The Haunting in Connecticut scares up several bonus
features worth investigating. First up is a pair of commentary tracks, both
available only with the unrated version of the film, the first with Director
Peter Cornwell, Producer Andy Trapani, Writer Adam Simon, and Editor Tom Elkins.
A by-the-book commentary, these participants run the gamut of the usual array of
topics, speaking on the origins of the project, the quality of the actors, the
plot, its themes, and other assorted tidbits. Plenty of humor finds its way into
this one, too. Track two features Director Cornwell and Actors Virginia Madsen
and Kyle Gallner. The track flows a bit better than the other and retains its
sense of humor, particularly through the dominant Madsen, mixing both background
anecdotes and pertinent information on the film. Two Dead Boys: The Making of
'The Haunting in Connecticut' (1080p, 14:36) is a basic piece that delivers
cast and crew speaking on the history of the project, the assemblage of the cast
and the strengths they brought to the project, the challenge of working around
the picture's dark themes, the sets, and more.
The Fear is Real: Reinvestigating the Haunting (1080p, 41:46) is a
two-part documentary composed primarily of interview clips with the Snedeker's,
the family whose story inspired the film, and their friends and associates.
Anatomy of a Haunting (1080p, 12:17) looks at the world between life and
death. Memento Mori: The History of Post-Mortem Photography (1080p,
10:59) takes viewers into the history of photographing the dead as a form of
remembrance. Also included is a collection of deleted scenes (480p, 8:32) with
optional director commentary, the film's trailer (1080p, 2:28), and additional
1080p trailers for My Bloody Valentine 3-D, The Eye, and Cabin
Fever. LG Live allows users to activate "widgets" over the main menu
that displays the current weather, time, and Lionsgate-related news. It also
currently offers a collection of online trailers. Disc two of this set contains
a digital copy of the film. Sampled on a second generation iPod Touch, the image
suffers from noticeable blocking throughout but otherwise appears steady and
accurate to the source. The audio track delivers a fairly mundane experience,
strong in all the right places and featuring a fair bit of left-to-right and
right-to-left information but, obviously due to limitations, not nearly as
immersive or chilling as the track found on the Blu-ray disc.

Wendy: But what about you?
Matt Campbell: I'm already dead.
[reciting a poem]
Matt Campbell: One bright day in the middle of
the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back
they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each
other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and came and
killed those two dead boys.
[Matt and Wendy
sitting at the table looking at things they found in the
floorboards]
Wendy: [looking at Matt]

Matt Campbell: [Looking at a
picture of Jonah] Nothing.

everyday since we've been here.
Matt Campbell: [to Wendy]
Okay, I wake up in the middle of the night, and it feels
like he's been inside me, looking out through my eyes.
Matt Campbell: [to Wendy] One
bright day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got
up to fight, okay me and him, we're just two dead boys.
Wendy: [to Matt] Maybe this
place is haunted.
Wendy: [to Matt] Either way,I
mean we have to find out who put these things under the
floorboards and why.
Matt Campbell: [to Wendy]
Yeah but how?
Wendy: [to Matt] Okay don't
tell anyone, But there are these buildings all over the
country where secret knowledge is kept.
[Matt staring at Wendy]
Wendy: [to Matt] Known only,
as libraries.
