The Haunting In Connecticut is one of those movies that’s hard to catagorize. While not necessarily a slasher flick, it earns its place on my Best Slasher Movies list because sometimes you don’t need blood and guts to be truly terrifying.

The fact that The Haunting in Connecticut is based on a true story is what does it for me. Imagine a setup more ideal for a horror movie: a mother moves into a new home with her son so that they are closer to the hospital where he receives treatment for cancer. Upon moving in they discover that the house was formerly a funeral home that may have been the site of seances and various other sinister acts. From there, strange and awful things start happening; convincing the family that their new house in haunted. Scary, no? Of course it is. Scarier still that apparently this all really happened to Sarah Campbell and her son, Matt.

Quick Review: The Haunting in Connecticut is one of those movies that makes you thank whatever religious figure you pray to, or, lacking that, your lucky stars that the weirdest thing that happens in your house is when you light bulb blows out as soon as you change it. Wait… that’s not normal, is it? I’ll be sleeping with the blankets over my head tonight.
