of these types of books tend to cover the same ground.

Also, it doesn't help that the cover art is Poltergeist, which IMO is overrated as all hell, and is one of the last horror films I'd recommend to someone.
