Session 9 scared the living **** out of me! I'm not courageous enough to watch it again. It didn't help matters that it was shot at Danvers State here in Massachusetts. Crikey, that place is scary. I get goosepimply just thinking about that place; the stories of abuse from that place are legendary.

I read that he ate apples for awhile too, but stopped eventually because he didn't have the energy to chew them.
He's one of the best actors out there. His talents are sometimes surreal to watch because he's so good.
