Nobody really asked for it, but the sequel to the sleeper hit The Haunting in Connecticut is now well on the way, with Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff along with Abigail Spencer and Chad Michael Murray all set to endure **The Haunting in Georgia{
Tom Elkins, who edited the first film, is directing the supposedly real-life tale of the Wyrick family, who relocate to a haunted house with all sorts of dreadful "They're heeeeeere" consequences. Sackhoff will play the wild-child sister of Spencer. Both suffer hereditary spooky visions that they fear have been inherited by Spencer's daughter, played by Emily Alyn Lind. Murray plays Spencer's no-nonsense, blue-collar husband.
A thoroughly TV roster then: Murray starred in One Tree Hill; Spencer was in the fourth season of Mad Men (although she's also in Jon Favreau's Cowboys and Aliens); and Sackhoff, of course, was the kick-ass Kara Thrace (aka Starbuck) in Battlestar Galactica. Since BSG she's knocked around in the short-lived Bionic Woman reboot, 24 and CSI. But a mid-level horror sequel is kind of coming full circle for the actress, since pre-BSG her most visible role was in Halloween: Resurrection, where we got to see her severed head roll down the stairs. Hopefully she'll come out of this one intact.
Shooting on The Haunting in Georgia begins in the decidedly non-Georgian Baton Rouge imminently. Next up for the franchise, if all goes to plan, is The Haunting in New York.
