Update: 'Haunting in Connecticut' Becomes a Trilogy

Lionsgate's The Haunting in Connecticut has made an astounding 55m at the box office here in the States, which in Hollyweird screams sequel. While we already broke the news in February of a potential sequel in the works, we just discovered that Gold Circle Films, the producers behind the first film, are hard at work on a TRILOGY. Read on for details.

The sequel currently in development is going to be called Haunting in New York and is based on the life rights to "A Haunting: The Diabolical," a TV documentary that ran in 2006 on the Discovery Channel. "The Diabolical" was the second episode in the second season on the ongoing series.

"A Haunting: The Diabolical" Synopsis: Marie's daughter suffers from a mental condition that keeps her from speaking. During the three years they've lived in their home, Marie has witnessed her communicating with someone she could not see. Marie was unworried, having decided it was positive angels. But upon his first visit, Marie's boyfriend, Chris, feels a dark presence in the house. Using a Ouija board, the two unintentionally open up the home to a diabolical that is using Julie as a portal. A team of paranormal investigators soon decide the case is more serious than they can handle and arrange with the Church for an exorcism.

Considering the second bows well, Gold Circle is also working on the rights to tell the tale of Haunting in Georgia, which will officially turn this into a franchise.

UPDATE: "A Haunting in Georgia" is the chilling story of four-year-old Heidi and her imaginary friends Mr. Gordy and Con. As Heidi reveals mysterious details about the two, her parents become concerned ... could her playmates be more than make-believe? When the rest of the family begins experiencing terrifying phenomena -- waking with deep gashes on their bodies--it seems there's little they can do to stop the escalating nightmare.

You can watch "A Haunting: The Diabolical" below:

This is so far the worst movie Ive seen this year next to The Unborn.

Awful film. I hadn't been so bored watching a movie in a theater in a long time.

Everyone says the first film was so "terrible"...yet nobody says why? Is it because it's trendy to rip on PG-13 horror? Personally, I thought it was well done. Much better than other supposed "based on a true story" haunted house films.

Drag Me To Hell was awesome.

It has nothing to do with the PG-13 rating. I loved Drag Me To Hell. I also enjoyed The Grudge, The Ring, and Dark Water. But it's the story itself that ruins it. Boy has disease, boy takes medicine and hallucinates. The trailer alone bored me.

Man, the medicine was not making him hallucinate. Him seeing all those ghosts was not because of medicine, it was because the house was HAUNTED! Hence the name of the movie and the fact that it was based on true events. The movie was great, you all must not know a good movie if knocked on your door and scared the shit out of you. Btw, dark water sucks.

What's the point? new family in a different house and state? doesn't sound interesting.

Thanks for the video, but you forgot the last part! I had to go on YouTube to find it. I think that will be an awesome movie, cause the discovery channel program is freaking me out!

The concept of making these ghost movies is enough to want to open purgatory and stuff the idea in there so it can never bother people again. There are too many lame ghost movies that just need to go away!!!!

Umm the first one was alright but it was basically just a watered down version of Amityville Horror. I don't really need a sequel let alone TWO sequels. Lionsgate you disappoint me. Make MBV 2 or Hostel 3.

i loved the original thought it was brilliant so the prospect of two sequels sounds brilliant to me

yeah i thought "Connecticut" was good. but it wasn't scary at all. i remember seeing "Georgia" on Unsolved Mysteries and "A Haunting" and I remember it creeped the hell outta me. i never saw the "New York" one.

I didn't see HIC. It looked like shit to me. Just a PG-13 cash-in with that whole "based on a true story" tagline. A 2 and 3 is just a terrible idea.

I loved the trailer; however I was very much disappointed with the film for it was boring, hard to believe, and they didn’t stay true to the characters or “REAL” hauntings. If they do the trilogy based off of the Discovery Channel’s show “A Haunting in _______” wouldn’t be a bad idea as long as each one is a new story with no reference to the previous film. They are all on youtube if anyone wants to watch them, just search “A Haunting in.” I would give the next movie a chance.

HiC was one of few PG-13 movies that didn't feel watered-down in the gore department because it didn't really require much. It was much better than The Unborn and most other recent PG-13 horrors like The Grudge 1-2, Boogeyman, etc. Too bad concering the Ouija board as Michael Bay could have used that plot for his upcoming movie based on the Hasbro toy.

This film was the same thing over and over again. It was very boring. Not because of it's rating because of it's script. The cast was good with Virginia Madsen and the guy who played her son but the whole thing all seemed like we'd seen it before and better.

Dark Water and The Grudge were horrible. I wasn't a huge fan of The Ring either. The sense of realism that HIC had was the bast part about it. I will be watching the sequels at the theater for sure. People who didn't even watch the first one are ripping sequels. Thats just ricockulous.

A Haunting In Georgia is something I saw on Discovery Channel and I think they can pull it off. A Haunting In New York kinda sounds just like Haunting In Connecticut.
