A Haunting in Connecticut

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Finally, after all of the reruns of the dramatization on Discovery Channel, it looks like “In a Dark Place” has made it to the big screen.  The original book, In a Dark Place, by Ray Garton (and Ed and Lorraine Warren) attempted to tell the story of Al and Carmen Snedecker with an “Amityville-esqu” plot.  However, as Ray Garton states in an interview with Amityville Horror debunker, Ric Osuna, Al and Carmen could not get their stories straight and was suspicious of the authenticity of the haunting.

I tend to give Ray Garton the benefit of the doubt, as Ed and Lorraine have had credibility issues in the past.  I’m not sure whether the story was completely embellished or not, but, I am sure that it was exaggerated.  I’m looking forward to the movie though, because I tend to enjoy supernatural horror more than blood and guts gore.  You can check out the trailers at http://hauntinginconnecticut.com.

I wonder if John Zaffis will play John Zaffis?
