Produced by The Asylum, The Haunting of Whaley House begins filming on March 4th for an anticipated late 2012 release. Get daily updates on the production and stay connected through The Haunting of Whaley House official Facebook fan page.

Just because you don't believe in ghosts doesn't mean they don't believe in you!

Penny is a skeptic, despite the fact that she works as a tour guide at The Whaley House, considered America's most haunted house.

Needless to say, it was a hit at the box office and Kinski deservingly received a Saturn Award for Best Actress.
