The Parents

What kind of parents do they think they are? They shove their kids in the basement of a morgue, make them think their crazy, and for what? Money.

I found the mother particularly moronic, especially at the beginning, when she's mopping the floor. Did she not notice the gallons of blood on the floor as she started to mop? And then when she's covered half the floor she stops? What the hell?

Their children are tormented and possessed, their niece is attacked by their possessed son twice (I'm not sure if he was trying to rape her, or kill her or what, but you know he was going to do something) and then almost strangled during an exorcism, and they don't move, yet after the exorcism gets rid of the demons, they move?! Because of the memories?! I think current demonic activity would trump bad memories any day, at least for people who actually cared about their children.

actually they moved their due to the sons medical condition. It was close and affordable. MOst times peoples haunting experiences seem to be worsened due to their inability to afford to move.

Therapy is not for everyone, unless you talk to yourself. Oh and think you are a religious figure.

I know why they moved there, but the fact that they didn't move after the hauntings began is what really got up my nose, because they could have found someplace else that was close by and affordable and not crawling with demonic prescences. They just didn't want to be bothered.

Absolutely agree. What a morons. "Mommy" and "Daddy" acted as a typical asswhole-parents from the horror "B" movies back in mid 80s. Irrational behavior, stubbornness almost to the point of annoyance.

PS: the girl with the "rosary beads" was HOT";)

I TOTALLY hear ya! I just watched this the other day and I was getting madder and madder by the parents I literally at one time yelled at the TV. I would begin to act like Paul towards them even if I wasn't possessed.

WHY didn't they believe thier children just once??? I was like... sleep down there with the kids one night or just you two and see if anything happens. ONE NIGHT jackasses. I hated both of them. lol!

If I was the oldest son, and after I was proven right, I'd have probably never forgiven my parents and would have had little to do with them afterwards. Once I was grown and moved out, my visits would have been yearly, if that.

I agree. Just watched this last week and was amazed by the parent's stupidity and stubborness. Um, every one of your kids says they've seen ghosts but you STILL don't believe them? Gees, they were stupid.
