And the Award for Least Terrifying Horror Movie Poster Ever Goes To…
…Boy Vomiting Plastic Bag Poster for The Haunting in Connecticut, which incidentally was also a finalist for “Least Terrifying Horror Movie Title.” Is this movie planning on being an actual theatrical release, or is it just planning on premiering on SciFi at 11PM on a Saturday?
Nope, in theaters March 27th starring Virginia Madsen and absolutely no one else you’ve ever heard of. At least it’s not “based on a true story” or even better “inspired by true events.” I’m pretty sure a boy has never vomited a haunted plastic bag in real life before.
Update: It is a based on true events, which I would have discovered had I read the top of the poster… Whoops. See the comments for what these “true events” are.
you’ve never heard of Elias Koteas…. then why are you even saying anything about movies?
The Discovery Channel series of ghost shows called ” A Haunting” did a story about this. Its on every afternoon during the weekdays and this Connecticut storys runs pratically every other week. Its a true story with the same title about a teenager with cancer whos folks moved into an old funeral home to be near the cancer hospital. His parents put him in his brothers in the basement/morgue and theyd see blackshadows which the parents ofcourse think the kids of nuts till the teen with cancer has a breakdown.
So it is a true story. And by true story you mean someone saw shadows in a basement one time. And this somehow equals kid vomiting bag.
who knows if hes vomiting a hefty, its the 2009 version of pea soup. As far as “true” thats what they say so lets all play along. http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4971983318/m/8001950618. It’ll be interesting to see if they 2007 Amittyville Horror it and bastardize it.
The kid seen the shadows all the time, weak as a cat from chemo so he couldnt bolt out with his iv pole. Its pretty intense for a tv movie.
I believe in this kind of stuff – I know it’s hard to imagine and they are just trying to get people interested with the “true story” and what the eff is in that kids mouth strategies… but I don’t know – i think its worth a chance.
hehe, I’m from the town the events take place in.
