This was originally titled "My World Dies Screaming", and that's a much better title. I don't even know why they changed it to "Terror in the Haunted House", because there are no ghosts or demons in this film at all. I thought this movie had a great plot and storyline, but it was somewhat marred by irritating "subliminal" messages of devils, skulls, etc. These "messages" are only slightly startling, and used in only three scenes. The best ones say "rent Rhino videos everyday", and they were added by the Rhino company once they released it to home video. This was probably only meant to be a joke, but they could have had more sinister ideas in their head... Some people have called this movie boring, and that it looked more like a play than a movie. Well, think about it. The movie only had five speaking parts,and not many locations. Listen to the dialogue and try to come up with a picture in your mind for all of the events they discuss. When I did that, I got creeped out. Other pros to this film: Good (over)acting, exciting climax, a beautiful actress, and clever plot twists. Psycho- Rama was canceled the year it debuted. Some people probably think it was because it was too scary, but I think it was because it was lame.
