John Ridley & Blumhouse's 'Project Poltergeist'

Oscar-winning filmmaker, John Ridley is writing and producing a new horror film for Blumhouse based on the first haunting in a public housing project. So basically it’s a Good Times ghost story. Interesting. Although I am not a big fan of horror movies, I may have to check this one out. I do like that black people and minorities are playing a big role in horror films, besides being the first victims. (THR)
