Exorcists, wizards and con men

Demonic attack -- now there's something that Hollywood animation crews have realized in vivid, awful detail in film after film. Check out the trailer for the new movie "The Haunting in Connecticut" and you'll see a perfect recent example. Shadowy figures, horrific tattoos breaking out all over someone's body, a young boy vomiting a snake-shaped cloud . . . there's enough in the trailer alone to guarantee plenty of uncomfortable nights if you live alone (or if you don't, for that matter).
