Is there a more delicious phrase in the English language than "based on a true story"? Playing by the campfire rules that insist a ghost story is better when the teller "knows the guy" it happened to, The Haunting in Connecticut comes straight from reality... television. A 2002 Discovery Channel special first brought us the story of a family who discovers their new home was once a funeral parlor -- and not the fun, quirky Six Feet Under variety. Supernatural rendezvous commence, as the family's teenage son finds himself tormented by otherworldly demons and ghosts of the past. Intensely watchable young actor Kyle Gallner (Veronica Mars, The Shield) steps up to the plate in a starring role alongside Virginia Madsen and Elias Koteas.
