The Uncanny: Research (Slideshow)

Beginning to look at the Uncanny for the essay... Starting by following the recomended sites on MyUCA beginning with http://www.gorelets.com/uncanny  I found this slide show which has some useful notes summing up Freud's Theory with a few examples. The slide titled 'in Horror texts' it mentions the traverller approaching an unfamiliar house which is the narrative idea i had with the barn idea. The text highlights the films Psycho, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre so it will be useful to look those.
