In Theaters March 27, 2009

Director: Peter Cornwell
Cast: Virginia Madsen, Amanda Crew, Elias Koteas, Kyle Gallner, Martin Donovan
Synopsis: In the tradition of such real-life horror movies as 'The Exorcist' and 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose', THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT tells the astounding true story of one family's supernatural ordeal. When Sara and Peter Campbell's son Matt is diagnosed with cancer, they uproot their family to Connecticut for his treatment. As the family settles into their new home, Matt grows increasingly disturbed by paranormal activity that seems to inhabit and possess the house. At a loss to help her frightened family, his mother turns to an enigmatic priest who appears to rid the house of its ghosts-- until the boy's condition takes a sudden and unexplained turn for the worse and their lives are put in grave danger.

THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT poster sent out earlier this week spurred conversation about ectoplasm. So check out a bit of background information about it!

QUESTION: What exactly IS ectoplasm?

ANSWER: Charles Richet created the word ectoplasm from the Greek words ektos and plasma, which together mean "outside formed" to first describe the physical manifestations of spiritual energy. It comes out of the medium’s orifices (ears, nose, mouth, etc.) in a gauzy or gooey-like substance. It’s most memorable in the movie Ghost Busters when the characters “got slimed” – that was ectoplasm.

Often when found in photographs, any unexplainable mist and vapors have been called ectoplasm. The structure of the ectoplasm can vary, but is always a result of paranormal activity.

The video below is actual footage of ectoplasm:
