The Haunting In Connecticut To Get Follow Up Film
Posted by John Campeaon 18. 06. 2009in News Chat
Generally when you hear about sequels getting made, the originals made a big splash at the box office that give the studios confidence to move forward with another one. The Haunting In Connecticut wasn’t by any means a failure at the box office, taking in over $55 million, but it wasn’t exactly a smash hit either. But then again, they’re not really talking about a sequel, but more a follow up.
The word is that they’re looking at shooting The Haunting In Georgia. Not a sequel per se, and would have completely different characters. The folks over at AICN give us this:
The producers of THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT are mulling a similarly themed follow-up to the film…to be called THE HAUNTING IN GEORGIA…meaning it’ll probably feature hickier ghosts. Ti West (THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and the forthcoming CABIN FEVER 2) will direct the new film.
Hey, if they can make these films for $20 million and enough people wanna see them that it makes $60 million, why not?

Man, I hated that film. It was same thing like The Uninvited, The Unborn, Haunting In Connecticut and Grudge 2. It revolves around someone or something being haunted, followed by random cheap ”scares” that involve deformed people popping out of nowhere. I mean things were popping out of everywhere.
I thought it was a totally lame horror film. The whole thing just kept packing on conventions and cliche after cliche.
Amittyville Horror was WAY better that this piece of crap
Just remember: the 1979 Horror spawned both theatrical and DTV sequels up until the mid 90′s. Not like anyone really asked for them.
thats right it doesn’t matter how little or small the BO is if it makes a profit then studios will always be open to making a sequel…
unlike superman returns…..
Why? Is hollywood getting so desperate they have to make a follow up to a movie that was not just bad bbut absolutely terriible. I guess, like saw, if you can make a movie for pennies and get back gold fuck it you might as well make it as long as moviegoers choose to see complete shit and be OK with it.
Milk the cow
drain the brain
sounds DTV so have at it.
This is pretty strange, but I guess Georgia is a more scary state than Connecticut…
