A Haunted House 2 (2014)
It'll scare the #2 out of you.
After exorcising the demons of his ex, Malcolm starts afresh with his new girlfriend and her two children. After moving into their dream home, Malcolm is once again plagued by bizarre paranormal events.
In A Haunted House 2, consciousness is carried by toys and objects — a plane of “parody haunted house”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing fear, family, otherness.
