STUPID STUPID STUPID NEW TITLE. DUMB.


Dumba** executives changed the title from A Haunting in Georgia (which is a great title) to A Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia. That makes absolutely no *beep* sense.

This title change makes me not want to see the movie.

I agree. A very stupid title. Also, the movie doesn't look good at all. The true story (or what they claim is true) is very frightening and so is the documentary from the Discovery Channel. This movie looks like they took the names of the real-life people and then crafted their own story. Also, the trailer is full of ridiculous Georgia stereotypes. I live here, and it isn't some hillbilly wasteland where banjo music is played constantly.

HAHAHA, this might be the most hilarious thing I've seen in a while, Haunting in Connecticut 2: The Ghosts of Georgia? HAHAHAHAHA! I mean come on, how can you not laugh at this sh!t. Jesus Christ, Someone is getting paid to make these decisions. In fact, probably a whole group of people! There has to be some sort of award for this kind of sh!t, no?

Probably the dumbest title since "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Not to mention, the trailer doesn't represent the way everything reportedly happened.

Very disappointing. Hopefully it's not too late to change it back.

And yeah, the trailer doesn't really alude to Mr. Gordy that much. He was the creepiest part of the original documentary!

The movie looks good, and it was the studio's decision to change the title. I'm not going to change my mind and not contribute my money to the cast and crew for a film I'm most likely going to enjoy at least once.

The movie looks good


So how'd it work out?

Dumbest sequel name since Journey 2.

Why not call it A Haunting in Georgia and have the tag "from the makers of A Haunting in Connecticut"?

because they obviously want to make the connection to the first film clear.

The main selling point of this film is that it is a sequel to a somewhat successful horror film, so they want to make sure consumers know this just by looking at the title.

I don't really have a problem with the title as I am not American: I knew Georgia was a state, but Connecticut could have been a city in Georgia for all I knew. I had to look it up to realize it was a state.

See that Monty Python sketch parodying "Scott of the Antarctic." Hollywood getting their geography wrong is nothing new. Connecticut is in the northeast, Georgia is in the south. It can't be a haunting in Conn. if it's in Georgia!!! People aren't so dumb that they won't know its a sequel to the previous film. This is an example of Hollywood thinking the American public is dumb. This film will flop regardless as the first film was just OK and I doubt the sequel will be any better.

Saw this on the home page and had to come to the forums.

I mean, I know most movie execs are usually just a room full of coke-blasted middle-aged white millionaires with absolutely no idea how to make a film, but insist that they must "always be a Closer."

But how, among all the people involved in making this film: the actors, director, writers, cameraman, personal assistants, key grips, stunt doubles, caterers...

How did all these people come to the same conclusion:

1) This title makes sense
2) This is a good title for a movie to have
3) People really liked the first one and it was generally a well-received film that wasn't completely boring, pointless, bland, uninspired, hack-rate garbage with an awful script and a C-list cast that barely made $20m opening weekend because most people were fooled enough by the spooky trailer to think that they might see a "horror" movie that's not only frightening but possibly also interesting and engaging.

reply

why are you assuming they came to that conclusion? Maybe they all thought the name was terrible. Why would a key grip have a say in what the film was named?

Also, I believe the name was changed after shooting was complete, so your little rant is kind of pointless.

reply

I enjoy the fact that you're defending this title because you personally were unaware that Georgia is a state within the United States.

I'm going to make a movie called 'The Haunting in Quebec 2: Ghosts of Puerto Rico' because for all I know, Puerto Rico is a city in Quebec!
