A Haunted House

When newlyweds Malcolm and Kisha discover a demon haunting their dream home, Malcolm must juggle his desperate need for intimacy with an escalating battle against possession—enlisting a priest, a psychic, and a bumbling ghost‑busting crew before the house drives them both mad.

This $*%! ain't paranormal.

Synopsis

Malcolm and Kisha move into their dream home, only to discover that a demon also lives there. When Kisha becomes possessed, Malcolm, determined to maintain his sex life, seeks help from a priest, a psychic, and a team of ghost-busters in this parody of recent "found-footage/documentary style" films.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 26

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 24× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
