"This house is really bad." Ya think? The latest film in the long-standing franchise (number 12 to be exact) that is "based on true events" is coming to haunt theaters on January 2, 2015 and its first trailer has been released via Yahoo! Movies. "Amityville: The Awakening" stars Cameron Monaghan as James, the severely injured son of Jennifer Jason Leigh and brother of brooding Bella Thorne. The home on 112 Ocean Avenue is close to a good hospital and despite its dark past, will prove to be a super duper place for him to recover and not be possessed by evil. Where's dad though? It's probably for the best. Dads don't do very well in this home.

The trailer is super creepy and perhaps this film has potential to scare and entertain? Check it out below and let us know if you're ready to another trip to Amityville.

'A World of Haunted Houses' Infographic Asks, 'Have You Ever Seen a Ghost?'

A World of Haunted Houses [Infographic] by the team at Cheapflights

According to this infographic, "A World of Haunted Houses," beliefs about ghosts certainly vary around the world. We here in the United States have more people saying they've seen a ghost. However, compared to England and Canada, we don't believe as strongly as they do with only 45% of our population versus 52% in England and 47% in Canada. Why do you suppose this is true? There are 32% of Americans who also believe we can interact with ghosts. Are you in that percentage?

Out of the top five most notorious haunted destinations in the world, two of the five are in the United States (The Amityville House and The Myrtles Plantation). Take a look at the infographic (after the jump or click on the link under the pic) and let us know what you think. What was left off? Have you ever been to one or all of the listed notorious haunted locations? Have you seen a ghost? Was it from Canada? Boo.
