They're baaack…and this time, it's not the kid that's haunted.

James Wan's The Conjuring just raked in over $250 million worldwide at the box office. Can the sequel to his 2011 hit top that? One thing's for sure; opening on Friday the 13th will certainly help. (Fun fact: Insidious opened on April Fools' Day!)

Starting minutes after the end of Insidious, the Lambert family has no time to breathe since rescuing their son from the demonic netherworld known as the Further. Elise (the awesome Lin Shaye) didn't survive the first film so it's a good thing helpful spirits reside there too. Dear old dad Josh (Patrick Wilson) is acting mighty strange though. A flashback to when Elise first met Josh's mom (Barbara Hershey) fills in some blanks. In fact, a great portion of the sequel is spent expanding the backstory. Is that a good thing?
