In regard to the second youtube clip, the 1408 trailer:
"Let us take first the uncanny effects associated with the omnipotence of thoughts, instantaneous wish-fulfilment, secret harmful forces and the return of the dead. There is no mistaking the conditions under which the sense of the uncanny arises here. We - or our primitive forebears - once regarded such things as real possibilities; we were convinced that they really happened. Today we no longer believe in them, having surmounted such modes of thought. Yet we do not feel entirely secure in these new convictions; the old ones live on in us, on the look-out for confirmation. Now, as soon as something happens...that seems to confirm these old, discarded beliefs, we experience a sense of the uncanny...It is thus solely a matter of testing reality, a question of material reality." Freud, 154
