Well, I'm not digging for any old thread about this, but it could be good if they do it right. I always liked the first book, and I think it's arrogant to dismiss the possibility of real poltergeist phenomena.
I like to read this book alone my first night in a new house. This or the Exorcist. Something very frightening. Just 'cuz if there is something malevolent in the house that doesn't want me there, I want to challenge it right away, before I get my stuff unpacked, you know? That way I could get the eff outta dodge if I have to, and right away.
As long as they don't try to make another "Amityville 3-D" God, that was so horrible. One I couldn't even laugh my way through.
