This is promising to be a different week of releases. First off, we have the surprisingly cool looking haunted house movie THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT hitting theaters (let’s hope it lives up to the hype). Then there’s not one, but TWO Sci-Fi Channel original movies hitting DVD: LOCUSTS (with Julie Benz!) and SNAKEHEAD TERROR. Wow. Not even in your wildest dreams could you have imagined you’d be so lucky.
