Move over, SCARY MOVIE 5, there’s a new (and perhaps even dumber) horror spoof in town.

Open Road Films, in partnership with Endgame Entertainment, has acquired all U.S. distribution rights to A HAUNTED HOUSE, co-written by and starring Marlon Wayans, from IM Global.

In an outrageous send up of the Paranormal Activity movies, The Devil Inside and other “found footage” movies, A HAUNTED HOUSE features young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) who have just moved in to their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they’re not alone. But it’s not the house that’s haunted, it’s Malcolm’s girlfriend who is possessed by a demon. Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship… or, more importantly, his sex life.

We last wrote about the comedy in July, only then it was known as SMART ASS. Can’t say this is a more fitting title, but it sure is a better one.

A HAUNTED HOUSE, which also stars Nick Swardson, David Koechner, Liana Mendoza (below), Jamie Noel, Robin Thede, and Affion Crockett, opens up on JANUARY 11th.
