The Haunting in Connecticut Scares on Blu-ray

Here’s another movie I missed seeing in the theatres during its theatrical release.  I look forward to catching it on Blu-ray in the very near future.  What movie am I talking about?  Well if you are a horror fan like me you may be excited to learn that Lionsgate has announced a July 14th DVD and Blu-ray release date for The Haunting in Connecticut.  Supposedly this film is based upon a true horror story.  I sure hope so as that will make it larger than life.  I guess only time will tell until I get a chance to check it out on Blu-ray.  Until then check out the press release below from Lionsgate on this exciting horror title.

When the Campbell family moves to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian home has a disturbing history: not only was the house formerly a funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but the owner’s clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to crossover.  Now, unspeakable terror awaits when Jonah, the boy who communicated with the dead, returns to unleash a new kind of horror on the innocent and unsuspecting family.
