We promised an episode that was absolutely MENTAL and that is why our choice for episode 35 had to be Session 9, the 2001 release from director Brad Anderson! In this Horrible tale, a crew of asbestos removers accept an impossible job on a short deadline to try and earn a much-needed bonus at the end of their job. The location: None other than an abandoned and decaying insane asylum.* The set is real with no medical props provided. What begins as a straight-forward job, foreman Gordon “Gordy” Fleming (Peter Mullan) is overworked and stressed as he loses a grip on his home life and it begins to reflect in his sense of reality with every work day that passes. His right hand, Phil (David Caruso) begins to notice something is afoot but can’t quite see the depth of the situation at hand.

*Session 9 was filmed in a real, abandoned insane asylum in 2001. The Danvers State Insane Asylum stood abandoned for many years and was able to serve as the set for this incredible film. It was mostly demolished in 2006 to put up apartments to which we say, nay. www.thishorribleplace.com @thishorribleplace
