It was once mentioned by Stephen King in Danse Macabre as one of his ****ed up films that ****ed him up, that's where i first learnt of it along with man with the x ray eyes I think, although i may just be a massive bullshit artist at this point.
There's a segment where he's describing films as a sort of test. Man I haven't read it in years but i'm pretty sure i didn't imagine it....
